Fog bow

This article discuss what is fog bow and the direction of it, and all the things are related to the article topic. Possibly, it should add more details about how a fog bow is gonna form.This article is neutral, without any personal ideas. Also The resources are reliable since some of them are from the met office and thesis.

This article is within the scope of Wikiproject metrology, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of Metrology on Wikipedia, it rated as stub-class on the project's quality scale and Low importance on importance scale. Also, this article is focusing on the physical properties of fog bow rather than how they are related to the daily life.

Adding citation

Adding citation to Phosphorus cycle.

The input of P in agricultural runoff can accelerate the eutrophication of P-sensitive surface waters.

Copyedit an Article

I tried to find out some grammatical mistakes and edit them to Phosphorus cycle.

1.Original: Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plants and animals. Phosphorus is a limiting nutrient for aquatic organisms.

Edited: Phosphorus is one of the most essential nutrient for plants and animals, since it is is a limiting nutrient for aquatic organisms.

2.Original: However, the processes that move them through the soil or ocean are very slow, making the phosphorus cycle overall one of the slowest biogeochemical cycles.

Edited: However, the process of passing them through the soil or ocean is very slow, making the phosphorus cycle one of the slowest biogeochemical cycles.

3.Original: Humans have greatly influence the phosphorus cycle by mining phosphorus, converting it to fertilizer, and by shipping fertilizer and products around the globe.

Edited: Humans have significantly influenced the phosphorus cycle not only by mining phosphorus, converting it to fertilizer, but also by shipping fertilizer and products around the globe.

Choosing a Topic & Finalizing Sources

The article I've chosen to write about is Phosphorus cycle, and this is the resources that are useful:

Draft (Phosphorus cycle)

Phosphorus and Eutrophication

A simplified illustration of the nitrogen and phosphorus cycles in a wetland (modified from Kadlec and Knight (1996), “Treatment Wetlands”; images from IAN, University of Maryland).

Eutrophication is an enrichment of water by nutrient that lead to structural changes to the aquatic ecosystem such as algae bloom, deoxygenation, reduction of fish species. The primary source that contributes to the eutrophication is considered as nitrogen and phosphorus. When these two elements exceed the capacity of the water body, eutrophication occurs. Phosphorus that enters lakes will accumulate in the sediments and the biosphere, it also can be recycled from the sediments and the water system. Drainage water from agricultural land also carries phosphorus and nitrogen. Since a large amount of phosphorous are in the soil contents, so the overuse of fertilizers and over-enrichment with nutrients will lead to increasing the amount of phosphorus concentration in agricultural runoff. When eroded soil enters the lake, both phosphorus and the nitrogen in the soil contribute to eutrophication, and erosion caused by deforestation which also results from uncontrolled planning and urbanization.

Wetland

Wetlands are frequently applied to solve the issue of eutrophication. Nitrate is transformed in wetlands to free nitrogen and discharged to the air.  Phosphorus is adsorbed by wetland soils which are taken up by the plants. Therefore, wetlands could help to reduce the concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus to remit and solve the eutrophication. However, wetland soils can only hold a limited amount of phosphorus. To remove phosphorus continually, it is necessary to add more new soils within the wetland from remnant plant stems, leaves, root debris, and undecomposable parts of dead algae, bacteria, fungi, and invertebrates.

Peer Review of 1/Varelasara

This draft describes the formation of glacial lakes and explains the impact of glacial lakes on ecosystems and human society. It used several subtitles which make the structure of the article clearer and more concise also, the usage of pictures also makes the article less monotonous. Most of the sources are reliable which is from journal and books, and some of them are from the scientific website. In my opinion, using sentences rather than point form would better. In conclusion, this draft is excellent which contain specific details and easy for understanding.

Peer Review of 2/Polidoroal

This is a great constructed draft that contained specific details about the groundwater recharge, which is also written in a neutral tone. It is excellent that you combined climatology to hydrology. The cited picture you provided is also helpful for understanding and the sources you used are reliable. Therefore, It is easy for me to understand what will affect the groundwater recharge and enrich my knowledge as well. Overall, you did a great job!

Responds to Peer Review

I got four reviews of my draft from my classmate, and all of them gave me some helpful advises, for example RaeLago helped me figure out some grammatical errors and fixed it for me. Also, Eric Jin ,Yunbing Song and emilycalvin's help me to figure out how to improve my article. I am so gald that my article has been reviewed by several classmates, and thank you so much.

Reflective Essay

Before this semester's Wikipedia project, I am a knowledge learner, who only acquired the knowledge throughout the Wikipedia. But after this Wikipedia assignment, I realized how rigorous it is to complete an article. It is necessary not only to search a large amount of sources which should be all reliable, but also with a clear paragraph and structure. Weekly schedule help us understand how to finish this assignment step by step, and what should be included in our works.

The article I choose to improve is 'phosphorus cycle' which is C-CLASS as quality scale and has been rated as High-importance on the importance scale. In the previous, this article only covered about some basic knowledge about phosphorus cycle, for example what is phosphorus, and how this cycle works. However, I think that excessive phosphorus will also have serious problems in the cycle. Therefore, I do some research about eutrophication and how to solve the eutrophication. Also, I added a graph to illustrate the eutrophication solution. Also, n the process of adding images, I found that it is not as simple as putting the images directly. A series of rigorous reviews and detailed sources are essentially required.

On the peer review, one is Polidoroal and the other is Varelasara. Both of them did a very good job on their draft article which inspired me a lot. I also gave suggestions to Varelasara about using some sentence rather than point form, which will be much precise. Also, I have understood that how to use the talk page in the wikipedia to help others.

I received three feedbacks from Eric Jin, RaeLago and Yunbing Song. Their suggestions help me to improve my work a lot, for example Raelago figured out several sentences with some grammatical errors and help me to fix it.

Overall, the Wikipedia assignment is special and useful, which is different to my other assignment. It teach me a lot about how to finish an article in a precise way, for example, how to do the citation and avoid plagiarism, and how to find a reliable a source. In my future study life, I would help other article to become more precise with more reliable sources, which will be not only helpful for me to acquire knowledge but also to the reader.
