- Maybe try to work something like this into the Wikipedia critique: The fact that such major flaws in important articles have been present for so long calls into question both the factuality and the impartiality of everything on Wikipedia.
I may not be able to do so while retaining the 2000 byte maximum. I'll probably have to either go above that (perhaps-silly legacy) limit or leave out some potentially-important detail(s). The latest revision is below.
As of 2022/04/18 several related English Wikipedia articles for many years have had major & inexcusable flaws. Among them:
• The "human anus" article has an image of a human female's anus and perineum that probably were damaged by some kind of major trauma. Biological human females normally lack an evident midline perineal raphe, or seamlike union/ridge, in the anogenital region; as the bulbospongiosus muscle is separated in them, embryologically it does not promote formation of an obvious, raised seam as it may in biological males [References: Anatomy & Trauma]. Furthermore, the "perineal raphe" article suggests otherwise involving fusion of urogenital folds, which normally doesn't occur in biological females[1].
• The "simple columnar epithelium" article explains neither its fragility nor (at least in the anorectal region) absence of somatic innervation.
The "anal sex" article …
• lacks neutrality by giving the impression that opposition is limited to irrational religious positions. It doesn't present even one _scientific_ opposing perspective, such as this: The human anorectum is very unsuited for many common receptive activities due to the region's anatomy and physiology. The single short-term benefit, _potential_ pleasure, is greatly outweighed by the many short- and long-term health risks to a receptive person.
• fails to mention the normalization of injurious anorectal violence in pornography featuring real people.
• does not disambiguate the term "hemorrhoid," which can refer to pathology or normal anatomy. Anoreceptive activity can both cause hemorrhoidal disease and worsen an existing case.
• contains a logically-fallacious appeal to nature: "natural" is not necessarily good or desirable, nor is "unnatural" necessarily the inverse.
Those flaws have been contributing for far too long to rampant a
