Indian subcontinent section
[edit]I removed this edit: [1] as a potential copyvio. I have now come to the conclusion that, in fact, the book that publishes this text on the Internet probably contains unattributed copying from Wikipedia and as such there is no copyvio from that source. The edit does fall foul of WP:COPYWITHIN. It is copied from page history of another article on Wikipedia without attribution. It also had some other issues (not least that one statement had 40... yes, 40, sources cited. See WP:OVERCITE). As a copywithin, the text was not well suited to this page so please do not put it back in without discussion and a consensus here. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:06, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- This portion seems to be back. The incredible number of citations caught my eye. 192.80.99.212 (talk) 05:56, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I have removed it again. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:25, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
Degrees of castration
[edit]I see that some sections (China, Viet nam, Egypt… barely, Byzantine) make explicit reference to the penis getting cut (emasculation), but others do not currently mention whether we are dealing with testicles or the whole shebang.
One medical source https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/84/12/4324/2864451 uses a castrati/spadones/thlibiae classification following a certain Penzer (1936). I doubt the terminology is good enough, especially considering "castrati" has a different meaning in later times. Artoria2e5 🌉 11:24, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
