Hi Kristian. I think, you were wright. The guy making this edit is most probably Klaus Rothenbacher from BSEF, a representative of the bromine industry. Cheers, Lucido 17:07, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SDWA whistleblower protection

Greetings! I noticed some edits on the Safe Drinking Water Act page on whistleblowers. While important in and of itself, there does not appear to be a justification in the text section you wrote as to why this information is so important with regards to the Safe Drinking Water Act and why there should be a link farm to a host of whistleblower orgs. Was it the first piece of legislation with a similar provision? Has it been used widely or notably? Cheers, Kristan 14:42, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

The SDWA was not the first US environmental law with an employee protection (the Water Pollution Control Act, also called the Clean Water Act, was). However, the employee protection is a key part of the enforcement scheme. In my experience, too many employees don't know about the employee protection. They still think they have to do whatever the boss says, and they then play along with unhealthy illegality. When more employees know that they can refuse illegal orders, and report violations, with legal protection for their jobs, then we are all going to have more security in our drinking water. It is especially important to include information about the unusually short time limit to initiate complaints -- 30 days. Too many people find out after this time limit has expired. The SDWA is unique in that it allows the recovery of exemplary damages for violations of the employee protection. I wish all environmental laws had this provision. r3 23:36, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perfluorocarbon

Hi Kristian. You might be interested in this discussion: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chemicals#Perfluorocarbon. It's about the same topic as you have started a discussion on Talk:Perfluorocarbon. -- 77.56.108.47 00:19, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I need your help on the sunscreen controversy. I disagree with the following edit made by the Redpenofdoom: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sunscreen_controversy&diff=212587486&oldid=212583224

Since you speak german aswell: My username gerriet5 on the german wikipedia has been blocked. For no good reasons. please help me with this. They totally reverted all my edit and now the problem of sunscreen absorbing into the skin is not even mentioned on the Sonnencreme Web site.

Sunscreen

Could you please explain why you deemed my edit "vandalism" and reverted it (without providing notification on my talk page)? Thanks. —David Levy 21:54, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I await your reply. —David Levy 13:56, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, my bad. I think misunderstood what the {{for3|Sunblock|electronic music group|band}} tag accomplished, but it has been awhile, so I'm not reallys sure anymore. I've not really logged into Wikipedia for sometime, so my apologies for not seeing this. Let me know if there is anything else you need. Kmarkey (talk) 12:57, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pesticides

Hi Kmarkey. I added the Dirty Dozen and the Clean 15 and a paragraph of prose to Pesticides in the United States as well as wikilinks from the lead of Environmental Working Group. Would you possibly have time to review those changes to be sure they're right? Thanks. -SusanLesch (talk) 18:51, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
