I took a second look at the article, thanks for the improvements. A little more work needs done before we can publish the article. A few statements that sound promotional are "Today the BioLite CampStove is available worldwide and the HomeStove is in large-scale pilot testing. BioLite has a team of twenty professionals, headquartered in DUMBO, Brooklyn with additional team members in Seattle and Austin." and "The CampStove is useful not only for hikers and campers, but also as an emergency preparedness tool." and "Over three billion people rely on open fires for daily life and every year nearly four million die from respiratory diseases and pollution caused by these open fires." Most of this material could be taken out, although perhaps keep the bit about employees, reworded as something like "BioLite has 20 employees at it's headquarters in DUMBO, Brooklyn, as well as other workers in Seattle and Austin"

Don't get discouraged, the article is in pretty good shape, and your references are well done, a few more edits, read the whole thing over to really make sure it's neutral, and it can be published. Cheers, Millermk (talk) 18:24, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

Hello! EJLefever, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 20:01, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Questions

Hey, instead of making you go to the Teahouse/Help desk, I thought I'd come to you. Hope that's okay :)

1. For your first question - "I want to edit a redirect page, but don't know how". Redirects work in funny ways. What happens is you click on a link, and it shows you the redirected to page. However, the URL of the page is the original link (the redirect), and at the top, it'll say (Redirected from Biolite) right below the title. For example, clicking this URL, to Biolite, gives you the Biolith article, but still has the URL for Biolite, and displays the notice at the top. There's two ways to get back to the redirect to edit it -
   1. Go to the (Redirected from Biolite) at the top, and click the link. It'll take you to the page without redirecting you.
   2. Use this URL, putting the page name instead of PAGENAME - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PAGENAME&redirect=no. Note that this is not the same as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAGENAME&redirect=no, the second one will not work :)
2. For your second question, there is no way to lock an article from edits just because it's creator requests it. There is page protection, but it is only used in cases where the article receives vandalism from many editors. In all honesty, you'll most likely want editors to edit it, as it can, in theory, only get better with time :)

If you have more questions, feel free to reply here, or ask on my talkpage. Regards ~Charmlet ^-talk- 22:04, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
