You know damn well this picture doesnt add anything to the article, its all about seeing what you can get away with and about testing the limits of wikipedia. Do everyone a favor and cut the act, you know as well as I do the image is of very dubious encyclopedic value, and is just there for its "shock value", not that i'm that easily shocked but I think the pro-picture people here are really immature.

What you are doing is just another form of vandalism, and I am asking you nicely to stop. If you fail to do so I'm sure there are some admins who will agree with me that this is hardly more than abusing the right to edit articles. Do not re-insert the image.

I am thinking of merging this article and Meconium aspiration syndrome. Any objections? Any ideas which should be merged into which? Joyous 23:32, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC)


Image

That image is just....wow. I think it should be removed.

That picture is disgusting, only some sort of baby poop pervert would want to look at it. I got chunks in my throat. I removed it. If you like it, you can look at it all you want, just download it. Floopy 3 July 2005 23:07 (UTC)

I'm not a "baby poop pervert" but I managed to hold my lunch while looking at it. From the picture, it's clearly quite different from normal human feces, so the picture is useful. You don't have to look at it if you don't want to. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 3 July 2005 23:40 (UTC)

Sorry about removing the image before. I was reinstating all the other "filthy" images that Floopy deleted, but had a knee-jerk reaction against this image. Having thought about it, and in line with my opinion on the other images, I of course recognise that there's nothing wrong with having this image included in the article. Jez 4 July 2005 00:27 (UTC)

Reversal of merger

Meconium is a substance. MAS is a syndrome caused when infants accidentally inhale that substance. Meconium is a normal part of every birth; MAS is an unfortunate syndrome which occurs in some births. We should not place together a normal and healthy bodily substance with an abnormal and dangerous medical condition which involves that substance. Even if at the moment, there is not much information on the two individually, in the future someone might want to put more info on meconium in the substance article, and more info on MAS in the syndrome article. Detailed information on meconium (e.g. studies of its constituents) nor does info on meconium in non-human species (excluding vetinary cases of MAS) does not really belong in the MAS article. Likewise, detailed info on MAS (epidemeology, new treatments, whatever) would not belong in te meconium article. --- samuel katinsky

Just like the debate on the feces page.

It is unwise to call this "vandalism". You will not be taken seriously if you start shouting at a strawman. Your personal attack is also not appreciated. JFW | T@lk 14:24, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
