Welcome!

Hello, Taylorbenda, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Peer Review - Environmental impact of mining

I think the changes you have made so far are really good. The erosion paragraph doesn't have any sources, and the last sentence isn't related to erosion, so it might need some revision. The sinkhole paragraph looks alright, but could use more editing (missing commas) and you could provide an example with a link. I like what you did to the water pollution paragraph. There are still a few typos, like in the third sentence with the word "dues", and maybe change "If proper precautions are not taken" so the flow is better ("are not taken" is repeated twice).

Since water pollution has its own section you could make one for air pollution too. You could also make a history section to talk about how mining 100 or 1000 years ago affected the environment. The different types of mining should have their own heading. I also think mitigation is really important, so you could add to that too. 1smithmon (talk) 01:07, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
