Now, I would like to make my own addition to the
"offensive material" issue. Article [[Child]] has an
offensive photograph! It is the photo of a White
child. But not all children are white. There are black
and yellow children too! So this article is offensive
to non-Whites and it is written from a White's Point
Of View, which is against the NPOV spirit! I strongly
suggest to remove this photo and replace it with a
photo showing three children: one white, one black and
one yellow, representing the friendship between the
races and the unity of humanity! (in case you are
wondering, I am White).
Amen! Personally, I find the picture on the [[Penis]] article *quite*
offensive. Not all people have penises! This article is inherently
sexist and should be deleted!

(BTW, absolutely no offense to Matt, who brought up the skin color
issue. Just having a little fun) :)
Seriously, though, I agree that

If only because diagrams tell you much more (eg.,
[[Image:Maleana2.gif]] vs. [[Image:Erect_penis.gif]]). I have no
objection to pictures, and I think they are entirely appropriate, but
diagrams are more informative. If the two are deemed redundant, I'd
rather have the diagrams.
