Feedback

Nice start on your draft. Some things that could be improved

Your lead section should start out by saying what the article is about. Instead of saying "The Mountain Valley Pipeline is a joint venture project" say something more like "The Mountain Valley Pipeline is a proposed 42 inch natural gas pipeline". Make sure that there's nothing in the lead that doesn't already exist in the body of the article.
Rely less on the sources that come from the company itself. Sources like www.mountainvalleypipeline.info and (to a lesser extent) the EIS are promotional - they shouldn't be treated the same way that neutral third-party sources are.
Have a look at some of the articles in Category:Crude oil pipelines in the United States and Category:Proposed pipelines in the United States for some ideas about layout for the article. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 10:37, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
