Sun April 24 User answer: The change I made may appear unconstructive, but it is not. The correct Engish word is "inflammable," meaning: "easily set on fire." That is the meaning aimed for at the place in question. "Flammable" is a new word form that came into use in the USA because there, people started to think that "inflammable" meant the opposite of what it does mean, (wrongly) taking it as "fireproof." However, the new word form lacks the sudden impact conveyed by the older word. That's why I decided it was better to hold on to it in the place in question: a sudden, great fire by a small cause is described there. It appears you and I have a different opinion on what Wikipedia should be. I say, let's stick to correct English and leave street talk and easy speak for the uneducated aside (unless, of course, that's the subject of the lemma). You think that my correction looked as if it was not constructive. It looks to me as if, basically, we differ in our view of the public for which we construct this encyclopedia, boiling down to: "US or GB English?" and/or "Improve language use or adapt to the use of weaker forms?". But 'unconstructive'? Quite the country, imho.

Cheers, VHJM
