Consider merging environmental and following sub headings into their own subheading separate from "Global rare-earth production" as these are distinct enough to warrant their own section.Belangier (talk) 17:49, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Something to consider. During my research, I have found tables with health effects for a specific element. These were in open access journals. Could we post these without violating wikis copyright policy? Something to consider and inquire about.Belangier (talk) 17:49, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

while looking at the article 'rare-earth elements' your content seems to stick on topic and is unbiased.

as the content is mainly looking at rare earth and their relation to different geographic aspects (as an example one topic was in agriculture), it would be good to also see a relation to mining these rare earth and where they may be found, perhaps linking to other Wikipedia articles.

looking at references for your article, most seem to be in relation to either your articles or impacts on health, which the majority of your content has been aimed at, which is good.

Thank you very much I appreciate your feedback. It's nice to see that we are mostly on the right track with our ideas. I appreciate your comment about where they may be found. It has me thinking that we could do a better job of establishing the sources of these in industry and how they may escape into the environment (specific processes, point sources of pollution, etc). I also agree that some of origin material for some of these REE is lacking. This may be due to the habit of these materials to be found together? If I happen across some material that I can understand and isn't too jargon-full for me I will make a point of updating those sections. --Belangier (talk) 23:20, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
