Wording
[change source]It seems like the victim forces the attacker into having intercourse with him/her. Could anybody fix this?
-- perhaps a course of counselling? Seriously, though - made some changes. Needs some work but clearer at least.
Several pages deleted
[change source]It seems that a large portion of this page, along with related pages (such as sexual assault and rape kit have been removed from the system. Also, my account (which I had used to edit these pages a few days ago) was also deleted - I reestablished the account with the same information. Does anyone know what is going on?

- That's odd, there is no record whatsoever of anything like that having been deleted from the system. If there were, I would be able to see it, as an admin. Also, what was the name of the account you say was "deleted"? Blockinblox 02:51, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hmmm, perhaps you are lost. It looks like you were editing here the other day. This is an entirely different wiki. Welcome to Simple! Blockinblox 03:01, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Fixing this page
[change source]Hello, yes I know that the page as it is now, is probably too complex. It will not be easy to make it simpler. When this page is done (possibly turned into a VGA), it should be possible to answer the following questions, using it alone:
- What is rape? (If a 14 year old has sex with a 17 year old, consenting, this may be legal. if the partner of the 14 year old is 20, it may be illegal; We need to work out the difference between sexual intercourse with an unwilling partner, from sexual intercourse with a partner unable to consent (because of age, etc); Interesting question: If the 14 and the 17 year old do bondage, is it rape? ;) )
- Who can help, in the case of rape; what should be done
- Who is affected by rape (various statistics)
- Different forms of rape
- Effects of rape (to the victim..)
Well, just ideas. --Eptalon 18:52, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Remove pic
[change source]The pic is one that was painted to titillate male viewers. It doesn't belong in the article. Let's get rid of it. Oregonian2012 (talk) 23:17, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
Question on facts
[change source]I was looking at some of the (admittedly US-centric) sources on the article, and noticed that they are referencing studies that have been effectively debunked (1-in-5, rape culture, etc). I know that articles like this tend to have a certain viewpoint, so I wanted to leave a notice here that I intend on updating and replacing the poor sources with ones that have more up-to-date and correct information. If anyone has a problem with me doing that, please feel free to speak out so we can come to a consensus. Lithorien Talk • Changes 14:17, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
More content, less statistics?
[change source]Hello, I think this article needs work, at the moment most of the article is abput statistics, per country. What we need would be more of the following:
- After someone is raped, in what ways are they usually treated.I think there may be time-limits, after being raped, treatment should start sooner rather than later.
- Are there organizations that help the victims. What does this help usually look like?
I think such information is much more helpful than a collection of statistics. Eptalon (talk) 11:20, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
