One thing that I should advise you of right away, but neglected to do so earlier, is that no copyrighted materials can be added to Wikipedia without the consent of the legal copyright holder. I Google sampled a section of the material on gin that you were trying to add back in September, and it appears to be copied and pasted from [2]. That material is copyrighted by the American Chemical Society 2008 and so can not be included in the encyclopedia without the full consent of that organization. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 18:16, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
