[edit] Research?
Why limit farting (first paragraph) to mammals? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.214.9.247 (talk) 10:37, 10 May 2008 (UTC) Citation #3 states that a grand total of nine individuals were sampled in their 'study'. It's highly probable those those nine individuals were not representative of Earth's population, or even if they were, percentages of world don't always come out to 11% increments. Is there a better source that could be used?LeeRamsey (talk) 02:48, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Just Wondering...
Did the original author manage to keep a straight face while writing this?

[edit] Archiving
This page is 116 KB (18541 words) long. Because of possible technical issues, I think we should archive this page. I'd use the cut and paste method, leaving the three most recent threads here. Puchiko (Talk-email) 17:33, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- As there were no objections, I have archived the talk page. Puchiko (Talk-email) 22:38, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Nontechnical references
Should they really be separate? It makes it difficult to cite a nontechnical resource; you have to go down and add it yourself instead of just using a ref tag (which will add it to the 'regular' reflist - unless there's a property of the ref tag of which I'm unaware that can specify it as nontechnical, in which case please enlighten me and call me a ninny). --Dbutler1986 (talk) 04:34, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Performance art
This section seems relevant and integrated enough to me. 'Trivia' like this is often listed or mentioned in articles with a section relating to references in popular culture, which is what this amounts to. I think the template should be removed. --Dbutler1986 (talk) 04:43, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Could anyone please tell me more about this bulgarian fart contest? I'm interested in this story. I would namely like to know if this Maria Doychinova is the same one who is a fashion designer. Thank you. My e-mail: figueira.ric@gmail.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.220.42.31 (talk) 22:06, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Physical Posture/Exercises
Information on physical postures/exercises to aid the release of uncomfortable intestinal gases may be enlightening for the article under the remedies section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.192.71 (talk) 21:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Cultures
I think giving specific details about which cultures find farting acceptable and which ones don't should be added. ACDCPres 02:11, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Farting
I reverted this article back to a recent version that contained the term fart. Wikipedia is a general encyclopedia (not a medical one), and its important to use a term that a majority of people know. Flatulence is no more or less a "proper" term than farting is, and its definetly not slang -- its use is too common, everyday, and widespread. It would be a misservice the readers to simply ignore this important term. Its such a odd thing to want to sensor. Ehlkej (talk) 21:35, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
