though, let me point out that drawing a comparison like "all intact (that's the word) people are against circumcision" equals "all Scandinavians (presumably being blond and blue-eyed, which is not true at all in its own right) are Nazis" attests to very bad rhetorical and especially argumentative competence to say the very least. A more suitable comparison might be regarding "all people with two healthy eyes are against having their eyes removed at birth unconsenting despite of all the scientificly correct and profound warnings that having eyes can lead to short-sightedness or even worse stuff". Yes, I am against neonatal circumcision. Very strongly so. And still, I maintain that this is not because of any anti-circ bias. You see, just talking about (or arguiing out of the assumption of) the equality of anti-circ bias versus pro-circ bias presents a logical error: The states of "circumcised" versus "intact" are not in a symmetric dichotomy, because the "intact" state of a person's genitals continues to offer both possibilites (staying intact versus getting circumcised). Therefore, and this needs no citation whatsoever, because it is an argument strictly derived from applied logic, the voices of pro-circ people and even studies can never count as much as voices of people who resent their (involuntary) genital mutilation. This means: even if close to every circumcised man would (for whatever reasons) claim their happiness about having been circumcised, they still could have had it done later. But there is now way back (like in the second law of thermodynamics). I, for one, can state that I would eagerly give ten years of my life for not having been circumcised prior to my potential consent. So there is an asymmetric set of states and I ask you folks to defy the logic of my argument. Who tells you that (concerning Auvert, for example) some men in Africa would not think like that even in the face of an allegedly reduced risk of HIV infection? Nobody can! And therefore, Auvert and all studies proposing mass circumcision for HIV prevention are de facto invalid, even IF they eventually turned out to be supported by empirical evidence on a large scale. And so is the sheer idea of neonatal circumcision in general. And I prefer the term "intact" for a similar reason: "intact" can stand for "uncircumcised" (as in "not yet circumcised") but also for continued genital integrity (as in "never will be circumcised"). So this is not a biased choice of mine either, but is instead based on the same logic that hopefully applies to most people (as in "most people are neither circumcised nor wasting a single moment of thought towards letting themselves or their children be circumcised").

supports routine circumcision of males", "I lack bias of any kind", "I'm only presenting the evidence" or "I'm on science's side", etc, etc. It is so amusing to see this as these people clearly have some kind of deep irrational hatred of the normal male anatomy. At least "anti-circumcision fanatics", as they're called by Jakew's ilk, are honest and transparent about what they are saying. I find it especially hard, however, to understand Jakew's motivation for the holding the views he does. Usually one can write these people off because they are old, male, circumcised at birth and from the USA. I accept that Jakew is satisfied with his own circumcision, but what does he make of the fact (to use a phrase he might use, the "overwhelming evidence") that above 99% of intact men never need to be circumcised and would never want to be in their lives. Men with foreskins seldom elect to have this procedure done to them. Jakew is thus a rare specimen and naturally he can do what he likes with his own body, but how can he expect anyone else (outside of the US and other circumcising countries) to take him seriously? In his country, the last medical school of thought to encourage circumcision so eagerly was the Victorian one, in which he, a man of the 21st century, firmly places himself.

954:. We understand you feel strongly about it. People who feel strongly about issues shouldn't edit those articles, that's my opinion. In this article, NPOV means expressing both sides, or all sides proportionally and appropriately. It does not mean not expressing any view that someone disagrees with. There are people who advocate, prefer, and are for circumcision. That's okay. They get to express the factual data related to their perspective here, and their opinions on the talk page. My read of the article is that in numerous places it is clearly POV against circumcision. There doesn't seem to be a great deal of effort to present both sides in a balanced fashion. Your assertion that the article "is generally currently showing a pro-circumcision bias", IMO, is just unfounded. Your strong language, and your continued efforts to bias the article in one direction, rather than let the myriad of other editors find consensus on a balanced NPOV article is innapropriate (in my opinion). Please be civil. Please try to work on the article from a non-emotional perspective that assumes the other people are working with 2077:

organisations attempt to mislead the public. As for erogenous tissue, they haven't shown it to be so at all - tissue samples on microscope slides aren't known for their sexual responsiveness, after all, and a different kind of study would be needed to determine such a thing. Interestingly, none have been performed. Nor has any comparative anatomical studies been performed with hard data - just vague statements and speculation (not to mention the ridiculous assertion that the glans cannot feel a pin-prick) from people like John Taylor (who just happens to be a member of NOCIRC). But none of that seems to stop anti-circ sites from making wild claims like saying that the foreskin is the primary erogenous zone of the male body...

1860:"Emotional distress, manifesting as intrusive thoughts about one’s circumcision, included feelings of mutilation (60%), low self-esteem/inferiority to intact men (50%), genital dysmorphia (55%), rage (52%), resentment/depression (59%), violation (46%), or parental betrayal (30%). Many respondents (41%) reported that their physical/emotional suffering impeded emotional intimacy with partner(s), resulting in sexual dysfunction. For some, lack of compassion from parents, siblings or friends fostered bitter interpersonal conflict or alienation. Almost a third of respondents (29%) reported dependence on substances or behaviors to relieve their suffering (tobacco, alcohol, drugs, food and/or sexual compulsivity)." 2423:

neutrality to some degree in the distant future. But NOT YOU, because you are an individual (a circumcised male? maybe Caucasian American?) and are therefore NOT able to be personally objective about this, it's simply impossible. And do not give me that "dedicated to Knowledge" BS. In my opinion you are biased, not me! You are exploiting NPOV! The thought that any parents made the choice to have their baby circumcised because they looked it up on Knowledge, and read through your oh-so-polite comments and /or NOT reading through the confusing overlength article makes me sick! And that's about it. YOU MAKE ME SICK! And that's not meant to be provocative AT ALL, it is simply true and to the point.

not fix this problem, and previous attempts to negotiate an editorial solution have failed. This appears to be a problem that long pre-dates my involvement with this article and represents "cherry picking" of quotations by advocates on one side of the debate. As I said, I wasn`t particularly enamored of the idea of placing that quote where I did, and I would prefer a more elegant editorial solution to the problem. I will certainly defer to your request to not reinsert the disputed quote, however I think that there is still an egregious problem with this article misrepresenting the policy of the AMA and other medical organizations and will look forward to any ideas you may have to resolve this.

