Could someone (with knowledge) please fix the "Common Properties" section? It seems to have be sabotaged or incomplete... 144.131.128.204 23:38, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Definition

Could the Alkali page be updated with a definition? I get properties of alkali materials but there is no defining characteristic. What defines alkalinity?

What is the actual DEFINITION of Alkali? I am CLUELESS to all this stuff and trying to learn. Thanks

[edit] Last Paragraph

I believe the last paragraph of this article is misleading. It implies that there is a scientific basis for ingesting alkaline water. I know of no valid, scientific studies that show that.

Also, machines that purport to produce alkaline or ionized water probably produce miniscule amounts of either.--216.153.130.249 15:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

The last paragraph seemed to have no scientific background. I believe it was more of a product plug than anything having basis for this page, hence its deletion. Kal1917 16:59, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Examples?!

This article is useless without examples of common foods fitting the description.-DMCer 08:47, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
