[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Propylene glycol has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

I did read about editing and it said things were NOT mandatory. Just because I didn't put an edit summary doesn't mean the content was not constructive. I provided a verifiable reference for the information that I added.Knowitall-fgma (talk) 01:48, 14 March 2009 (UTC)knowitall-fgma[reply]

Hi, the reason I reverted it was because it looked like it was copy-pasted from somewhere, thus violating whatever website's copyright. You can add the information... just phrase it in your own words. Furthermore, I used a pre-created warning template, that automatically contains the information about edit summaries. You could have made an edit summary and still gotten that message. If you don't think the warning should include the line about edit summaries, you are welcome to go to the warning's talk page (simply hit Discussion at the top of the page) and express your opinion there. Sorry I wasn't more clear. RainbowOfLight Talk 03:09, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the section about cancer as the supplied references do not support this. The references given refer to a different chemical, not propylene glycol. See the propylene glycol talk page for an explanation. If you disagree with this please discuss it on the talk page. Please do not re-add the same material to the article. Thanks.

Thanks for addressing your concern. Per WaysToEscape, the source address propylene glycol mono-t-butyl ether, instead of propane-1,2-diol itself. The source is quite reliable, and we have to get the facts right. --Deryck C. 12:04, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
