please do not introduce a topic without stating the most important detail
wikipedia is infamous at times for this: making the most important detail of a topic hidden or not even findable by link.

ie, for water retention: how much? (no figures or wiki links were stated). Also retention v. heating is mentioned: but the primary detail of whether temperature/heat is more or less: not stated.

ie, for latitude v. longitude: which line measures e-w, which measures n-s ((was) present but hidden)?

i could go on and on. if you have 0 details about your topic please do not use add a new topic paragraph at all.

one reason for this is: we all know soil has moisture - we read about it to be led to more (factual) details in a structured manner

and always: we knew soil had water retention to FIND this article, therefore we would not locate and read the article to simply obtain verbage and to be told soil does retain water: because we would have to have know that before finding the article, and therefore no longer could be looking for that fact
