- Vaseline is not a genericized word. It is an internationally recognized wholly owned trademark brand of products. Redirection should correctly go to the Vaseline Brand page. SkincareScientist 18:45, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- I removed all content added by User:SkincareScientist as it was lifted verbatim from the "About Us" section of the Vaseline website. This was to remove copyright infringement and advertising/advocacy. Chrisfow 23:57, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- I have blanked this page because it is extremely uninformative, over 50% of the article was mindless vandalism and the formatting was terrible. 86.136.96.173 15:10, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- This should be at Vaseline, not Vaseline (brand).--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 14:34, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I think the obvious question is: Is Vaseline a food? Cash Cab says the guy who invented vaseline ate a spoonful everyday for 60 years. Is there any verification for this? Dragix (talk) 22:17, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Lubricant
Should there be anything on here about vaseline being used as an(anal) lubricant? I mean: it's oil-based, so it's better not to use it(should be waterbased instead). I would say that's important information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.206.139.28 (talk • contribs)
These concerns are discussed in personal lubricants, which article is referenced early. I think this does it. No mention is made of Vaseline as a lens smear to soften nude photos either. Cgmusselman (talk) 21:09, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
Unnoticed Vandalism
Observe the following comparison:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vaseline&action=historysubmit&diff=334161601&oldid=331591809
As you can see, someone stuck in a name (their own or that of someone they know, I guess). I can find no references regarding a "David Brookes" and Vaseline, except from Wikipedia and articles lifted from it. The fact that so many sites have copied these "facts" is a bit embarrassing, don't you think? Watch out for a repeat, just in case. Pandarsson (talk) 13:14, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
