[edit] Encopresis and Enuresis.

I am a psychologist and the owner of soilingsolutions.com, encopresis.com, encopresis.org, enuresis.org, and bedwetting.org. I had done a lot of earlier work on validating the bedwetting alarm and later developed the soiling solutions protocols for encopresis during an invited visiting professorship at the University of Western Australia way back in 1975-1976. The internet provided the opportunity for a world-wide "catchment" area and so I prepared my protocols in manual form and began selling them in 1998 over the Soiling Solutions website. In general I am a strong advocate for effective approaches to treating encopresis (and enuresis) which includes the standard pediatric "top down" approaches combined with reinforcements for sitting and postural guidelines. The best example of that approach is being investigated by Psychologist Lee Ritterband at the U of VA under an NIH grant who is using an internet interface with branching routines for parents to utilize. The aboutencopresis.com website springs from emedicine and the Uof VA, but its forum portion has become relatively inactive. Wikipedia provides an external link to this website. I had been approached by emedicine at the suggestion of Dr Ritterband and Dr Stephen Borowitz, but nothing ever came of it so I activated encopresis.org, enuresis.org, and bedwetting.org to provide forums for these issues. These sites all refer to a choice between an encopresis and an enuresis forum which I do not moderate except for new members to rule out spammers who largely destroyed the aboutencopresis.com site from which it has not recovered very well. Encopresis by the way is the "hot" topic. Enuresis does not attract much attention and there are no effective forums for it to my knowledge surviving on the internet. I think my twin approach may help to make an enuresis forum more likely to succeed.

I am basically looking for support to add the encopresis.org, enuresis.org, and bedwetting.org websites as External Links for the Encopresis, Soiling, and Enuresis/bedwetting Wikipedia entries. I had earlier added encopresis.org on wikipedia as an External Link, but saw that it had recently been removed. Inputs would be appreciated and I would be happy to respond to any concerns.
