[edit] Image

I changed the image to one of my own creation, I feel it is easier to read than the old image and is .png format rather than .jpg which is better for text. As I created this file for the article Bristol Stool Chart rhather than this one, I may update it to say ... Scale rather than ... Chart to avoid confiusion. kylet 05:23, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for doing that, it looks much neater now! PiffPuffPickle 20:25, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Both the old image and the new one look like feces.
Well, they would. kylet 00:26, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
He's right. They're absolute crap.

I use this in caring for people with severe phsical handicaps and mental impairments; I've always liked being able to say that I know my maneur. Is their any relationship between the Bristol scale and the old Chinese use of faeces in medical analysis? Grant McKenna 06:28, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

This is "Da Feces!"§


  • I Changed the picture, so it has the better pics, but the words are still nice and neat and clean.

I know it's a serious medical chart and all, but the first time I saw that chart, I thought it was a joke. Like something you'd see on a humor site. fuzzybunny566 03:37, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

This is honestly the funniest article on Wikipedia.68.227.177.91 06:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bot removal of pic

Make the bot put the pic back. It helps the article a lot. Buttboy666 18:58, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, that's a subject for debate and I'm glad it was addressed by Buttboy at least. There's not a lot of people up for discussing this kind of crap. --Randall00 22:56, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] names

Do these seven types of feces have technical names like clouds do? Totnesmartin 21:25, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately no, only the number is generally used in the medical profession. Buttboy666 17:33, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
I feel some Original Research coming on... :) but this isn't the place :( Totnesmartin 20:41, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
I wouldn't go in there; I just dropped a wicked Pileus! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.214.182.23 (talk) 15:11, 26 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Numbering

The picture and the list only have seven types, but the text below the list refers to eight types...

[edit] Types of feces depending on health state

The article says that the different types of maneur are influenced by your current health state. But, it doesnt even list or give examples of what may influence each type. For example, eating something nasty or unhealthy may cause you to have type 5-7.. it would also be helpful to know why. Another example, is young children having type 1 because theyre systems are very healthy and clean. Simply, list what things can cause or influence the different types of maneur.

  • There are so many conditions and drugs and situations that can have so many different kinds of effects on bowel movements that you should probably read the article for the condition you are curious about. The purpose of the Bristol Stool Scale is to classify feces based on form, not cause, and this article correctly reflects that purpose. --69.112.246.174 22:04, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Joke?

Is this a serious article? Please tell me it's a joke! Wobuzowatsj (talk) 23:08, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Nope, there's a couple of references. It's legit. WLU (talk) 23:16, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
