picture?

Is such an eh, *cough* gay *cough* picture required? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.70.123.180 (talk) 22:13, 26 April 2007 (UTC).

I agree. I'm going to delete it right now.

Apparently someone put the picture back. I know wikipedia should not be censored from disturbing pictures in general, but in this case it's absolutely unnecessary and doesn't help the reader understand what a bite is. It appears as if a bite means "sadism by many naked men in hell". For those reasons, I'm removing it again. SuperMidget (talk) 12:56, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Scorpions?

Why are scorpions mentioned in an article dedicated to biting? A scorpion injects toxins via its stinger rather than through its bite. Wouldn't that merit relocation to an article on stings?

Inappropriate Example

The statement, "This could happen if a female bites too hard during oral sex," is inappropriate for a number of reasons: The other bullets in that section do not give examples (good, bad, or indifferent). Doing so in this case lacks parallelism and is poor style. The statement is missing a period at the end. The statement blithely introduces a "female" without explanation or preface although many forms of oral sex do not involve a woman. Finally, the sexual nature of the comment is unwarranted and unrelated to the scope of the article. 74.140.112.243 02:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)RedFez

what's innapropriate is that picture

Yeah thats true

Sexual nature of biting

I'd like to see Wikipedia cover the sexual nature of biting a bit better. The current page seems scoped to biting as an animal defensive behavior, and as a part of early childhood. But there is much more to biting. I'm dumping this on the talk page to give controversy a bit of time to settle before putting it on the article page.

Here are some tables from Gebhard, Paul H. (1979). The Kinsey Data: Marginal Tabulations of the 1938-1963 Interviews. Philadelphia: W.B. Saunders Company. {{cite book}}: Unknown parameter |coauthors= ignored (|author= suggested) (help) They sort of go along with the data at Kinsey Reports#Biting but really it seems to make more sense that they go in the Biting page rather than the Kinsey page, since the latter should not be an attempt to reproduce all data from those reports.

Bite (Car Mechanics)

im looking for car terms for my concepts of technology class.. I searched for bite and it gave me a wound.. can you help me out by sending me a car term please.. email address is hardcoreemu23@aol.com

I've heard of people getting run down by cars, but I've never heard of anyone getting bitten by one. What part of a car is its bite? Smerdis of Tlön 17:33, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

References needed

"In Eastern European folklore, ..." This quote seems a little NPOV to me. Please provide references.

Biting mechanic?

Strangely the article does not contain anything about mechanic of a bite and how is it performed. Needed more info about the act of biting rather than wound. I mean, it's also a verb, not just the noun. 213.7.110.237 (talk) 20:21, 1 April 2008 (UTC)zondartul

Let me also say something

I must say something! Here is the thing: I hate the fact that people bite each other as part of sexual petting. Doing such a thing to each other to show affection is wrong.--User:Fangusu^{(User_talk:Fangusu)} 13:13,6 June 2008 (UTC)

This is your personal opinion. You have every right to have this opinion, but you cannot keep removing the information about it because you don't like it. Wikipedia is for accurate, verifiable information. Regardless of your personal opinion, this information is both accurate and verifiable, and changing something true to something untrue is vandalism. Do not remove this or any other accurate, verifiable, notable information in the future, from this or any other article, unless there is a consensus among the other editors who have discussed it. --Icarus ^(Hi!) 08:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Legal liability for pet bites

Is there an article (or section) anywhere on the legal liability aspects of bites by pets anywhere in Wikipedia? H Padleckas (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

OK, I found Dog attack. H Padleckas (talk) 09:46, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Change Picture

Can we change the current picture to one that accents the dog's teeth more than their extremely huge eyes? Thanks. --vgmddg (look | talk | do) 20:23, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Il second that! That picture is more distracting than informative.... I'm Flightx52 and I approve this message 01:38, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Animal Behaviour: Biting

Animal Behaviour: Biting is a content fork of this article that focuses on some specific aspects of animal bites. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:56, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

• Support merge. It was the second thing that came into my mind after seeing that article (the first was, that's gonna have to be moved to a less unwieldy title...) This is a well-meaning but overly WP:SYNTH WikiEd production that duplicates a lot of existing content and drags in some stuff that is largely unrelated (e.g. the mosquito sectiob - it's not even a "bite" in the technical sense of the word). Prune and merge the rest here. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:53, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
• Support merge. Common sense. The two are duplicative... Veryproicelandic (talk) 22:21, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