1935:. In particular, note the absence of the comparative statements "Over three quarters were happy to be circumcised, and most were very positive about it. On the negative side, while only a few circumcised men wished they weren't, most of these felt very strongly about it. ... Natural men were less enthusiastic about their state - the majority were happy to be the way they were but nearly a quarter wished they had been circumcised, and half of these (13% of the total) said that they intended to get circumcised. Here, too, feelings ran deep..." Yet you'd never have guessed that the facts were so. From Hammond's (mis)representation, you'd think it was really damning. 3117:

exists here because the web site content is too controversial to be in the article. Well, if that is the case, then we should not have a web link to it either. It is not our job in this article to convince people that they should not have their child circumsized (or themselves) or that they should do so. It is not a page for activism, it is supposed to be a factual article supported by verifiable and acceptable citations. Those people from either side that are on a crusade should not be editing this article. Adding external web links as a continuation of the battle on the talk page to push one POV or another is not acceptable.

1856:"Other reports suggest that some circumcised individuals compensate for a diminished sexual response with either compulsive sexual behaviors or those offering greater stimulation (masturbation, oral/anal sex) . A desensitized glans and the absence of the fine-touch receptors and erogenous mobility of the prepuce may necessitate inordinate stimulation of residual penile nerve endings to achieve pleasure and orgasm. Numerous respondents described needing to resort to extraordinary, often violent, thrusting during intercourse, with some respondents (or their wives) reporting genital dryness, abrasion, pain and bleeding." 1871:"One report suggested that 20% of circumcised men were dissatisfied with their condition, while 18%of them would rather not have been circumcised . Another survey canvassed 197 intact and circumcised American men, who reported their perception of their genital condition. Of intact men, 80%, 3% and 17% were satisfied, dissatisfied or ambivalent. Of the circumcised men, the respective values were 38%, 20% and 41%. Another report revealed that half the respondents circumcised as infants were unhappy about it, compared with 3% of non-circumcised respondents who were unhappy being intact." 340:'s summary paragraph above would certainly seem to imply (by selective use of quotes) that the organization opposes neonatal circumcision, which a reading of the detail clearly does not support. On the contrary, they quite specifically state that the evidence of benefits and harms is "equally balanced". This has been a repeated issue with this editor's summaries on the positions of Canadian and US medical societies, where s/he states that an organization does not support circumcision, but leaves out the fact that they don't oppose it, either. 2376:

constitutional Freedom of Speech, may lead to some disturbing scenarios. Just for the sake of the argument let me make one maybe inappropriate but certainly not purposely offending comparison. For example, taking the NPOV idea to it's logical extreme one may state that all those people who claim the Holocaust actually happened are biased and can also refer to FoS. Not so in Germany: For all that it's worth, we have a law forbidding people to cast doubt on the REALITY of Holocaust. End of inappropriate comparison.

211:

downplays its risks and ethical issues. Frequently editors will stop by, read the article, and say to themselves "Jesus H. Christ, this is a horribly biased article. I'll fix it up a little to conform to WP:NPOV." Then someone, typically JakeW, will revert them, usually with little explanation. If pressed for explanation, he will explain that "2+2=4" is original research, and that major medical organizations are only reliable sources when they're directly quoting studies whose methods JakeW agrees with.

973:

opinionated individuals who are virtually squatting long term on the article. More importantly there is far too much material about the argument on the article which should be a neutral study of the practice. Sure a series of people come in, correct the NPOV get reverted, get cross and leave: but that's a bit understandable. On basis of your "People who feel strongly about issues shouldn't edit those articles, that's my opinion" a few of the regulars on this article shoul take a holiday.--

1007:

in the news recently of a man in canada who had the government pay for plastic surgery to graft skin onto his penile shaft to replace skin lost to a very henius circumcision. He was held down by two priests at approx age 8 and crudely circumcised "for his masturbatory ways" - they held him so forcefully they broke his arm and jaw and circ'ed him so severely that he couldn't get an erection without it being painful for the rest of his life (until the surgery).

2419:

Professional journalism abandoned this ideal a long time ago in favor of opinion-making. To inform always means to influence, and the basic information one can derive from reading the article or the discussion is that there are many different people with many different POVs and no one is right OR wrong, and therefore concluding that (infant) circ is not just so bad. Well, it is in that it simply takes the liberty of choice away from an unconsenting baby.

