Disguised Advertising

I have removed the paragraph below from the alcohol rub article for the following reasons:

1) The paragraph is a disguised advertisement. Advertising is not allowed on Wikipedia. (see above) 2) The product is mislabeled in the US. The maximum concentration for benzalkonium chloride in a sanitizer is 200 ppm. (CFR178:10:10) 3) Alcohol rubs with moisturizers do not dry hands with repeated use. (see references in article)

More recently, and in connection with side effects of alcohol-based products--specifically dry/irritated hands after prolonged or ongoing use, alternatives to alcohol-based products have been introduced to the marketplace. One product manufactured in Canada and distributed worldwide is So[1]popular...its active ingredient is benzalkonium chloride, FDA-approved and proven to have the same germ-killing efficacy as alcohol-based products. Unlike alcohol-based products, this is hypoallergenic and used as an antiseptic.--JSHibbard 21:35, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, your observations are not accurate. 1. The statements made referenced Soapopular as an illustrative example of non-alcohol hand sanitizers that use benzalkonium chloride as the active ingredient. 2. The Soapopular product is NOT mislabeled in the U.S, as the concentration of benzalkonium chloride (.13) fully conforms to FDA monograph re: hand antispetic products. 3. The suggestion that alcohol rubs with moisturizers imbedded in them do not cause dry hands is equally erroneous. While moisturizing elements might reduce the cause/effect of applying alcohol to the skin on a repeated basis, they reduction in drying/irritation is nominal at best. Jay

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Bernard Madoff has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \bblog(?:cu|fa|harbor|mybrain|post|savy|spot|townhall)?\.com\b (links: http://www.bernard-madoff-scam.blogspot.com,). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Bernard Madoff. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 13:18, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
