I believe that the link to MeetAnOstoMate.com should be re-inserted. This is a website for ostomates from around the world. It is intended to help ostomates find friends and/or start relationships. I think the link would be an appropriate addition to the topic of this article and useful for the readers.

I understand the desire to offer a resource helpful to people with ostomies, but Wikipedia's guildlines don't allow such entries. Here are four Wikipedia unexceptable external link guidlines that might apply:

Links mainly intended to promote a website.

Links to sites that primarily exist to sell products or services. For example, instead of linking to a commercial bookstore site, use the "ISBN" linking format, giving readers an opportunity to search a wide variety of free and non-free book sources.

Links to sites that require payment or registration to view the relevant content.

Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace), discussion forums or USENET.

I keep on finding crohns 4 young adults link being removed. This is an information and support site for people with ileostomys. This site is the same sort of site as Shazs site. Why is it being removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.74.214.33 (talk) 10:16, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A Stealth Belt will help to hold the ostomy bag in in place so people living with an ostomy can return to a normal active lifestyle after surgery. Crohn's survivor living with an ostomy since 2008.

Why was the external link "Crohn's Diaries" removed? This really isn't fair, considering there is a link to "Shaz's ostomy pages". You allowed that, so why won't you allow mine? This is a contradiction in your rules. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.153.172 (talk • contribs) 20:27, 2009 January 20

I removed it because it seems to be fairly obvious blog/personal website WP:LINKSPAM. You're probably right in that that other site should not be included, I'll look at it a bit more in a minute. Thanks for pointing that one out. Apparition¹¹ ^Complaints/Mistakes 20:44, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Other options

The description here has conflicting parts. The BCIR / J-Pouch is first described as attaching to the anus (seems like the usual description), and then shortly afterwards, as being drained by catheter through a stoma (which describes the Kock pouch). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.130.24.169 (talk) 17:24, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sentence spacing inconsistency

This article contains 47 sentences followed by double spaces, with other senteces throughout the article being followed by a single space. I've read on Sentence spacing in language and style guides that single spaces are recommended in the digital age. Couldn't find anything in WP:MANUAL, but maybe I've missed it. Anyway, I think consistency is importent. Thoughts? --Candide124 (talk) 21:50, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
