Occipital ridge

I find it shocking that this has been tagged as unsourced for 16 years! Please add reliable sources. Bearian (talk) 16:35, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

16 years! I thought that would be some kind of record but truly that's only 2009. How time flies.... Turns out this is a synonym so I have redirected to another article. Tom (LT) (talk) 05:41, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rectosigmoid sphincter

I've created the article rectosigmoid sphincter (previously Sphincter of O'Beirne), based on a number of medical papers that mention it (see the many cites in the article for details).

However, I can't see it on any lists of standard anatomical terms; I'm wondering whether this should be merged into a new rectosigmoid junction article where the whole matter can be gone into in more detail (does it exist, if so is it a true sphincter or a functional sphincter - and so on).

I'm not a medical professional, so can someone knowledgeable please review it (and check its citations)? Also, if it does exist. is it significant enough to add to the {{Gastrointestinal tract}} template? — The Anome (talk) 14:09, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