1852:"The reported sexual consequences included progressive sensory deficit in the preputial remnant and glans (61%), causing sexual dysfunction (erectile problems, ejaculatory difficulties, and/or anorgasmia); extraordinary stimulation required for orgasm (40%), with many respondents reporting that vaginal sex offered inadequate stimulation for pleasure and/or orgasm; and sexual dysfunction resulting from emotional distress (see Psychological consequences)." 2888:: A 2002 peer reviewed journal of the AAFP reported on research finding “participants reported significantly reduced erectile function, decreased penile sensitivity, no significant change in sexual activity, and significantly improved satisfaction after circumcision. This improved satisfaction represented a more satisfactory appearance of the penis and less pain during sexual activity. These results cannot be generalized to neonatal circumcision.” 336:

out though, that the first paragraph change at the top of that first page jumps out, and should have been reverted, because it's atrocious, mixing reports from three different years to take one line (with no context) from the 1975 report. The quote from the latest report in 1996 appears, as part of a much more complete statement, in the next paragraph. The full paragraph below makes numerous references to "benefits and harms" (i.e. two sides).

is more important than the studies reviewed by the Cochrane Collaboration (widely considered to be the authority on evidence-based medicine), b) why it is more important than the conclusion of the Cochrane Collaboration, who described the value of such studies as "doubtful", and highlighted the importance of randomised controlled trials instead, and c) why it is more important than any of the 76 or so published or presented in the last year.

tethering effect of an unusually prominent frenulum ... Twenty of the 70 boys (28%) demonstrated a ventral glandular tilt (glandular chordee) due to an unusually prominent frenulum ... Persistent frenular chordee after circumcision may result in deformity of the penis on erection making sexual intercourse difficult or uncomfortable." AS. Griffin and RL.

adopting a different moral position every day depending upon the moral beliefs of whoever had edited a page most recently (arguably this happens already, but at least policy can theoretically stop it). At various points in time, Knowledge would vigorously oppose abortion, advocate nuking Iran, simultaneously support feminism and oppose equality for women, etc, etc. Who could take such an encyclopaedia seriously? It would be a joke!

1848:" Respondents reported wide-ranging physical consequences from their circumcisions. Among the most significant were prominent scarring (33%), insufficient penile skin for comfortable erection (27%), erectile curvature from uneven skin loss (16%), pain and bleeding upon erection/manipulation (17%), painful skin bridges (12%), other, e.g. beveling deformities of the glans, meatal stenosis, recurrent non-specific urethritis (20%)." 2855:

There is no citation here, there is no good citation POSSIBLE here -all studies supporting are flawed," and "remove introduction of pov-pushing censorship. No medical benefit ever even suggested can justify non-voluntary genital alteration." I believe that it is therefore appropriate to remind you of actions that should be avoided; the intention is not to cause offense, and I apologise for any inadvertently caused.

3078:

links just seemed to be a projection of the ongoing pro/con circumcision debate on the talk page. If you disagree with my judgement call, which I respect, I am happy to discuss it and find a compromise or consensus with others. Perhaps the three or four links you added (and I am not sure what they contained) made the entire section of external links just too large. Atom 15:15, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

as unhealthy practices are visited upon intact infants/children out of ignorance. Such as foreably retracting the foreskin when it's developmentally non-retractable - this causes severe damage and can end up causing one of the various medical conditions that would dictate the need for a circumcision! Furthermore many causes of developmental phimosis are misdiagnosed as pathological phimosis.

899:

more than 20 times that I have edited the article to add POV commentary - I came TO THIS PAGE to discuss this as a means to try and raise the quality of the article and increase it's NPOV compliance - you have no interest in being NPOV compliant, you want the article to show your POV as clearly demonstrated by your behavior and edit history that users other than myself have noticed.

2845:

following sections should be summarized in the main (circ) topic, and then detailed in the "main article." (Medical analysis of circumcision) should be combined with the main (medical aspects) article ... 4.2 HIV 4.2.1 Studies 4.2.2 Methodology 4.3 HPV 4.4 hygiene 4.5 Infectious and chronic conditions 4.6 Penile cancer 4.7 Phimosis and paraphimosis 4.8 Urinary tract infections.

1088:(replies are the same level are supposed to be listed in CHRONOLOGICAL order - do not insert your replies above mine). Bleustein was a joke - it has a sample not large enough to use validly for statistical purposes - making extrapolation a stretch. Then it fatally (to any claims of validity) had a non-random sample. Bleustein was yet another piece of pro-circ junk science. 2199:

more specific subjects can and do include mention of it (as you've seen). In the main article, we have to summarise and prioritise (opinions are simply not as valuable as facts). We already include the remarks of several med orgs on the subject, to which we should give precedence as per NPOVUW. Additionally, such a quote can't be included directly without performing

1427:. Furthermore, if you bother to follow up references, you'll find that a) many are misrepresented, b) many others are merely opinion pieces, rather than scientific studies, c) several contradict each other, and d) a simple literature search often reveals that the (carefully) selected references are in fact anomalous results and/or opinions contradicted by research. 2605:

scholarly research and publication. If you can find such discussion in scholarly journals then reference to it of course belongs in the article. But you have only challenged it on the basis of your own scepticism or that of others who have not published their misgivings in appropriately citeable publications. Why don't you do some research and find such material?

2635:'s ethnology in American Samoa, but couched in terms of such blustering and offputting indignation that it was not met with the respect it deserved on its merits. If the report you mention is indeed published in a generally respected place then it certainly deserves mention, if only in passing as a caveat as to Auvert. Otherwise, as you must realise, not. 1720:"Infectious and chronic conditions" is weasel wordy, how about you cite the difference in the rates - it's minisculue to the point of insigificance. Just like Auvert if, Auvert was correct, 1.25 per 100 means 400 people have to be circumcised to prevent 5 cases of AIDS - hardly fair to the 395. Just wear a farking condom! (Auvert is fatally flawed crap) 2380:

POV there is NO medical indication to circumcise EVER. It is NOT biased to say that it is a unnecessary risky operation, barbaric rape and a body assault resulting in intended permanent physical damage. It is purely rational and morally upright to get enraged by the idea of a discussion regarding NPOV when we are talking about circumcision here.

