Fair enough, I've removed my hangon tag. I found this reference misleading (well, it mislead me!) [1]

[edit] In defense of this article

I wrote this article. It's for a US brand-name skin cleanser which was originally formulated to remove radioactive dust from skin. This fact is referenced. As such the product has a legitimate claim to being part (albeit small) of American Cold War history. It was later shown to be effective against urushiol and is sold widely as a poison oak, ivy, and sumac remedy. The article as posted is Wikified; I don't understand why it was tagged as needing Wikification. I've added categories. All helpful suggestions welcome. Leoniana (talk) 00:05, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Can you provide any references that are 3rd party (i.e. not from the company that manufactures this product). That would help. Perhaps if this skin cleanser is talked about by a reliable media outlet?

Additional references and one relevant external link have been added. This article is Wikified sufficiently, in my view. Any more and it becomes a link farm, which I don't think anyone wants. Remove "needs Wikification" tag, please? Leoniana (talk) 05:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
