Silicosis[edit]

Can somebody explain this blanking?

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Caesarstone_Sdot-Yam&diff=next&oldid=533671114

Whether you call it "Caesarstone silicosis," "artificial stone silicosis" or just "silicosis," there are many WP:RS saying that Caesarstone is associated with silicosis. Even the company admits it in their safe handling instructions. 300 cases is an unusually large number, and silicosis is basically a terminal disease.

According to this NYT article:

Popular Quartz Countertops Pose a Risk to Workers
By BARRY MEIER
APRIL 1, 2016

Outside the United States, where the use of engineered stone products first took off, there have been numerous cases of silicosis. In Israel, for example, about 300 workers have been found to have the disease, including 22 patients who have undergone lung transplants, said Dr. Mordechai R. Kramer, who heads the Institute of Pulmonary Medicine in Petah Tikva, Israel.

Dr. Kramer, the Israeli physician who led the study, estimated that Caesarstone accounted for 99 percent of the market there, adding that the company had faced dozens of lawsuits from injured workers.

Advertising content in this article that I've removed, has been reverted for no reasons[edit]

Hello: The user Gilabrand, has reverted advertising content that I've removed because of its nature as advertorial, because he said that the removed content backed up with sources. The removed content appeared also in the article in the hebrew wikipedia, and when I removed it there, the user Gilgamesh, thank me about this, and removed other advertising content, that appearing also in the article here.

Even if backed up with sources, advertising content have no place in an encyclopedia, so I don't expects that while in the hebrew wikipedia, someone would thanks me for this operation, in the english wikipedia, my changes would be reverted.

One question: Product placements, advertorials and advertising contents are legal in the english wikipedia? זור987 (talk) 15:39, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Caesarstone Ltd. manufactures quartz surfaces[edit]

After reading this article there is nothing contained within explaining what a quartz surface is or the process of manufacturing it.
