Wikipedia Ambassador Program assignment

This article is the subject of an educational assignment at Rice University supported by the Wikipedia Ambassador Program during the 2012 Q4 term. Further details are available on the course page.

American Concept

This is not scientific at all and was created by a dentist in the USA. It is a delusion of American culture and should not be presented in any way as science. For example, in regards to HIV, over half the cases are young African women in south eastern African, not 'men who have sex with men'. They are using American samples then trying to apply it to humanity. These samples even represent a sub-group of the people they define, as if viruses just 'appear in men'. To think that women cannot get STD/Is is unscientific utterly. This belongs in the Flat Earth section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.162.211.228 (talk) 22:38, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why is MLM inconsistently italicized?

Should it be MLM or written MLM ? Is there a way to know when it should be italicized or is it a stylistic choice that has not been consistent throughout the article? Thanks for helping Narbine (talk) 22:35, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Narbine: I'm many months late here, but the reason is MOS:WORDSASWORDS. It can look a bit weird in an article about a term like this, because of all the swapping between italicised and un-italicised text, but it is how the MOS recommends to write.

First sentence alteration

Where it states "They may identify as gay, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, or heterosexual" could we please include omnisexual and trisexual in order to try and better represent the spectra of preference as I find their omission not quite problematic but a little troublesome. Thanks! 5.81.14.202 (talk) 17:49, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Those terms are much less common, and it was never meant to be an exhaustive list, nor would such a thing be practical. Crossroads ^-talk- 01:44, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redundancy

The content of this article is largely similar to Gay sexual practices, should these articles be merged, or perhaps changed to show a clearer differentiation between MSM the clinical topic and GSP the sexuality topic? ペゴボド同士 (talk)08:10, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 6 April 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Men who have sex with men. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
