The author is improving upon the existing article of soil management Wikipedia. Soil management is the uses a variety of treatments and methods aimed at enhancing the performance of soil. The author has renamed two headings so that Environment became Environmental Impact and Advantage of soil management became Advantages. By doing this, the author has made it so that the article is organized better and flows more logically. These sections were expanded upon along with the section called Practices. Within the Environmental Impact section, the author did a good job at filling in key gaps. However, it was noted that articles 4, 5, 6, and 7 are not reviews. Wikipedia guidelines suggests that secondary sources be used when writing an article rather than a primary research paper. However, if the research paper has been evaluated by the scholarly community and published by a reputable academic press then it should be alright to use it. For example, article 7 was published in Science, which is a well-known and peer reviewed source. Additionally, it presents a neutral point of view and should therefore be alright to use. Within the Practices segment small additions were written which were relevant to the section of the article. The author should remove the nutrient management bullet since the newly added bullets of organic matter and fertilizers cover the same information. Lastly, two more bullets were added into the advantages section. It would help to expand on the points in a similar manner to what was done in the Practices section. This way, knowledge gaps would be filled and the organization would be consistent. Also, sources should be added to the advantages section so that the readers know where this information came from.
