2013 comment[edit]
It could be noted that kneeling is not a biomechanical natural position and extended kneeling could lead to bursitis (housemaids or clergyman's knee) among other complications. It has also been known to cause chondromalacia patella. A disorder that destroys the articular cartilage either on the back of the patella or on the trochlear groove. Neither are easily repairable. There have been a number of lawsuits garnered against the military by veterans who claim chondromalcia patella and subsequent disability as a direct cause of extended kneeling and/or crawling on hard surfaces while in the military. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:5b0:26ff:1ef0::3b (talk • contribs) 02:49, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Use of scantily clad women in image gallery[edit]
The only reason why skimpily clad women feature heavily in the image gallery is so feet, legs, knee positions are not obscured by clothing. Yes a better gender balance would be preferable but not essential. There is a bigger selection of women kneeling in the Wikipedia image store than men. Many images in the image store show people with loose clothing which cannot be used as feet, leg and knee positions are obscured.--Penbat (talk) 21:39, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
- Do we really need five images per variant? WP:NOTCENSORED certainly applies to articles where partial or full nudity is very relevant, (i.e., articles about body parts, nudism, etc), but having three provocative images in an article about kneeling seems silly.

- I can see that 5 images in the "Two knees – vertical kneel" image gallery section is unnecessary but 5 images works well for the other 3 sections and aesthetically it is best to be consistent. You are welcome to look for less sexually provocative images by working through the Wikipedia image store on kneeling see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Kneeling_people but beware loose clothing may obscure important detail. --Penbat (talk) 15:56, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
