message: What exactly does Rossi say about humour and sexual desire?  The wording is ambiguous and I think the foot fetishism is a reasonable inclusion.  Frankly, I think sexual desire + feet = Foot fetishism.  I'd really like to clear up the humour point, as I don't really see it.  I have never heard of a consistent joke about feet and I think the current wording is vague enough to want some clarity.  WLU 20:22, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I reverted back to the wording before Anon re-added, and re-edited to try to make it clearer.  The article doesn't refer to 'some cultures', it refers to the Middle East and the West.  By adding the 'some', the point becomes more vague and weaselly and less clear.  Further, I doubt the sole is only tickled or fetishized in the West, and without greater detail on what the Rossi book says, the second bullet is almost pointless.  The sole is probably tickled across the world.  And without further clarification, I don't see how the sensitivity of the foot makes it humorous - tickling is not the same thing as making a joke, even though both might make you laugh.

replies: text: Did you look at the source before you edited the article?  It seems, from your discussion above, that you did not.  Please advise if I am mistaken.  Bullet point lists are to be avoided if the section can be written in full text form, and it looks rather odd that it's in list format.  Anyway, I'll be getting around to this article eventually, amongst other anatomical articles, after I work on head and foot some more.  I guess that will include looking at that Rossi article (or whatever it is).  That photo has got to go.  It is absolutely hideous. Larry Dunn 12:58, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, a better public domain picture than the one currently in the article or the one the rather tendentious IP editor keeps trying to add would be helpful.--Isotope23 talk 13:03, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My point, that I made above, was that I did not know what was in the Rossi text, and asked the anon who added the info, to clarify, which they never did.  Feel free to change the picture, I wouldn't mind it being posted on the talk page first as I still think the current picture is a good one because of it's disembodiment.  Commons has many pictures of feet, including some soles here.  Aesthetically, I kinda link :Image:Healthy feet.JPG, though I would also suggest :Image:MySole.jpg, or :Image:Bottom of feet.jpg is OK too.  And :Image:Adult and infant feet compqared.jpg has the cute factor.  As long as it's not that awful one with the girl's head in the background.  WLU 13:34, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's more appropriate to check the source yourself rather than reverting sourced text because you haven't looked at it.  That's why people provide sources, so that you can look at them -- not so that you can quiz them on it. Larry Dunn 13:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Image-wise, I personally think that :Image:Bottom of feet.jpg is not a good choice. It looks very staged, and the fact that the legs are bare seems not quite right for Wikipedia. :Image:MySole.jpg, however, seems good to me. TheIslander 14:42, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And MySole doesn't look staged? :)  I'm fine with either one, but MySole would be my preference as well - less distracting background and less disembodied than the current one.  Larry?  WLU 14:54, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, I suppose 'staged' isn't really the right word. I'm not really sure how to explain it - it just doesn't feel right. Regardless, glad we agree to some degree :) TheIslander 15:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Image:MySole.jpg is probably a good choice for an image.--Isotope23 talk 14:45, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess the page is locked? I'll leave a note for Larry to ask for his opinion on this. WLU 16:01, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think either of them really works, to be honest, but I'm not really focusing on this article now, as the sole of the foot is a sub-part of the anatomy, and I'm trying to do the work on the basic appendages first. FWIW, I'd suggest an image somewhat less disembodied. Larry Dunn 19:30, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally, I more prefer the disembodied image as it actually focuses on the part itself.  So far every image I've seen where there is an individual where you can see their legs or whole body and their soles are prominent in the picture has looked, for lack of a better term, silly.--Isotope23 talk 19:39, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

text: I see MySole as a nice compromise - mostly soles, but connected to legs, but against a black background.  I'm pleased to see it up on the page.  WLU 00:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The section that lists the muscles contained in each plantar compartment needs to be reworked.
For example, the muscles of the lateral compartment are included with those in the medial compartment, and, muscles on the dorsum of the foot are included in the lateral compartment.