2986:

of opinion, supporting, or attacking either position don't belong here. If there is pertinent information, pull that into the article and properly cite it. I'm not attacking or supporitng either side by removing web links that do not meet wikipedia policy. If it is a supporting reference for information, put it in the references section.

him to respond to my last posting. Isn't it true that every individual, if at all, has a BIASED POV concerning circumcision? Isn't it therefore also true, that for the sake of the whole discussion we should be straightforward about our won POV and not conceal it behind a constant bladdering about NPOV like Jakew constantly does?

effects. In america - the largest english speaking country - the foreskin is treated as a birth defect, and the missing information from the medical section reinforces that position making it an NPOV violation. Every attempt to resolve the issues with the overstated benefits and totally ignored costs is stonewalled by

3116:

web links that are opinion/original research are not applicable here. Links that support facts asserted in the articles are references, should meet Knowledge standards for such, and be placed in the references section, not in external links. It has been asserted by some other editor that a web link

2985:

Look, the last thing I want to do is get involved in the opinionated battles going on here. Just because external links haven't been closely reviewd before doesn't mean that Knowledge policy can't be enforced. This is an encyclopedia, not a collection of web links. POV web sites largely consisting

2483:

Well, this IS a personal attack and I do not care if I get banned. My being aggressive is a REACTION to the intrinsic aggressiveness of Jakew's comments. He SOUNDS polite, but ACTS aggressively. Whereas that MAKES me aggressive and I'm very much trying to be honest about that. And I would really like

2313:

Wow, what a spectacular episode. And not least for the startling revelation when I looked up Dr. Fleiss. I think the only thing they missed was the fact that the majority of the world does not circumcize; but then, P&T is intended for an American audience, so unlike us, they can be forgiven for

2198:

Actually, I have pointed out specifics above: without nerve counts, you cannot even predict the relative sensitivity, and without sensory testing, you cannot verify the prediction. Anyway, the available space is limited, and we can't give space to every opinion that has ever been written. Articles on

1582:

My position is more accurately stated as "Circumcision should be illegal until age 18, and excluding clear and direct medical need (ie a case of severe pathological phimosis". This would have to be accompanied by an education campaign in the united states and several other english speaking countries

1490:

No, I don't think that's a good way to frame the argument. A lot of "intactivist" types would like to spread (what they believe is) the truth about circumcision, and then (they assume that) no one will choose it for any reasons but religious. No need to ban it. I think the issue is more comparable

1348:

I'm having trouble here. I'm trying to imagine a situation in which a reader could conceivably read an article on circumcision and somehow make the mistake of thinking that the intended sense of the word 'uncircumcised' was in fact an obscure (and I strongly suspect mainly historical) religious term,

1118:

One thing should be easy...look at the statistics in all those "studies", and only include statistically relevant findings. Right now, we have small study groups with poor response rates, subjective responses with low variability, and lots of statistically irrelevant but confusing junk. Most of the

1006:

yes, but not secular. Circumcision was started in america in the late 1800s as a means to "cure" masturbation and was introduced by religious zealots. Many people still say they are doing it "for religious reasons" (even when they belong to religions that do not circumcise), and there is an example

859:

However, "UN agencies emphasize that the final results of the ongoing trials will be essential to determining the efficacy of circumcision in preventing HIV infection in men in differing social and cultural settings. Once the findings of these trials have been announced and reviewed in 2007, WHO, the

832:

You're changing the subject. I don't particularily care WHICH study is cited that calls Auvert into question - last I checked the article made Auvert sound like it was 100% set in stone as a true result. I just want everything in this article to be put in perspective so that people don't go out and

730:

You have a passion for your position, and you are a perfect candidate for being an activist for that position. Unfortunately, that isn't beneficial for being an editor with the goal of a neutral position. This article is not the proper place for activism. It can fairly balance the views, and point

700:

same is true of Auvert - auverrt is far from conclusive, but he has no objection to auvert because it conforms to his unencylopaedic agenda. It belongs in there because it's also "more recent" like Auvert. Also the "benefits" are not put into perspective - all those "benefits" are insignificant and

such as wearing condoms and bathing properly! JakeW is the primary ramrod of bias into this article to the point that he says that studies that support his position are FLAWLESS and UNIMPEACHABLE even when given a list of specific criticisms including show-stopping ones. He has consistently blocked

335:

The reason that particular one was reverted is that it was the first of about six major edits in a row, and a later editor, rather than trying to sort every particular change, just reverted the whole lot. Maybe not the ideal way to handle it, but it was a rather agressive editing spree. I might point

2722:

And let me add: This logical argument poses a serious problem to all the people (you know who I'm talking about), who constantly avoid any real dicussion and instead point to Knowledge guidelines like NPOV. This is because IF the logic of the argument I made is valid AND IF even Knowledge guidelines

2574:

85% of men on this planet are not altered, that would make my opinion a majority one. The information that is censored is verifiable, and some of it is even sourced elsewhere on wikipedia with sources that Jakew rejects on this talk page as "not really experts" and tries to cite RS and Verifiabiity

2564:

