The latest of the diagrams I’ve saved from old books and put on Wikipedia, as a break from more important things:

Breech and face positions of the foetus before birth. From “Handbook of Obstetric Nursing”, 1902, by Haultain and Ferguson. On Wikimedia Commons here.

Adult human female skeleton, standing, with outline of external body. I uploaded this because anatomy diagrams often assume the human body defaults to male.

From A Handbook of Obstetric Nursing, Haultain and Ferguson, 1902. Colour added by me. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Haultain_and_Ferguson_-_female_skeleton_coloured.svg

Something I've wanted to do for a while: You know those sites where you can fill in which states/counties/whatever you've visited? I'd like to generalise that. You could zoom to a particular area and it would say "counties of Wales" or "police force areas of Wales" or "wards of Salford" or whatever. Then when you chose one you could colour the regions in as you wished, and make a key. And then you could save them as SVG or PNG, both with enough metadata that you could reload them back into the site and get your editable state back. Some sort of integration with Wikimedia Commons would be nice too. What do you think?

(You needn't bother actually going there; what amuses me is that someone saw a need for such a specific category to exist.)

Also, even granted the gender binary, why is there no Category:Nude_male_on,_in_or_next_to_tree ? Maybe we need to upload lots of naked-bloke-in-a-tree pictures.

Most of what I do on Wikipedia is reverting vandalism, so I don't want to introduce any more of it. But sometimes I daydream:
