First, thank you, Cindy, for contributing! I discovered a potential problem, though, and wanted to raise it for you and others to consider.

I spent a bit of time cleaning up the references, and discovered that the bulk of this article is taken, intact, from the second reference. That would be a potential violation of Wikipedia's copyright guidelines. Then I noticed that the author of the reference is none other than Cindy Jones! May I presume that User:Cindy Jones1 and Cindy Jones, PhD. are the same person? If so, then I suppose that we can also presume that you've given yourself fair use permission for this material.

Even so, we've got a bit of a policy problem, since WP doesn't permit the use of self-published works as sources (see WP:REF and WP:INDY). Again, to be clear - I think that the content itself is fine, and I'm grateful that you've contributed it. But perhaps some editors with more experience than I have could comment?

In Australia the term distillate refers specifically to Diesel fuel. I have added a reference to this on the Diesel fuel and Fuel oil entries but do not know how to change this redirection into a normal disambiguation page. Bebofpenge (talk) 06:48, 1 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
