Yes, you are right. wiki articles are intended to be approachable by a general audience. We need to work on addressing this issue. Thanks for bringing this up. Chaldor (talk) 19:39, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Follicular and luteal phase length variation

The recently added (and reverted) comment, "length of follicular phase is more variable than the luteal phase so the length of the menstural cycle in days minus 14 gives the most likely day of ovulation is true. The length of the follicular phase can vary by many weeks - it is more variable than the luteal phase. And subtracting 14 days from menstruation is a more accurate estimate of ovulation than assuming ovulation on day 14 of the cycle. Nevertheless, a luteal phase is considered normal anywhere from 10-16 days, so even retrospective day-counting estimations are frequently going to be off by several days.

I support the removal of the sentence, because it's not useful in the context of that paragraph. Sources could easily be found to support its assertions, but that wouldn't make it any more relevant to this article. Lyrl ^Talk _C 01:17, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Mature Graffian follicle.jpg

Image:Mature Graffian follicle.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
