Only American toilets mentioned!

Why has reference to the Australian company Caroma's 3/4.5 litre toilet been removed from this Talk page?

Is it because you consider that the only toilet that should be mentioned MUST be American. Obviously, ALL American dual-flush toilets have a push-pull button. In Australia, dual-flush toilets are normally dual button type.

Caroma's 3/4.5 l toilet (must have both cistern and pan designed for it) are real. You just need to research it. Oh! it wasn't designed in the good old USA so it doesn't count.

What with car seat belts, you're years behind the civilised world. Molbrum2 (talk) 15:32, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was archived as all older discussions are. You can still see it. There is no American plot to remove mention of Australian toilets. Also, fyi, insults are not the best way to get questions answered. 70.90.87.73 (talk) 22:13, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fuller

The quote in the article refers to 'fuller'. People may not know what a fuller is, so perhaps someone can link to the wikipedia article on Fulling — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.230.128.205 (talk) 15:45, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WC and Water-closet

The history/ethimology section misses the word «Water-closet». According to google books the term was in use in the 18 century.

According to Alexandre Dumas and Les Miserables de Londres this term was also in use in english in the 1850s.

This term has its importance for havin been imported in France, its heavy use replaces the term cabinet, before it been replaced by the word water or the abrevisation WC which is the standard word nowadays in France. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.100.0.8 (talk) 11:44, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
