Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

Sorry that I had to revert your change but the FDA source shows that either oils or water-based aromas may be added (and the latter preferred). If you can find better phrasing than "flavored scents (aromas)" to cover both additives, please feel free to add it. --RexxS (talk) 21:21, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for my reversion. I saw the section had been blanked without edit summary and having checked back and forth, I reverted your edits without spotting you had made a third edit in the meantime. I've now restored your last edit. However, you need to re-write your prose. The phrases: "The trend continued to infiltrate", "bars were popping up", and "beleaguered customers" are simply unsuitable for an encyclopedia and need to be stated in a neutral manner, rather than giving the impression of advertising. If you're not sure what I mean, let me know. --RexxS (talk) 18:28, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see you're trying to use the same reference twice in Oxygen bar. If you use this something like this:

<ref name="Wanjek2006">{{cite web |url=http://www.livescience.com/health/060418_bad_oxygen.html |title=Suffocating Trends: Oxygen Bars and Drinks |last=Wanjek |first=Christopher |date=18 April 2006 |publisher=Live Science |accessdate=2009-06-25}}</ref>

You will get this.^[1] Then you can use <ref name="Wanjek2006" /> as many times as you want afterwards, like this,^[1] and again.^[1]

I know that the {{cite web}} template is a bit of steep learning curve, but it really does help to references neat and consistent. Hope that helps. --RexxS (talk) 00:21, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
