Update

Hey

You seem to be very busy working away on cleaning up wikipedia articles! You seem to know the area of environmental waste management well. I'd just remind you to cite sources and avoid overusing lists. Any problems so far? Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 15:24, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I have a problem is that, when I want to save my changes in Discussion, Wikipedia tells me to log out first, and refresh the web page. Why does it happen? What should I do to avoid this problem? Thank you. --Silverbullet527 18:33, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Moved bibliography to Sandbox, plus general chat

Hi Silverbullet,

I've moved your bibliography from here to your sandbox: User:Silverbullet527/Sandbox since it's normally easier to keep this page for discussions and that one for drafts and notes etc. I noticed you added the list to the article's talk page too, that's good practice, letting other editors know what you're planning to do and see where you're working from reassures them that' one's not up to not good.

Regarding the bibliography itself, you've done good work assembling a list of possible sources, but that's no use except for writing the article! You've mentioned two thematic sections to the article, but I think you should draft the structure a bit more fully, nothing big, just a list of section and subsection titles, this will help you get your own head around the structure of the article. Make sure your sources are scholarly (as in academic books and articles, then reports by respected agencies and institutions.) and secondary. I feel introductory textbooks in geography, environmental economics and urban planning/design would be a good place to start. They would also have a good style which discusses theory but illustrates that with examples, while mentioning major projects.

While following your course guidelines and timeline, I'd go ahead and start writing the article asap. I'll do a more detailed read over soon. I'll naturally be able to give more detailed feedback as you start writing since I'm only getting acquainted with the topic now. Best wishes,--Ktlynch (talk) 10:24, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