It's a hard pill to swallow, but fundamentally, as a tertiary-sourced encyclopedia, Knowledge is more concerned with "verifiability" than "truth." This sometimes leads to articles that I personally disagree with, but on the whole results in a more reliable, trustworthy, and consistent encyclopedia,

2512:

My read of the article is that it is fairly well balanced. My perception is that it is more weighted against circumcision, rather than being perfectly balanced. Several places it could be worded to be more neutral, but it appears (to me) that the purpose in those sections is to not appear neutral,

2467:

You try to frame things in terms of who is biased. Again, it doesn't matter. As long as we adhere to policy, the article is good, and that's what counts. Indeed, I would suggest that with controversial subjects like this, it is absolutely essential that we are extra-scrupulous in making sure that we

1902:

Amusingly enough, you'll note THAT I SAID THAT and so did the source, and then they said moved onto studies of the general population, WHICH STILL showed negatively for circumcision. Your opinions carry zero weight with me Jakew, you're one of the worst offenders in here in keeping the article in a

1508:

LizardWizard is partially wrong - "intactivists" want to to be illegal for it to be performed on someone without their consent/prior to their age of consent without clear medical need (BMA has some decent guidelines on using less invasive treatments first). So they're free to make it for themselves

1472:

I guess we should be NPOV on the question on whether neonatal circumcision (without dire medical cause) should be considered/made illegal or be left to parental choice (which it seems to me is a wide public debate, with all sorts of guidelines being issued by professional bodies). In this regard the

1436:

Jakew I give your opinion about this much weight: 0. Pulling "That violates wikipedia rule XYZ" out of thin air every five seconds is REALLY tiring. They're a reliable source because they cite their sources. Even if you say NOHARMM is unreliable they cite their sources. I'm sick and tired of you

1352:

So this hypothetical reader would have to be a) fairly literate, in order to know such an obscure meaning, and b) incredibly - unbelievably - lacking in the ability to apply contextual clues to such situations. Such a person would find daily life incredibly difficult, if not hazardous. We're talking

914:

As for your previous contributions, you have shown a tendency to impose your POV on articles. I refer you to edit summaries such as "Removed because the studies have fatal methodology flaws that render them junkscience," "I posted the counterevidence on the freaking talk page, this is not vandalism.

898:

Bullocks, look at my edit history on the article - i've made PERHAPS two edits on the article - TWO EDITS. You guys act like I'm actually editing the article without discussion. Sorry Jakew, i cannot anymore give you the benefit of the doubt that you are acting in good faith after you have implied

822:

for "circumcision hiv". Do you propose that we include those 76 studies too? I suspect not. I suspect that you'd agree that they offer little value to the reader over what's already there. So pray tell: what is so important about this little study that it warrants inclusion? Please explain why a) it

726:

No one can speak to your specific situation. I have compassion for you. In the U.S. there are no non-voluntary circumcisions. The permission of the parents is necessary, and that makes it voluntary. You can be angry at your parents for choosing to circumsize you, choosing your religion, screening

699:

Leifern the bias is that the disadvantages are not adequately covered and that studies contradicting the "benefits" are kept out - I pointed out a study that came out almost simultaneously with Auvert and JakeW objects to it as "what does it say that's not already been said by cochrane review" - the

249:

Unfortunately, LW's suggestion can never be a fair test, because of the fact that there is a relatively large, active, and organised anti-circumcision activist lobby. Since many of them believe that circumcision is mutilation, a human rights abuse, and perhaps even child abuse, they are often highly

214:

Here's a good guideline for NPOV: We can tell that the article is NPOV when an equal number of editors think it's biased in each direction. You've seen a steady stream of editors who think it has a pro-circ bias - how many can you name that think the current article (as reverted to by JakeW) has an

210:

Alright, I was trying to phrase things neutrally, but if you're going to be a dick about it, we can do it that way. The article is currently biased. You can cite reliable sources and not do original research and still have a bias. The article currently exaggerates the benefits of circumcision and

2422:

But let me get to you: For the sake of this whole discussion, I would like you to state your personal POV about circumcision. It DOES matter, I believe. So, what is YOUR personal moral offset? Are you FOR or AGAINST circumcision? Because I do not buy your NPOV bullshit. Maybe the article can obtain

2066:

That's because you don't bother to read any study that disagrees with your position. Heck you cannot even be bothered to read the details of Auvert which DOES agree with your position. From this point Out I'm not responding to your comments as I've had enough of your POV-pushing censorship of the

1671:

Yes it is, which it's a good thing there are other studies that contradict the bullshit claims that uncircumcised wangs propagate HPV, infact an article this last week in the International Herald Tribune points out one those claims to be BS based. not to mention the entire article is about the HPV

1600:

What is "pro-circumcision" bias? 2 to 3 paragraphs about "risks" under one heading then multiple headings for specific benefits, completely ignoring many of the observed physiological changes, not putting the supposed benefits there are into perspective (IE X can also be obtained more reliably via

1518:

Come now, LK. "Intactivists" are not a gestalt entity, they're individuals. While they're opposed to circumcision by definition, there's a fairly wide range of views. Some desire a law against circumcision, while others would prefer to reduce the numbers of circumcisions through "educating" others.

most of the adults I know that were circed as adults say there is a fairly rapid and massive loss of sensativity. Furthermore the only "study" i've heard on this subject was Masters & Johnson and that had a fatally flawed methodology, the way it tested sensativity would not have stimulated the

1029:

However in newborns and infants I suspect the situation is quite different. Uncircumcised infants have glans that are so sensitive that the penis hurts should the foreskin retract a little, allowing the glans to rub against clothing. Circumcised infants therefore must fairly rapidly lose sensitvity

