:The article does well on explaining the history behind the use and comparing that to the use today. Specifying which populations may benefit from Bedpans the most helps create better understanding for its use. There is clear structure in first presenting the background and then into the history. The edits supports inclusion by using neutral words like "people" and "individuals." The edits also include alternatives for both male and female urinals.   Gcwu (talk) 18:03, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: These recent edits contributed substantially to improving the quality of the context on this page. The history section was a great addition to include, especially the with the use of images of bedpans throughout the centuries. Are there any studies that your group found that looked at the impact on health after the emphasis on sanitation of bedpans was implemented? Statistical data, if any will help improve this page going forward. Overall, your group achieved most of the goals that you proposed. Future editors can contribute by adding more in regards to the risk of infection. The references listed are freely available to the public to review for themselves. There are a good variety of secondary sources ranging from textbooks, articles, and even literature reviews that were cited from. -W.Wu UCSFPharm (talk) 18:25, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the compliments on history and great suggestion on adding statistics. We looked extensively for meta-analyses but mostly found individual studies that were done. We do have a pending section for global usage where we plan to add more statistics on types of bedpan usage around the world so hopefully we can add more data there.

text: The article maintains a neutral tone throughout and avoids relying on medical jargon to communicate the information. The new edits provide more inclusive language and information. There was one paragraph (final paragraph of use and indication) that did not have a source cited for the information where a source could be useful - specifically the possibility of microorganism growth in ergonomic bedpans and possibly be more explicit about the improvements in cleaning and sterilization.

replies: text: Thank you for this specific feedback, and I will look for a microorganism growth citation that is different from the earlier C.diff reference used previously. VeronicaCraik (talk) 21:29, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

text: Thank you for this information, when we first received this article it had identifications such as "patients" so we made tried to make it more generalized. It was also nice to know that there are also alternatives to the usual bedpan and can be more suited to an individuals needs like indwelling catheters being able to be used for long-term use for urinary waste, etc. Jred.fong678 (talk) 21:29, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
