	While Wikipedia may profess to write from a neutral point of view (NPOV), the use of adamantly pro-circumcision editors, their selection of so many sources biased in favor of circumcision, and their omission of most of the [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions\| functions of the foreskin]] drags the neutral point over into a pro-circumcision biased position.

			** His pseudonym [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jayjg Jayjg] (whose symbol is a blue jay) is currently charged with maintaining the pro-circumcision bias. His page lists an extensive list of his accomplishments and awards, indicating that he is a high muck-a-muck at Wikipedia.

	: Male circumcision has a substantial list of harms, complications, disadvantages, and drawbacks, however Jake apparently wanted these to be minimized while the alleged advantages were emphasized. This put him into conflict with others who wanted the whole story to be told. As a result, there were a huge number of revisions to the articles associated with male circumcision until 18 June 2012,<ref name="circhistory2001" /> when Jake resigned from editing.		: Male circumcision has a substantial list of harms, complications, disadvantages, and drawbacks, however Jake apparently wanted these to be minimized while the alleged advantages were emphasized.
