Lead
The lead section of the Wikipedia article on Environmental Psychology provides an overview of the field, which examines the relationship between humans and their natural and built environment. The lead section provides a good overview of the topic's historical context and foundational theories. Also, the article offers a scope regarding some key concepts of place identity, place attachment, and nature restoration, essential in understanding human-environment interactions.

Article body
Reading through the article body on Environmental Psychology, I noticed that it does not specifically address one of Wikipedia's equity gaps. It primarily focuses on general concepts, history, applications, research methods, and interdisciplinary connections. While it mentions diverse environments and populations in a broad sense, it does not emphasize coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects.

Interdisciplinary oriented
Environmental psychology relies on interaction with other disciplines in order to approach problems with from multiple perspectives. The first discipline is the category of behavioral sciences, which includes: sociology, political science, anthropology, and economics. Environmental psychology also interacts with the inter-specializations  (require alternate word) of the field of psychology, which include: developmental psychology, cognitive science, industrial and organizational psychology, psychobiology, psychoanalysis, and social neuroscience. In addition to the more scientific fields of study, environmental psychology also works with the design field which includes: the studies of architecture, interior design, urban planning, industrial and object design, landscape architecture, and preservation. (Adding example of how build environment effect on individual psychologically.)

Respond to Peer Review
After reviewing the feedback and suggestions from the peer review, I made several changes to my contribution. I returned to the paragraph and added the hyperlinks to the behavioral sciences category to ensure it flows with the other sentences about another field of psychology that plays a role in environmental psychology. I utilized the resources I found and added an example or detail to show that the environmental factor can impact an individual psychologically to fill in the information gaps. I also read through the paragraph and made some changes to the sentence structure to ensure it flows smoothly.

Environmental psychology also interacts with the inter-specializations of the field of psychology, which include: developmental psychology, cognitive science, industrial and organizational psychology, psychobiology, psychoanalysis, and social neuroscience. In addition to the more scientific fields of study, environmental psychology closely connect with the build environment. For instance, the green building designs promoting well-being and urban planning initiatives encouraging social interaction. Environmental psychology works with the design field which includes: the studies of architecture, interior design, urban planning, industrial and object design, landscape architecture, and preservation. Instructor Feedback:

''There are too many paragraphs repeating the same information and it is difficult for me as a reviewer to see which one is the current proposed contribution. I have layered edits into the top two (italics). Since I have already graded your response to peer review, I would suggest cleaning up your sandbox. The citation included is an example of peer-reviewed secondary literature and it is appropriately integrated. There are issues with the citation (in gray) that need to be manually corrected. I encourage you to review the final assignment rubric so you are clear on the areas I will be evaluating for this assignment. I would also bring over more of the published Wikipedia article. This will make it clearer to me how your proposed edits integrate into the flow of the existing article.''
