April 2017 edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page D3o has been reverted.
Your edit here to D3o was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-PVNYt0Nqs) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 14:35, 24 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at D3o. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You have continued to make unexplained edits to the page, including reverting multiple editors' reverts of your edits. Perhaps you should explain why you think this changes should be made on the article's talk page. Hermionedidallthework (talk) 21:50, 24 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hiya, please stop making revisions to my D3O page. I have emailed the company directly with my edits and they approve of the changes. Here are the reasons for my edits:


· The Silly Putty reference is completely wrong - D3O is not also known as Silly Putty and the two have no connection at all

· The phrase “The commercial material known as D3O is in essence polyurethane foam with traces of polyborodimenthylsiloxane” is far too simplistic and not really accurate. I appreciate that some of the info comes from the US Patent, but how it’s described on the article isn’t really accurate. I’d prefer to remove reference to Polyborodimethylsiloxane – for clarity and accuracy.

· The article talks of one material called D3O – which is incorrect. In reality, D3O is the company and they have more than 25 different types of material that we’re using. This opening section, which you uploaded is entirely accurate: D3O is a British company specialising in impact protection and shock absorption technology. It became well known for its use of non-Newtonian liquids, particularly dilatants, which help soft and flexible materials to temporarily increase stiffness during impact. D3O® patented and proprietary technologies are now being used on more than 25 different energy-absorbing materials that are used in impact protection products.
