Thank you for your interest in editing Wikipedia. Your edit to Lisinopril was successful, but because it was not considered beneficial to the page, the edit has been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. The change you made caused all the elements at the top of the page to run together, making them harder to read and understand. — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 22:39, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi UncleBubba,

I made that change because none of the markup at the top of the page generated any text. This resulted in several programs that interrogate the wiki failing to find and display the first paragraph as a summary. For example, I discovered it in this way:

[15:15:39] <ComputerCarl> 'wiki lisinporil
[15:15:41] <@diabot> ComputerCarl: I didn't find anything for "lisinporil". Did you mean "lisinopril"?
[15:15:41] <@diabot> ComputerCarl: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lisinopril&oldid=494462690
[15:15:43] <@diabot> ComputerCarl: Error: I tried to send you an empty message.

My talk page also has the same problem. If you could suggest another way to avoid the article appearing with a completely blank line at the top, I'd love to make that change instead.