888:

I would argue that the article is meeting all of these goals. I've suggested a possible quote that might address the concerns you express, but you seem to have ignored it. And I'm sorry to say, but based upon your contributions (including edit summaries), you seem to be more interested in enforcing

684:

Hmm. Truly bizarre? Sounds a bit of a last refuge that... What you have now is an article listing in boring detail the positions which various people and professional bodies have pro and anti circumcision. Then there is the main article content lost in the mess most articles in Knowledge are about

498:

Again Jakew, although it is probably unintended you write as though you regard this article as your personal property... "I'm not prepared" etc. Using language as though you think you are the expert peer reviewer to accept or reject anyone's contribution is not going to help this very poor quality,

3081:

I added only two links and you know it. And one of them is necessary because it contains links to graphical content which displays what circumcision is. So look there www.sexuallymutilatedchild.org and find out yourself if you think the link is useful. But deleting the whole link section is simple

2671:

Yes, it is covered in the Cochrane review, which emphasises the importance of Auvert and the other RCTs. It also describes the value of non-RCT studies as "doubtful". I'm not interested in fooling anyone. That is precisely what it says: "Three randomized controlled trials are currently underway or

People with strong emotional investement in the topic should step out of editing this article. Maybe proponents of both sides with, or expressing these strong sentiments should take a voluntary one month hiatus from the article, and see how the article develops without both sides pushing so hard.

2383:

Maybe Knowledge will eventually have to make a MORAL decision (...MPOV...) instead of fanatically clinging to NPOV, because NPOV opens the door to radicals who do such things as claiming the Holocaust never happened or that it is fine to cut something off of a healthy child's body, be it motivated

2379:

Neutral Point Of View regarding circumcision necessarily means to present the question of whether it is OK to circumcise one's child as a question of personal choice of the parents. Which it is not! I do NOT regard myself biased anti-circ at all when I say that judging from my professional medical

2212:

Yes and you've given priority to all the dubious pro-circumcision medical claims and given no priority to any of the information on the disadvantages of foreskin. I may be a biased editor, but I am a biased editor striving to create an unbiased article. You are a biased editor, and I see nothing

2188:

And since you assert that my opinion on Auvert is completely irrelevant to inclusion in the article despite my ability to point out SPECIFIC methodological failings then that means your opinion on Cold and Taylor is especially irrelevant since you cannot even point out specifics and it's statement

There appears to be some SMALL association that does exist from other evidence, however the difference is completely drown out by other risk factors such as number of partners, contact with sex workers, etc. So put it in perspective ("a small difference"). Definantly not grounds to cut a child's

Longstanding consensus among a bunch of people who currently are holding the article in a pro-circ bias. Fuck longstanding consensus - that's argumentum ad populum ("consensus") and Argumentum ad antiquitatem ("longstanding"). Just becuase you agree on the term doesn't make it NOT a biased term!

1078:

Anyway, this is rather off-topic, so the short answer is that there have only been four studies to investigate the issue (Masters & Johnson 1966, Bleustein et al. 2003, Bleustein et al. 2005, and one other which temporarily escapes me). Bleustein controlled for age and did not find significant

I'm OK with it for now; there may still need to be some minor tweaking on this general point, and other sections of the article do still need attention (not necessarily to correct any bias), but I think that my last edit helps and is certainly magnitudes better than my previous clumsy attempt. In

Jayjg I take your point and (basically) agree, however when I put that quote in it was in an attempt to correct the clear bias inherent in stating that the AMA, et. al. do not recommend routine circumcision without mentioning that neither do they discourage it. The "non-theraputic" qualifier does

There is some leeway for putting some external links that are directly relevant to an article, as long as they do not disturb the balance of the NPOV of the article, and they are sites with verifiable information (not opinion/original research). In this case, in my opinion, the number of external

I have been reading this page with great interest. What I love about pro-circumcision activists like Jakew (an accurate conclusion about him, I took little time in reaching) is that they always love to say things like (paraphrasing) "parents should make an informed choice", "overwhelming evidence

232:

I would tentatively agree, in that I would personally consider the article to still have a mild to moderate bias in that it fails to give due weight to opponents of the practise and their claims of its harmfulness; though I think this can largely be understood more as a failure of conforming to a

Hello again. Since I started this thread yesterday, a lot of nothing new has been said in direction of the strictly formal logical point I was trying to make. So I'm going to reiterate this and urge anyone to stick with the topic of the thread or go elsewhere to talk. Before I get to my argument

2499:

Alright, I read your Wiki-HP, Jakew, and your honesty surprised me. You are stating that you actually went on to influence the Knowledge discussion on circumcision. You state that infant circumcision shouldn't be demonized. Well, I think it should. And you should be a lot more careful about that

1137:

The rules for disqualifying samples from being statistically relevant are well known and well established - i'm sure there is a wikipedia article on them somewhere. If applying established rules constitutes OR then the OR rules need to be looked at. As it is I already think the OR rules give a

1060:

It's an interesting hypothesis, but it seems a rather desperate attempt to cling on to the keratinisation theory - for which there has never been any evidence - in spite of evidence showing it to be more myth than a real-world phenomena. It's a little like watching a devotee of Newtonian gravity

1033:

Thus I suspect if one was to study circumcised versus uncircumcised sensitivity in males in their teens and early twenties I would expect to see a difference. However as these same males approach their 40s and beyond, I suspect their penile sensitivities converge to roughly the same level due to

1022:

