Welcome!
Hello, Dvecheve, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:10, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Sustainability measurement peer review response
Reference needed in the content under The sustainable need and framework title. I have added reference no. 5 and 6 in this paragraph and have corrected the grammatical mistakes in the paragraph (added commas wherever required). Reference 5- Martins, António A.; Mata, Teresa M.; Costa, Carlos A. V.; Sikdar, Subhas K. (2007-05-01). "Framework for Sustainability Metrics". Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research. 46 (10): 2962–2973. doi:10.1021/ie060692l. ISSN 0888-5885. Reference 6- "Cedars - ICF". cedarscenter.com. Retrieved 2019-02-25. '''Check for commas that are missing in different sentences. Also, for more references to verify the information in the Metrics' section.''' Commas added and grammatical corrections •	In the last couple of decades, *added comma •	of the organization *grammatical correction •	have become *grammatical correction •	Global Report Initiative *was repeated twice •	and particular, *added comma •	inter-grade *grammatical correction Deleted the sub-heading “2010 Biodiversity Indicators Partnership”, as it did not have any paragraphs to explain it and did not fit the article’s sequence. Did not add more references because the main points of the paragraph have already been linked to a Wikipedia page of their own. Those Wikipedia pages have enough information of their own and does not require any further citation of references. Will still look for reliable and useful sources for the points that needs to be cited. The title " Economics, oil, and energy" does not have any content and it also has different word sizing. I have deleted the heading as it did not have much substantial information for the article. It did not fit in the sequence and was off topic. Will look for information related to it if I find any reliable source, but at this moment I was not able to find any hence deleted the title because it looked very odd to have a title without any content. '''Reference needed in the content titled "Energy return on energy investment" (e.g. When oil production first began in the mid-nineteenth century, the largest oil fields recovered fifty barrels of oil for every barrel used in the extraction, transportation, and refining [x]. This ratio is often referred to as the Energy Return on Energy Investment (EROI or EROEI). Currently, between one and five barrels of oil are recovered for each barrel-equivalent of energy used in the recovery process [y]. As the EROEI drops to one, or equivalently the Net energy gain falls to zero, the oil production is no longer a net energy source [z]. This happens long before the resource is physically exhausted.). The same comment applies to the following sentence which also needs references. ''' Have added reference no. 23 and 24. Also have added link to a Wikipedia page for the heading “Energy returned in energy invested”. extraction, transportation, and refining. *commas added

'''Improve the order of the content. A suggestion is to improve the flow of the article to engage the audience in the lecture by adding a brief explanation to each heading. I absolutely agree to your point. Am working on finding titles that would improve the flow of the articles without disturbing much the current content and index. At this point of time I have deleted titles of “2010 Biodiversity Indicators Partnership” and “Economics, oil and energy”, because they did not have any content and paragraph to it. Am still trying to find relevant topics and sub-topics for this article and will make the changes to increase the appeal and flow of this article for the readers. In addition to connecting the ideas behind the explanation for the Metrics at the global scale and the Hubbert peaks. What is the relevance of these two headings to the article? And how do they relate to a sustainability measurement?''' Have given brief explanation for their relevance: Metrics at global scale-Every parameter, characteristic, function, operation, effect, input, output, energy, etc involved in a process could be taken as a metric and can be used as a basis for sustainability measurement. This leads to numerous metrics and it becomes difficult for an organization to select metrics that will be beneficial to their purpose. There is a high chance of selection of a metric that would be of no value and would be give little or no significance for the process. In order to organize the chaos and disorder in selecting the metrics, specific organizations have been set up which groups the metrics under different categories and defines proper methodology to implement it for measurement. They even provide modelling techniques and indexes to compare the measurement and have methods to convert the scientific measurement results into east to understand terms. Hubbert Peaks- Hubbert peak can be used as a metric for sustainability and depletion of non-renewable resources. It can be used as reference for many metrics for non-renewable resources such as:[35] 1.	Stagnating supplies 2.	Rising prices 3.	Individual country peaks 4.	Decreasing discoveries 5.	Finding and development costs 6.	Spare capacity 7.	Export capabilities of producing countries 8.	System inertia and timing 9.	Reserves-to-production ratio 10.	Past history of depletion and optimism

'''Reference related Reference [12] does not open the external link, the same applies to [13], [19]. Not sure how reliable is reference number [26] since the links show some slides that reference "Source: World Bank World Development Indicators" but does not come from a business report/database. Suggestion: Double check the reference to verify that the links or titles are verified sources.''' I checked reference 12, 13 and 19, and they were opening for me as external links. For reference number 26, the information on the slides and the graphs provided, has been cited to reliable sources of WTO (World Merchandise Export Growth 1951-2005), Maddison (GDP growth 1951-1970), IMF WEO (GDP growth 1971-2005), World Bank World Development Indicators, UNESCO Statistics of Educational Attainment and Literacy, UN World Population Prospects, IMF World Economic Outlook. I believe they are from reliable sources and the data provided in the slide has be properly referred.Dparida7 (talk) 07:03, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
