"Multilobar" is incorrect. It should say "multilobular". 2001:1970:5CDB:F900:F006:B3AC:20D0:7E5C (talk) 02:47, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: It is multilobar: having multiple lobes. "Multilobular" is having multiple lobules. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 23:47, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about human kidneys specifically, but is simply titled Kidney. This title is counterintuitive and somewhat misleading, but was still not changed after this discussion.

If Wikipedia's article about the human brain followed this naming convention, it would be titled Brain and the article about non-human brains would be titled Brain (animals) instead of Brain. Jarble (talk) 15:58, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It would be very nice to have 3D model of the Kidney, so that people can explore it from thier prefered angle; I uploaded this one. But it was not accepted what would need to be changed/updated about the model before it would be acceptable for the article?

Hi; I've tagged this article with the AI generated template as I believe Parker.Josh's edits (from earlier this year) are AI; on other articles they have done things like leave in chatbot responses in diffs, and their text also contains other less blatant signs of LLM use. Thus all of their additions here also need review for accuracy, hallucinations, source-to-text integrity, and synthesis/editorializing. I am not a subject matter expert here so this review should probably be done by someone who is. Gnomingstuff (talk) 20:45, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
