Peer Review - Halite
[edit]The article for Halite is very limited, so I would try to focus on broad topics instead of very specific facts about salt. I like your idea of adding a historical section and expanding on uses. Maybe you can also add a chemistry section about the molecule and how salt is formed. Also, you could talk about how humans extract/produce salt and the environmental impacts it creates. Your first source doesn't seem like a reputable source, but the third one looks good. I noticed the article has a few typos and there aren't a lot of sources, so you could read through it and improve what's already written too. 1smithmon (talk) 00:19, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
Response
[edit]I am doing research on Halite← formation and extraction. I plan on continuing the expansion of Uses and History too. I need to first kearn about the Extraction methods before i can articulate any enviromental impact, but thats definately a good idea. I also plan on adding a section on different Colors of Halite as this relates to chemical imperfections which came about during the formation of Halite, it is really beyond my understanding so that part will take time to describe sufficiently. Before I actually edit the article itself i will put everything on Microsoft Word as it is a more user friendly software then move everything back to wikipedia.
