[edit] Facial surgery is a simple procedure that can be completed with as little as a butter knife and some towels.

uhm, what?..removed unless someone can explain this. InformationOverload 20:26, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anatomy Concerns

Someone marked this as too technical. What, specifically, seems to be the problem? The anatomy terms? --ScottEllsworth 08:03, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

it's not understandable by someone unfamiliar with all this technical stuff. "it runs a tortuous course to near the angle of the mouth" that's only one example - Stoph 06:25, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

That has to be the single creepiest illustration on all Wikipedia. Philwelch 05:39, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Anatomy

I have added two diagrams to help other readers and editors of this article understand the anatomy terms and the general anatomy of the face. I have also added other information, and am quite encouraged to work on this article over the next few weeks to prepare it for featured article status. I think it deserves to win its current COTW nomination. Wackymacs 20:06, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Face Size

I'd like to see some information about average human face size ( width and height ). I looked all over the internet for the information and couldn't find it. It's not in the head or skull article either.

[edit] Why are there only female faces?

Seems not quite right...

I'll go a step further: why are there only white, female faces? And why do we need three of them? Dyfsunctional 17:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

there aren't only white female's faces. I even went so far as to add a smiley faceHostile Hams 22:37, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Davelaw 00 has decided to vandalize this page and I'm going to fix it. I don't know how to report people for that or whatever, so the most i can do is fix it.

--CCPT 03:30, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I've renamed this section of the talk page. I also think a link to something as weird and obscure as "Chinface" on the "Face" page is inappropriate (bordering on vandalism itself), so I'm removing it. gohlkus (talk) 06:52, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] anatomy term

whats the thing called between your nose and your upper lip? the little concave vertical strip? could this be included? - Jack (talk) 15:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

It's called a philtrum.--Tregonsee 23:05, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Health section

The health section say that you use soap when clean face. Is it true? Should you use soap to clean face? What kind of soap? should it be perfume free? should it have pH value? what about alcohol solutions?

[edit] Desmond Tutu

Why is Desmond Tutu's face here?

I have the same question. Looks like someone wanted a black guy's face, but why use that of a well-known figure? It's distracting. 70.21.236.100 04:15, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I would not say he has a typical face. and no, that's not because he is black...

[edit] Face and emotion

I'd like to see a section on the importance of the face in body language and displays of emotion, such as facial expressions...--Tiberius47 07:45, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup?

It's my opinion that this article is quite badly written, but I don't want to just barge in and label it as needing cleanup, so I'm expressing my opinion here. Perhaps someone with more "authority" (i.e. a more experienced, active contributor) might want to add it to a Project or something? 3DS Mike

[edit] More Vandalism

"CCHHEESSEE" I'm not sure what the full version of this article consisted of. It should be revised and watched.

[edit] Question on the Face

I've heard of rings developing on the face under the eyes. Usually it happens by not enough sleep, but one of my friends has had this since the day he was born. Is this unusual? Also what would be the name of developing rings under your eyes? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.183.185.108 (talk) 01:18, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] i think this is not good...

The face has widely been seen as a right of power and precision. If your face has strong features such as a prominent chin and high cheekbones, you presence would most likely command respect.

In some countries 'face' can also be a form of offence toward other peer members. It's used a short term for saying that one's face is unsightly in public and may cause pupil dilatation and hostile activities within the surrounding area. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.45.211.53 (talk) 11:12, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stubes

My godness this article is small, make more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.1.106.16 (talk) 09:34, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