It seems to me that the debate on whether circumscision affects penile sensitivity or not is missing an important distinction. In this debate one needs to distinguish between newborn circumcision and adult circumcision. The studies seem to have focussed on adult circumcision and the results are

741:

Bullocks - I suggest you look up the definition of voluntary and then refrain from attempting to belittle people who disagree with you. Circumcision is the only situation still legal in the USA where healthy tissue can be removed from a minor on parental preference. You're right - this article

660:

I don't think that medical benefits is a function of advocacy for circumcision. Medical benefits (and risks) are supposed to be objectively established phenomena that any informed parent (or subject) should be aware of. It's that way with any other medical procedure, from the least controversial

545:

The Bias is primarily from JakeW ramrodding censorship of any and all dissenting information from this article. Furthermore bias is introduced by the lack of comparision information that plays up the benefits of circ - such as EVEN IF EVERY MEDICAL CLAIM WAS TRUE (which several of them ARE NOT)

3089:

If there is content on a web site that is not acceptable on Knowledge, then the web link is not acceptable either. Deleting the whole link section is consistent with Wikpedia policy of not collecting links. This particular article is not an article against circumcision, nor is it one supporting

2757:

Actually, that is the medical organizations that say that. The article should not have any statements based on personal opinion. The AAP, AMA, CMAJ, etc. all say that parents should make the decision. You may disagree with that, but that is the fact from the source, and that is what the article

2527:

the section on "medical benefits" (or however it's phrased right now) completely ignores the negative aspects beyond the actual operation risks - it gives the so-called "positive" long term effects (many of which are based upon dubious research) and completely ignores all the negative long term

1301:

I agree with you JakeW that uncircumcised is not POV. However your style is confrontational. We all recognise that there is a weakness in WP consensus when special interest groups stake out articles. It would be a shame if this article becames another sad example, and you should be awake to the

So, very much unlike what DanBlackham, wants to imply the AMA uses the term "non-therapeutic" in a very limited sense that explicitly excludes religiously-based circumcisions. Any attempt to use this AMA report to imply otherwise would be at best careless, possibly dishonest, and perhaps even

I referenced a report released simultaneously that looked a whole group of studies on the subject that found the results inconsistent (Drawing auvert into doubt statistically) and was stonewalled by Jakew's "well that's a such-and-such study and is of lower quality" (According to whom?) - and

2418:

I'm fighting to stay calm right now. Of course it's you, hiding again behind NPOV. Of course NPOV is vital to Knowledge. Of course it cannot be abandoned without changing the whole idea of what Knowledge is. And there's my point: The entire NOTION of NPOV is flawed, not only within Knowledge!

2400:

If Knowledge ever changed NPOV policy in such a way (abandoning NPOV for 'MPOV'), it would immediately lose any credibility that it had. It would become little more than a platform (often a war-zone) for individuals to rant about their own moral beliefs. It would be wholly inconsistent, often

875:, verifiable and neutral information. And it's failing to do all three. It's showing all the supposed benefits in detail while not covering the criticisms of those studies, not showing the disadvantages in detail, and is generally currently showing a pro-circumcision bias in the article. 3008:

Putting a few relevant links, and maintaining NPOV is fair. However, the information should be in the article. External links that are POV based and more original research don't belong there at all. Four well balanced links is one thing. eighteen citations broken intp three sections is

2375:

Reading through the talk pages, one gets the idea that the major problem is to create a NPOV within this article. But I believe that there may be a typical American problem regarding NPOV. NPOV refers to the idea that everything can be seen from different angles and that, combined with the

Actually if you think about it, the fact that I know these studies well enough to realise when they're being misrepresented is evidence that I do bother to read them, regardless of their position. Now certainly, I'm interested in this number because I think it's illustrative of how these

Then by all means keep watch for such publication. Seems doubtful anyone will precisely rip anyone else to shreds in the world of scholarly publishing though; that's seldom how academics operate. And when they do, their vehemence alone tends to impair their credibility: see the fate of

Amusingly, this poll was conducted by NOHARMM, and participants were recruited from their membership and those of foreskin restoration groups. In other words, it's a poll of male anti-circumcision activists. As for the others, Werker's of mild interest, and may be worth adding to the

because you were a consenting adult. And I urge you to comment at least on this: In my opinion the worst thing about infant circumcision is that it takes away the liberty of choice (that YOU HAD) from an unconsenting baby who MAY resent the decision his parents made.

1370:. I would prefer the term intact to be used, so I'm just pointing out various ways in which "uncircumcised" could be seen as somewhat pov-ish and weaselish. It's ability to used as a disparative is almost certainly where I get my sense of it being weasilish from. 253:- Some use this term in a very imprecise manner, meaning anything from rabidly promoting circumcision, to questioning anti-circ claims, or at another extreme, the entire set of people who are not anti-circ activists. I mean those who actually promote circumcision. 1138:

Thus I argue that if there are any sensistivity differences to be found, one should do research into the hypothesis that it is an *early* effect that wears off with age. My question is: has any such study been carried out? If so please report it in the article.

I think that usage is uncommon (it is listed last) and specifically refers to its usage in Old Testament quotes, where it was used as a disparaging term for non-Jews, just as the clean-shaven Romans used "barbarian" (bearded) as an insulting term for outsiders.

