 * Your edits have been reverted for the following reasons. They are not constructive, violate numerous guidelines, and do not demonstrate competence. Please try making small, constructive, edits to many different types of articles so you can learn how things are done here. With experience the quality of your edits will likely improve and they will "stick", IOW they won't be reverted. I wish you luck, because editing at Wikipedia can be a very learning and rewarding experience. I suggest you read about our "BOLD, Revert, Discuss" cycle. If your edits get "Reverted", don't restore them (that would be edit warring), but start a "Discussion" about the situation on the article's talk page. Then work with the other editors. With their help, you may get your edit tweaked so it can be used. -- Brangifer (talk) 17:27, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Your latest edits have been reverted for the reasons provided in the edit summary I left there. Please follow the BRD cycle, as described above. Justify your edits on the article's talk page. Also, your edits are definitely not "minor" in any sense. They are quite major, bordering on vandalism. I know that is not your intention, but removal of properly sourced content is usually considered vandalism here.

It would also be nice to know about your intentions with your edits. What are you trying to achieve? Please discuss these matters on the article's talk page. We edit collaboratively here, so we'd like to work with you and help you succeed, as long as your goals are in harmony with our policies. -- Brangifer (talk) 21:47, 8 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello Brangifer,


 * Thank you for your constructive criticism. I am trying to update Zicam's page, as it seems to heavily on focus on the negative product recall it faced a few years back. Zicam reacted very positively in the face of this, and should get a chance to talk about this on its page, while calling attention to other aspects of the company. I am willing to work with you to come to an agreement on these edits and ensure they are entered properly.


 * That sounds very good. Please carry on at the article's talk page by proposing the changes you'd like to make. I'm sure we can improve the article. In the mean time, please don't delete anything from the article, because the history of the product still belongs there. -- Brangifer (talk) 22:26, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
