Frequently asked questions

Many of these questions arise frequently on the talk page concerning the penis.

To view an explanation to the answer, click the [show] link to the right of the question.

Q1:I have an issue with a picture on this article.

A1: You can post a message on this page about your concern. If you add or remove a photograph from the article, do not be surprised if someone else undoes your edit within hours. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not censored. However from an editorial standpoint, debate about the inclusion or exclusion of certain pictures (or types of pictures) is a permanent fixture of this talk page.

Q2: I have an issue with a certain type of penis not being represented in photographs on this article.

A2: See answer to previous question.

Q3: I would like to upload a picture of my penis.

A3: Unfortunately, the realities of supply and demand are not in your favor. There is a large supply of Wikipedia editors willing to photograph their penis in the name of science. However, the demand is much lower. If you feel that your penis is more deserving of placement on the article page, you are free to make your case below.

The paragraph titled 'Human Penis' gives an accurate description of an erection as the stiffening and rising of the penis. However there is no image to demonstrate an erection. May I suggest you include this image to illustrate an erection. File:Male genitals - erect penis and testicles.jpg Tricky-wiki-2021 (talk) 14:53, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not really needed here: the section includes a link to Human penis article, and that article does contain images of erections. IdreamofJeanie (talk) 16:37, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
