message: A previous edit mentions the "highly disturbing picture which does not need to be on top". I agree that the image is highly disturbing - perhaps it should be made even less prominent somehow? Haukur (talk) 23:49, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I also agree; I don't know whether the pictures are less prominent than when these comments were posted, but they are very graphic, and still visible in the main page of the article. Many of the people visiting this page will probably be in a vulnerable state - family and friends of family of an infant with a diagnosis. Some of them will probably find the images (especially the abdominal autopsy) very disturbing indeed. Wikipedia doesn't provide an option for linking to these images (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Graphical_content_problem and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Graphic_and_potentially_disturbing_images).
I also doubt whether the pictures are adding that much value to the article. As a layperson, I didn't really gain anything from them at all. What is their value to the layperson supposed to be? If their value is more for someone with medical training, then isn't this something that's available elsewhere where the risk of upsetting people is lower?
I'm strongly considering deleting the image, as Wikipedia doesn't appear to provide any less drastic options. Is there a less potentially upsetting image that might illustrate the article just as well?Nickboyd.n (talk) 11:59, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

text: I agree it's disturbing, but am surprised that there isn't a single mention of "Wikipedia doesn't censor" anywhere in this discussion..  
Doesn't WP have a "click to view image" template?  It looks like there used to be a "DisturbingImage" template, but it was deleted..  I'm guessing because someone doesn't know the difference between "I am being a God saying you cannot see certain stuff" and "You have been warned, if you really want to see it, click here..".  These arguments drive me up the wall when I see them.  There is a big difference between censorship and choice. Jimw338 (talk) 04:32, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

message: I have removed the unsourced sentence "It is not known, however, whether some underlying pathology contributes to premature birth and low birth weight" from the diagnosis section. I think some reliable source is needed that this possibility is under serious consideration as a cause of NEC, as opposed to generic speculation. Recent evidence of a strong association of NEC with non-human milk feeding suggests otherwise.--agr (talk) 15:45, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
