Rudd103 02:52, 08 June 2006(UTC) I am aware that the Anal canal is differentiated from the rectum, but if this is all there is to this article, would it be out of place in the Rectum article?

I'd recommend keeping them separated. --Arcadian 17:22, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It could be part of the article on the anus. In common usage the anus ("ring") would appear to include the canal. A-giau 05:45, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. There is no reason however that some of the information here could be copy/pasted into anus article still be kept here as well. JakobSteenberg (talk) 22:15, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done no consensus to merge. --Tom (LT) (talk) 04:59, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

better illustration needed[edit]

The main illustration is confusing. Is everything shown part of the Anal Canal proper? It would be helpful to have an illustration that included more of the surrounding anatomical context, and very clearly bracketed the extent of the Anal Canal itself. Or, if the Anal Canal is indeed just a small part of the current illustration, it needs to be much better graphically bracketed and labelled.-71.174.175.150 (talk) 14:55, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks IP 71.174.175.150. I've tried to find one but I can't find any suitably anatomical. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can contribute to, so I'd encourage you to create an account and have a look yourself too. --Tom (LT) (talk) 04:59, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done naturally the next article I look at had a better image, which I've included. --Tom (LT) (talk) 05:04, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

PII in edit history?[edit]

Somebody seems to have added a phone number in the edit history, is it possible to scrub the phone number from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anal_canal&oldid=1090004017 ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smallangryplanet (talk • contribs) 20:39, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
