In situ bioremediaton

Hi Conner,

When you put your sandbox into article Space, can you please call it In situ bioremediaton? In Wikipedia article titles do not have capital letters unless they are proper nouns. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:27, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Conner (and @Graeme Bartlett: @Rcborden2:). Can I follow this up with a question? What is the rationale for creating a completely new article on In situ bioremediation without first expanding the existing article on bioremediation, please? I can't help wondering whether an initial merging of some content would be more appropriate into that article, followed by expansion into a new, more detailed article if really necessary. Cheers Nick Moyes (talk) 16:31, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

It is a good idea to improve bioremediation. There is not actually much overlap so a merge would boost that page a lot. My main issue was with the style of name. In situ bioremediation looks to me to be a valid narrowing of the topic for a new article, but Nick Moyes is right, bioremediation should be boosted with content from in situ bioremediation. Perhaps the lede could be copied to yeiled a summary. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:38, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