One editor cannot force a POV tag onto an article forever, they are not permanent. You'll never be satisfied with the article unless it reflects your own strong anti-circumcision views, but at some point you have to respect the greater consensus and Knowledge's

I guess it's fortunate that Knowledge is not a propaganda vehicle. We don't have to accept these propaganda sites uncritically. We restrict ourselves to credible, peer-reviewed sources, and avoid misrepresenting them. Thus a credible encyclopaedia is produced.

but to point the reader away from circumcision. But, all in all it is pretty well written, and does present both perspectives sufficiently. (It occurs to me that most of our female editors would probably not have a bias. We should let them edit for NPOV.)

There is a reason I only cite sources that cite evidence. Just because it's an activist website doesn't mean it's wrong - especially when it's citing research. You're a biased editor who cannot keep your bias out of the article, why should I listen to you?

1476:

Do we agree the contraversial issue for neonatal circumcision pro-choice versus banning? I don't see much serious discussion anymore from people proposing more aggressively pro-circumcision positions than pro-choice so I guess this defines the left hand POV?

In the culture section I'd like to see someone add discussion on circumcision technique. For example is there any difference in the quantity of foreskin removed when comparing Jewish, Islamic and secular US circumcision? Are there any technique differences?

This report is confined to circumcisions that are not performed for ritualistic or religious purposes. In this case, the term "non-therapeutic" is synonymous with elective circumcisions that are still commonly performed on newborn males in the United States.

Now, perhaps we could discuss the article? How do you feel about including the above quote from the WHO? Does their emphasis on waiting for the results of the other two trials address your concern about parents rushing out to circumcise their children?

850:. Our role is to provide accurate, verifiable, and neutral information. We cannot be concerned with what people will do with that information - attempting to change society is activism, and is generally incompatible with the goals of the encyclopaedia. 201:. Of course, the policy-violating edits are resisted by editors who actually care about having a neutrally presented, high-quality article, and this may indeed have the effect you mentioned, where anti-circumcision activists get frustrated and leave. 158:

There's no consensus here. There are about three or four editors who hang out around the article keeping it as pro-circumcision as possible, and a steady stream of editors trying to make it more anti-circumcision (most get fed up and leave quickly).

469:

Jake, I understand that is your POV, however the American Medical Association disagrees. The AMA says, "the term 'non-therapeutic' is synonymous with elective circumcisions that are still commonly performed on newborn males in the United States."

2268:(unindenting) Lordkazan, at no time during this entire discussion has JakeW personalized this issue to be about his circumcision. Please address your arguments to the debate, and not the debaters. To do otherwise is argumentum ad hominem, and 2449:

You believe NPOV to be flawed. Ok, fine, go to the appropriate page (I've given you the link already) and argue for it to be changed. But unless and until it is, NPOV is policy and non-negotiable, so you're wasting your time arguing against it

2924:

that doesn't mean that information doesn't belong in the article Jakew - you cannot roadblock information that showsa circ to be unneeded but continue to insert information that suggests that it is. This article isn't your personal property.

774:

And Auvert's study is the first of these trials to report results. That is why organisations like the CDC, the WHO, UNAIDS are paying so much attention to it: because it isn't just another observational study, it's hard experimental evidence.

I've removed it, along with the "Sexually Mutilated Child" link. The topic is controverisal enough, and there are lots of good links here already; we're sticking only to top quality links, as has been discussed here many times in the past.

Quite agree. Facts exist independently of those arguing for or against. Advocates on both sides may use (or abuse) them, and this may in some cases be worthy of inclusion in the relevant articles. However, to decide to discuss such facts

I know that this article is always controversial, and so I am discussing the topic here first, so that we can come to consensus, or at least try to.

1226:

On further thought I definantly think "uncircumcised" is some what a weasel word. "un-" has a subconcious implication with many that it is the opposite of the normal state, in this case that couldn't be further from the truth.

804:

The study in question that came out at the same time as Auvert is NEWER - you cannot dismiss a study just because of it's classification of type of study and you dislike it's result. (BTW thanks for the link fix on my userpage)

266:

Or, to put it more simply, the people LW labels as "pro-circumcision" believe the article should present both sides of the issue, and are satisified with an article that does so. The anti-circumcision group do not, and are not.

2554:

studies of penis anatomy. And while some of those things do seem to come from credible sources (like the supposed claim UTIs is reduced), just because a source is realiable doesn't mean it's infallaible - like Auvert.

The balanitis section makes reference to some of the alternative treatments. I never said this should be an exhaustive list, it should just make notable reference to the fact that circumcision is not the only treatment

Even if the figure were 85%, having an uncircumcised penis does not mean that a person has anti-circumcision views. You might as well claim that most Scandinavians are Nazis because they have blond hair and blue eyes.

And please don't forget the reason John Harvey Kellogg established the whole thing. He also "treated" the clitoris of young girls with acid! And you DO NOT claim that there is any kind of NPOV about THAT, or do you?

What I love about pro-circumcision activists like Jakew (an accurate conclusion about him, I took little time in reaching) is that they always love to say things like (paraphrasing) "parents should make an informed

Of course everyone has some bias. That's why all facts need to be presented, without preference. We've seen repeated attempts by some anti-circumcision advocates to minimize, or even eliminate, opposing arguments.

3043:

I sympathize. I don't have a desire to step on anyones toes. The goal is a well written article. We need to pull pertinent and relevant content from the web links and into the article, and properly cite them.

2106:

Yes, it's cited honestly, representing the opinions they express, but without endorsing those opinions, without misrepresenting them as fact, and certainly without exaggerating them. That seems reasonable enough.

I can believe this because in adults the glans of the penis keratises and loses sensitivity with age anyhow. Also in adults the glans has had more exposure to friction throughout its lifetime.
