Exactly my point. The English language has its own traditions on how to organize information - that does not mean, however, that we exclude information or not follow NPOV.
I don't think it should be orientated toward the English-speaking *culture*, if there even is such a thing. That would be inherently POV.
I agree.

I agree. That is why we do need to present the penis with which a baby born and grew up, if not modified, as a "penis". Not as an "uncircumsed penis".
First label (penis) is oriented toward "english language". Second label (uncircumsed penis) is oriented toward "english culture" (ie, meant to fit with the number of circumsised people in english culture).
English language, not english culture. That was precisely my point as well :-)
