contest Im 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 email figueiraricgmailcom  Preceding unsigned comment added by      Physical PostureExercises  Information on physical posturesexercises to aid the release of uncomfortable intestinal gases may be enlightening for the article under the remedies section  Preceding unsigned comment added by      Research Why limit farting first paragraph to mammals   Preceding unsigned comment added by      Cultures I think giving specific details about which cultures find farting acceptable and which ones dont should be added ACDCPres    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    I agree Why use the word flatus all over the place People dont know its fart Doctors know its fart and well doctors are people but they aint most people The common term is fart or gas        The reason seems pretty obvious to me fart is a much rougher less refined word Using it casually is simply not appropriate tone for an encyclopedia       Citations needed   Oh come on not EVERY sentence needs a citation now does it It makes articles really hard to read and is just silly I am talking about the section Dietary where every second word has a citation or citation needed Whoever posted all that is obsessed with citations seriously   I agree especially since the rest of the article doesnt seem to conform to the extreme citation standards in the Dietary section Additionally some of the stuff is a given and doesnt really need a citation unless you happen to be an alien from another planet who is completely unfamiliar with Earth in which case it remains a mystery how this alien learned enough english to understand this article without learning some basic information about humans and Earth Not everyone is a wikipedia administrator yknow        ICD infobox   Why is this article topped by a medical infobox In the vast majority of occurances flatulence has nothing to do with either disease or dysfunction       Post release   In  Chester Buck Weimer of Pueblo Colorado USA received a patent for the first undergarment that contained a replaceable charcoal filter   The inventors Myra and Brian Conant of Mililani Hawaii USA still claim on their website to have discovered the undergarment product in   years after Chester Weimer filed for a patent for his product  Was it made in  or was it  years after his product was made  Preceding unsigned comment added by       Merge   There doesnt seem to be much justification for keeping a separate article on the common word for a bodily function The word really doesnt really live
