• @
  Wikipedia:NOTHOWTO and your list of instructions. Can you change this to a few sentences not sounding like a manual on how to to do a procedure? Some sections are very short. Maybe that's ok but maybe consider merging or expanding. I edited a little on references. Copyvio and character count ok and hook appears sound. It's very good and I've enjoyed reading it. Speak soon. Whispyhistory (talk

• @Whispyhistory: Thank you kindly for taking it upon yourself to review this DYK nom. (: I appreciate the policy link regarding the ototopical administration technique for cerumenolytics. Do you know of any pages that have discussed a (preferably medical) process well—without straying into the territory of providing instructions—that I can use as an example/template for writing about this subject? I've merged some of the sections into the larger text, per your advice. Thank you for your edits. I appreciate the praise, and I'm glad you enjoyed reading the article! Let me know if you have any other thoughts/advice for improvement.―Biochemistry🙴❤ 19:00, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

• Edit: I've added a sentence regarding administration to the article, applying some kind advice I received from Philafrenzy. I'd be happy to have your thoughts as well!―Biochemistry🙴❤ 19:18, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
