[edit] Fluoridation vs. Fluorination
I disagree that the distinction between Fluorination (which links here) and Fluoridation is "unnecessary," as the revert by Edgar181 asserts. It's a very easy mistake to make and is in line with a lot of other Wikipedia pages that abate this type of confusion in the same way. Maybe my Wiki markup isn't correct, though; I welcome a correction on this. In any case I've heard Fluoridation referred to as "Fluorination" in the past and indeed I'd arrived at this page by accident. Please don't revert the edit again unless there is a specific Wikipedia policy reason, that can be cited, not to include it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.242.156.9 (talk) 03:34, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- OK, I understand now. I didn't realize that fluorination redirected to halogenation. I agree that there should be some kind of note at the top, but I have reworded it a bit to make it more clear and to match the standard wording used on other Wikipedia articles. Does this work for you? -- Ed (Edgar181) 10:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- Makes sense, thanks.--96.242.156.9 (talk) 18:24, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
