In regards to the revert
I wasn't doing that to remove censorship. I was mainly removing it due to the fact that it is rather redundant to have said photo there and another similar photo (just a photo of a woman's breast) on top. If you want to discuss this you can message me via talk page. Bmecoli 04:15, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

breast pic
Thanks for contributing the picture to the breast article. I would say though that it doesn't really illustrate a change in breasts due to pregnancy, as there's no before or after pics with which to compare it. If you could add a comparison pic showing the same breasts (yours) and the effect that pregnancy has, that would be very informative.

Any way, welcome to wikipedia, if you're new here (i know if i was going to post intimate pictures of myself I'd be tempted to do it under an alias, and i don't see anything wrong with that) and happy editing. Spute 21:44, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Re mature breasts
Amy, may I presume from the above message to you, that you are the owner of the breasts that are entitled "Young woman's breasts"?

Please go to the discussion page on Breasts and read my lengthy explanation as to why I removed the other picture and placed the picture of the "young pregnant breasts" further down the page. The other pic comes off Flickr and we know NOTHING about the age of the woman. It does not look like the breast of a mature woman during pregnancy. I would expect to see marked evidence of veins, stretches, milk ducts etc.

It doesn't give any sort of reasonable comparison, except that the breasts are a different shape and size. The difference is not due to the maturity of the woman concerned, but simply to the fact that the breasts are very round and firm.

I'm a mature woman who has fed a couple of kids. I've got a couple of super-droopers but I don't think I'll put them up for comparison.

Assuming good faith
Hi. Please be cautious with your use of such terms as "vandalism" and "censorship"; neither of those terms apply to the situation at Breast. --19:46, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Request for monitoring
I saw your input at the page Talk:Breast, so I know that you do not have a pro-censorship bias. The user User:I already forgot has persistently blanked an image on the article, and has uncivilly falsely accused me of making false accusations of vandalism. See Forgot's edit history for details. I request that you keep an eye on this uncivil persistent vandal and try to stop his/her shenanigans. Embryoglio 23:45, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Dioxane
Hi I am the person that removed the discussion of 1,4-dioxane from the SLES article. As I explained elsewhere, I dont really care for or against dioxane (or SLES for that matter). I do however have a pretty good feel for chemical articles. Each chemical article discusses that chemical and sometimes its derivatives, that's where the article stops. At least that has been the pattern for thousands of chemical articles. If you would like to discuss this aspect, feel free to leave a note. There is also a chemistry project site that would appropriate if you think that we should review our editing/content pattern. The relevant editors appear not to be particularly pro-industry (or anti) but focused on content. One idea is that if you think more info on dioxane should be available, you could expand 1,4-dioxane. Thanks,


 * Per WP:OR, To demonstrate that you are not adding original research, you must be able to cite reliable published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and that directly support the material as presented. -- MotherAmy 18:13, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I was certainly not trying to do OR, but simply trying to keep an article on topic vs evolving into your or other's soapbox. Oh well, stridency uber alles.--Smokefoot (talk) 18:19, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Repeat after me. 1,4-Dioxane is found in SLES. -- MotherAmy 18:34, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

 * These articles will help you understand that SLES is contaminated with 1,4-Dioxane. -- MotherAmy 18:56, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Trying to keep this conversation slightly more productive....You might look for a more authoritative source than Daisy Green or drop that one. Even though it might have tipped you off about some link to dioxane, citing it weakens the very case you are trying to make. But I think I understand what you are trying to say, you might try some different and simpler wording that would satisfy a chemically literate reader (which in turn would confer greater credibility).  Something like "SLES is known to degrade to 1,4-dioxane, which is suspected ...(citation)"  The article on 1,4-dioxane (not the one on SLES!) should then be revised with the health warnings that you find notable and credible.  I speak as someone who is concerned about casual exposure to chronically debilitating chemical compounds.  But my sense is that polemics or tangential digressions (discussing dioxane at any length in SLES) impedes the very theme you seek to illuminate.   Science. good data, and good sources.--Smokefoot (talk) 19:42, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I prefer to edit SLES and other similar articles. -- MotherAmy 01:51, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunate choice, the editing process is supposed to be consensus guided. But you have the determination that should power you along, unimpeded by complicating knowledge or alternate views.  Article hijacking happens not infrequently here. Hopefully you will eventually find someone in the real world who is technical knowledgeable and that you can trust to advise you.--Smokefoot (talk) 02:22, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 1,4-Dioxane is a byproduct. An ingredient does not degrade to 1,4-Dioxane. -- MotherAmy 05:12, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
