Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Hi LostMyAccount! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of both Sunscreen and Certified Organic Sunscreen several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:43, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Avobenzone, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 08:31, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

@Materialscientist: Hi, I see you reverted my edit because of "original research". The information I removed was wrong and no one of the linked references indicate that avobenzone is banned. Could you please revert back your revert? LostMyAccount (talk) 08:35, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Suggestion for a New Page on Certified Organic Cosmetics

Hello LostMyAccount,

Following our recent exchanges on the Certified Organic Sunscreen page, I've been reflecting on the information I added regarding certifiers like Ecocert and Cosmos. Upon further review, it appears I may have added these certifiers without thorough consideration, as neither standard classifies any UV filter as organic.

In light of this, I believe it would be beneficial to create a separate page dedicated to Certified Organic Cosmetics, where we can provide clear and accurate information on the different certification standards. This way, we can ensure that readers are well-informed and not misled regarding what constitutes a certified organic sunscreen product.

I am interested in hearing your thoughts on this suggestion. If you agree, I am ready to collaborate on creating and populating the new page with accurate and relevant information. Looking forward to your response and working together to enhance the informational value of Wikipedia on this topic.

I'm not sure I follow what you mean: Cosmos doesn't classify UV filters, but still it certifies sunscreen products as far as I know. Sunscreens are cosmetic products, so it would make sense to have a single page containing information about all natural or organic cosmetic labelling, not two separate pages, one for cosmetics and one for sunscreens. However, a problem that I see in this type of pages is that they risks to be original researches and they would require the presence of reliable secondary sources LostMyAccount (talk) 14:34, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
