Stereospecific numbering

I noticed that my addition of information about sn-nomenclature was removed/reverted with the statement: "NOTTEXTBOOK and pedantic".

I added a section on stereospecific numbering and naming as this is very important in understanding the nomenclature of plasmalogens. The stereospecific nomenclature is not adequately explained on any of the existing Misplaced Pages pages and most appropriately fits within the page on glycerol, since glycerol-derived biochemicals are almost always described using the sn (stereospecific numbering) system.

I added background on the numbering system itself to show why the numbering system exists and why it is necessary.

The Misplaced Pages styles regulations regarding "writing like a textbook" were not violated. Facts were presented, but not in a style to "teach subject matter". I did not have:

1. leading questions
2. systematic problem solutions as examples

It may have been pedantic, which is a negative way of saying I was precise and meticulous, but I don't see that being a pertinent problem in any of the Misplaced Pages style guides. Furthermore, the edit shouldn't have been removed -- but the pedantic nature could have simply been edited out (if that was the problem). When information is missing, and someone adds it to a page, I don't think the solution is to remove the needed information, even if it isn't written 100% to par (but I am new to this)

I admit that I am new to this, and open for a more detailed reasoning for the removed edits, as well as suggestions to improve my writing style, but the information is a needed addition to Misplaced Pages.

For now, I am re-adding the information Tmbirkhead (talk) 05:06, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

I made a few minor edits, hopefully to be less "pedantic" Tmbirkhead (talk) 05:16, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Glycerin smoking

Electronic cigarette use is technically not 'smoking' - there is no combustion. The process is considered vaporizing or atomizing. Not sure what the section should be named since just saying 'vaporizing' might not be clear to everyone - maybe 'Glycerine Vaporization and Inhalation in Electronic Cigarettes' ?

There is no info or studies on smoking glycerol... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.61.18.185 (talk) 15:32, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

There are studies now, and more in progress. Not sure if that info should be linked from here or in the e-cig or e-liquid page. Huckleup (talk) 05:28, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

I mean I'm just a random kid In jersey but I'm smoking 90% glycerol 10% glycerin right now, with flavors and nicotine of course. Its technically vapor (vaporizing or vaping) but its actually reallllyyyyy big right now and its getting bigger. There's got to be a way to add that under applications — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.249.27 (talk) 12:50, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

There is a section on Electronic Cigarette Liquid with links to the e-liquid and electronic cigarettes pages. Is that enough? Huckleup (talk) 05:25, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Why does "polyglycerol" redirect here?
