Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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.

[edit] Wrong information

The section where it talks about growth of penis during puberty cites a research that supposingly found out that penis stops growing after age of 17. The thing is that its not even what the research was about. I cant edit the page so if someone else can please do.

[edit] Penis size?

This article seems to have a focus on the sizes of various penises throughout the animal kingdom, rather than on the functions of penises themselves--as it stands now, the article should really be called "Penis size", or the information here should be moved to such an article. Perhaps more physiological and evolutionary information would be a plus? Zujua (talk) 06:17, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I added a cleanup tag for this reason, hopefully this article can be greatly expanded. (Pun not originally intended) Zujua (talk) 06:28, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Images in this article

Before any more edit wars occur, please bear in mind that this is not an article about the human penis. This was split off into Human penis, as the hatnote says. There does not really need to be an image of the human penis in this article, so the edit warring is missing the point.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 16:59, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

mention the average, it's 1-4 inches 70.49.81.20 (talk) 04:26, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Is this a joke? First you'd need a RS for that claim. Second you'd have to explain how the human race would survive...;-) -- Brangifer (talk) 04:29, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
