Re: Copper Corrosion

In short, this situation has been discussed not once on wikipedia; the consensus is to keep elements articles as neutral as possible, and to focus them on fundamental properties. Extended political issues are moved to separate pages dedicated to the topic. Materialscientist (talk) 23:37, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I recalled why did I revert your edits [1] [2]: (i) they were referenced to a dubious server h2oc.com which can be considered as company promotion; (ii) they had rather technical and specific focus for those general articles (local problems in Illinois and Missouri); (iii) household drain water contains all kind of chemicals, thus saying it corrodes copper is hardly informative.
