why has this been tagged as confusing? Someone tagged it and didn't explain themselves on the talk page. A little guidance would be nice. i just looked over it and its fine, its in keeping with the other anatomy pages and makes sense in terms of anatomy. I added the bit on the levator ani being the "tail-wagging" muscle in animals, but see Talk:Coccygeus muscle. There may be reason to at least make mention of that muscle as well, though the relationship is not yet clear from the sources I've found. Iskunk (talk) 08:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's lasted nine years and is somewhat humourous. Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 12:07, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's unclear how the 'Tendinous arch of levator ani' which redirects here actually fits into the 'Levator ani'. Are they the same thing (in which case this should be stated) or is one simply a part of the other? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.32.161.148 (talk) 17:48, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Iliococcygeus muscle

Page is a small stub and is a part of Levator ani better presented as subtopic Iztwoz (talk) 19:32, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support I arrived here about to propose this merge myself. It's confusing and unnecessary to have four separate articles on piees of the levator ani. By having them all as one article, we help readers by providing more context to what they're reading and reducing needless fragmentation. --Tom (LT) (talk) 01:02, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Pubococcygeus muscle

Fix merged content

This article was merged with two others in this edit in 2017. However, the merged content was copy-pasted into the Pubococcygeus and Puborectalis sections in the middle of the article (with the infoboxes), and not merged with existing sections. The resulting layout of the article is confusing, with the structure and function of different muscles being described all over the place. Hopefully someone with more knowledge about the subject matter would be able to clean this up. –Sonicwave ^talk 22:17, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Possible inaccurate image

The image described "3D medical illustration presenting Levator ani" seems to have the labels for the Pubococcygeus and Puborectalis muscles swapped, but I don't have the experience to know this for certain. I am only basing this conclusion off of the descriptions in the article and a quick look at some other diagrams. Could someone confirm or deny this?--PNDB (talk) 18:47, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
