Talk:Burping

message: There's a vote on Talk:Flatulence about moving the page to "fart" (just like this page is burp instead of eructation).  Let the world know how you feel!  -69.110.21.188

thread_title:  farting & burping 

message: Burping is a natural phenomenon; most health people burp six or more times each day.  You don't get that sense from this overheated write-up.  For a more balanced treatment, see, http://www.webmd.com/heartburn-gerd/tc/gas-bloating-and-burping-topic-overview  93.73.66.219 (talk) 14:50, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article way too alarmist on health 

message: I doubt the validity of the passage "in Saudi Arabia, Japan, and many other countries, burping after a meal is considered a compliment to the chef", since I know for a fact that this is definitely not true for Japan. This might be simple rumor or stereotype, as in reality it is considered as much a taboo in polite company as in the Western world.
:I agree. Sources would be good for any of these (when I added it I believe it referred only to the Middle East, but people have been slowly adding countries ever since), pending which I'll remove it entirely. Ziggurat 08:57, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

message: the "word" "burp" is unacceptable for wikipedia and should be removed. also this article does not expand our knowledge on the subject so I feel it should be deleted entirely.--Isshii (talk) 05:31, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia isn't censored. Most English-speakers call it either burping or belching anyway, and both are considered appropriate terms.  Just because it may not expand your personal knowledge on the topic, many people on the web may be actually searching for information, and this article would help them.

thread_title:  I FEEL THIS ARTICLE SHOULD NOT EXIST AT ALL OR BE HIGHLY EDITED 

message: The way found this page was another Wikipedia page that discussed the differences between Arianism and Orthodox Christianity. That article mentions the word eructation as one of the possible other reasons for Jesus Christ's birth. I can understand there not being a link like this to either page. And I don't really see the linkage between the two ideas and how this idea could have worked for anyone. Maybe the word in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arianism is being misspelled or misquoted. An online historical time line led me to the whole story to begin with.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.113.210.175 (talk) 01:55, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The Cultural Acceptance section is wrong.  Burping is not any more or less acceptable in Japan than it is in western countries.  This is bogus information.  In fact, the referenced web page actually says burping is not polite at meals in Japan.  I will remove Japan from this reference, unless there is some objection.  --Westwind273 (talk) 17:46, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

message: the audio file is not electronically distorted, that's just how a normal grown up's burping sound. The previous audio you are advocating for sounds like the half hearted forced burping of a child, I used to burp like that when I was 6 years old. --Yukterez (talk) 06:02, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Roaring Burps 

message: In this article, and many supposedly informative sites on burping, claim burping is primarily and almost exclusively caused by swallowing air. This is done without citation or explanation. No mention is made of digestive processes causing burps beyond carbonated beverages.
The exception is the strangely lengthy discussion on bovine burps which mention nothing about cows swallowing air. The cow discussion is also supported by a scientific article.
To me, it seems unlikely that "swallowing air" is a real or significant cause of burping. Regardless of my belief, this myth or folk wisdom should not be perpetuated by Wikipedia unless the context is explained or a reliable citation found. Cpbm727 (talk) 13:51, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

message: Does anyone agree with me when I say that the burp sounds like a BURP SOLO. Why am I getting the feeling that we should change it... MarioFyreFlower (talk) 20:47, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , This is indeed, an astounding and astonishing rendition! It is not particularly elegant, but perhaps it does provide an excellent example of the various sounds. I don't have experience in judging the appropriateness of audio clips for our encyclopedia. Yes, it is a bit weird, but illustrative....(and pretty gross, from my US cultural viewpoint).
