Online Volunteer Review
Great information! I've made some punctuation edits in the article, you can check View history for the changes. Conservation Banking: Revision history

Some notes:
 * Make links only where they are relevant to the context
 * Avoid overlinking the same article multiple times or linking to names of major geographic locations, per Manual of Style/Linking,
 * In the Future outlook section, you mention the "DOI" -- Department of the Interior? I think this should be expanded to the full name the first time it is mentioned.
 * Remove the "Notes" section, unless you plan to add something.
 * The last sentence in the Credits section, "Current data suggests that conservation credits range in price from a low of $1500 per mitigation of a Gopher Tortoise to as much as $325,000 for vernal pool preservation. (9)" Is that (9) meant to be a citation/reference?

Awesome job creating a new article!

Hey Allen,

Really enjoyed your page, this is so relevant to my interests! I'm surprised I didn't learn more about this in my other classes. I thought your page was well structured and informative, (nice addition with the connection to the ESA - interesting).

Just a couple of thoughts while I was reading: I thought the Locations Currently Used section is an awesome example, but I had a hard time reading it, the flow seemed off to me. Maybe talk about the locations and habitats first and then the species afterwards? The last sentence seems like it would fit better with the top portion.

Also, maybe include a link to the “Federal Guidance for the Establishment, Use, and Operation of Mitigation Banks” with the in-text citation.

GREAT JOB!
Allen and Bobbi

Great work with this page! It is very well written and informative. I hope you found the edits I made useful. One more thing I think you should look at is the "Locations currently used" section. It states that there are 10 states approved for conservation banks, but then 13 states are listed. Furthermore, California is not included in this list, but there is a paragraph about California species and habitats. This confused me.

Let's Add Some Links
Nice work! Now don't hide your light under a bushel. The more you can link this article with other related articles (in both directions) the more it will be read and used. Aarf613 (talk) 03:49, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

I just went through the links from the find link tool and added about 7 incoming links. Aarf613 (talk) 04:10, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Great Job!!
Excellent job explaining conservation banking! However I do have one suggestion, are there any limitations or drawbacks from conservation banking? If so, that could be a good section to include on this page. Otherwise, great job!
