message: I nominate Mechanisms of Soiling: A Vicious Circle as the most creative name ever. I like the drawing, in fact all drawings should be replaced with paint drawings. Not really, this is bad, although hilarity ensues when reading it.
I agree, this sounds like some sick, twisted 6th grader's science fair project, and I found the heading pretty amusing. Rem523 06:27, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Best Content Name Ever? 

message: This article is written either in the tone of a propaganda article, or an encyclopedic satire. Needless to say, this article is in desperate need of revision, preferably with someone in the field of pediatric care.

thread_title:  Propaganda 

message: I added an external link for encopresis.org to your encopresis page sometime ago where it has remained.  It provides an important commercial free parents forum for children with encopresis or enuresis. I require moderated registration for joining in order to exclude spammers which has virtually destroyed the aboutencopresis.com forum which was a major forum provided by emedicine.com in cooperation with the U of VA.  It is a very rapidly growing forum which I provide as a free public service.  I would like to add this same link to the soiling page.

message: If someone has five or ten minutes to strip all the unnecessary bold text out of this article, that would really help.  (Just about everything that's in bold-face text now, except the first use of the main title ("Soiling"), should be turned into plain text.)  I cleaned up one section, and all the rest need similar attention.  
Also, several of the "bulleted lists" should be just plain old paragraphs.  I think this will look more like an encyclopedia article if we do that.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 07:05, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: You can help!

message: This should just be merged into Encopresis instead of being repaired.  The merge proposal is being discussed at Talk:Encopresis.  If there are no objections, I'd appreciate it if one of these pages regular editors would merge the pages in a few days.  Thanks, WhatamIdoing (talk) 07:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Scratch that

message: I never read the original versions of this page which were triggering so much criticism.
I would like to point out that the term encopresis is used almost exclusively in pediatrics. I dont know why the encopresis page defines encopresis as occurring in both children and adults. I have found no reference or study to support this wider definition.
I draw your attention to the fact that the term "fecal soiling" is sometimes used interchangeably with encopresis (i.e. in pediatrics), but soiling is generally used more to refer to Liquid stool Incontinence in adults. Other terms for this kind of FI in adults include fecal leakage, fecal seepage.
Either, I add this to the Fecal incontinence page, which might make it too long, or make a new page called "fecal leakage" since this is the most common term used for adults.Tepi (talk) 13:26, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  This needs to be a separate article from encopresis for liquid fecal incontinence in adults 

message: ...as "soiling" is used interchangeably with encopresis, i.e. referring to children, but it is also used in some papers to refer to a vaguely similar condition in adults, fecal soiling, or just soiling.
However, most of the papers on that subject use term "fecal leakage", which I made a new page for.
Since etiologies of encopresis are usually different from fecal leakage, I think people need a disambiguation page here to direct them to either the page referring to the childhood condition or fecal leakage.Tepi (talk) 22:28, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
