As noted on the folliculogenesis discussion page, the top figure, structure of an ovary: the labels are incorrect and this picture needs to be replaced or edited.

French pictures
Are we really going to have "Pre-antral follicle" and "Graafian follicles" as a picture gallery? They are in French. They are not very informative to people unfamiliar with that langauage. Furthermore, the pictures that exist are pretty informative already on that point.

Correcting description of oocyte
@Doc James: "Oocyte" is described accurately in the intro, but in the structure section it says: "Once a month, one of the ovaries releases a mature egg, known as an oocyte." It should say, "a mature egg (ovum)." Hildabast (talk) 19:05, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Follicle Count Inaccuracy
There cannot be 400,000 follicles in the ovaries as this would make the ovaries combined size 10 meters in diameter given that a primordial follicle is 25μm in diameter. (400,00 * 25μm)⇒1x10^7μm; (1x10^7μm ÷ 1,000)⇒10,000mm; (10,000mm ÷ 1,000) ⇒ 10m. Wikipedia's page on folliclegenesis references the size of a primordial follicle being even larger at 30-50μm (measured in partial millimeters), which would yield a combined ovary diameter of 12-20 meters in diameter. A micrometer is one millionth of a meter or one thousandth of a millimeter which is one thousandth of a meter. A meter is 3.28084 feet. An ovary is reported as 3-5cm in length and this count would require the each ovary to be ~2.2ft in length if an ovary were the same length on all sides.
