This reminds me of nagging concerns I have had about many of the images
I have seen used to illustrate human private parts.
First, in too many cases they are, quite simply put, ugly or gross
images. I realize that we specialize in harnessing dilettantism, and
that means we often get whatever can be produced off-the-cuff in a
moment or two, but we are not winning any awards in the quality
department with ugly snapshots of private parts. See [[Mull of Kintyre
rule]]. Have we no airbrushes or line-drawing artists "on staff"?
Second, also related to our dilettantism, many of the images fail to
illustrate well the subject. At [[Nipple]] there was a profile of a
female human nipple, but there was no cross-sectional line drawing. We
came off looking like, well, a dilettantism-driven and troll-infested Wiki.
Is an ugly or gross and controversial image better than no image at all?
