[edit] I

I have to comment at this point. The slow-as-molasses edit war over "between" and "betwixt" on this page is quite absurd and (to me) pretty darn amusing. Just when I've begun to forget about it, we get another round. - BanyanTree 16:04, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Purality

There is an inconsistency with reference to the plural for fistula. At one point it is fistulas, whereas further down the article it is fistulae. What is the plural and can the article be standardised to reflect this? - SJetha 9:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fistulated Cow

Would this be the right page to create a section about the http://www.daviswiki.org/Fistulated_Cow ? I don't really wish to myself, but perhaps someone else might like to. :) —Quiddity 08:48, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Location of fistulas

"It is a very serious and painful disorder that affects people of third world or poorer countries." surely fistulas dont occur exclusively in poor countries? Could someone who is certain maybe change to 'affects mostly people of third world...' or 'affects many people of third world...'. Thx MrFire 15:27, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Definition

I've edited the definition to include the most critical element, which is the epithelial lining. Beoplayer 12:49, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Third world countries

I've removed this sentence, as it really has nothing to do with fistulas. If this sort of comment *must* be included, then it should be in a section detailing the origins of fistulas; what conditions cause them, what exacerbates them, etc. In its old location, it was unverified and irrelevant to the section.

The part about them being painful and serious is a little unnecessary, but is alright. I've moved it to the top where the general description of fistula is. Glacialfury 22:08, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
