Overall: The article is new, as it was created on April 17, 2023. It is also sufficiently lengthy, with 13997 characters (2148 words), and does [appear to have any issues] with plagiarism. However, in my opinion, the picture is not clear enough to be used on the main page. Overall, the topic is interesting and the hook has been appropriately cited. RV (talk) 05:21, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
Script to see harv errors
[edit]Not going to try and fix as I don’t enjoy but if anyone wants to see them User:Trappist the monk/HarvErrors may be useful Chidgk1 (talk) 14:39, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- Ugh I edit on mobile and have no idea how to install that script. I'll ask my tech support team (husband) later. jengod (talk) 14:59, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- Ah just typos not as bad as I thought. Just one left now but not really an error - Baki is not used - perhaps you intended to use that source but decided not to Chidgk1 (talk) 14:08, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you Chidgk1 That was really helpful and nice. jengod (talk) 14:45, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Should there be a redirect for soil development?
[edit]If so where to? See also Soil improvement Chidgk1 (talk) 14:51, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- I think Soil formation ? (Or maybe topsoil?) jengod (talk) 14:58, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- P.S. Thank you for this question. jengod (talk) 15:00, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- I swapped in soil regeneration which is what I was going for but didn't know we had. jengod (talk) 16:06, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- I did not know either. So I have now redirected to that - if wrong please undo Chidgk1 (talk) 13:46, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
