Hi, I removed your addition to the environmental effects section of this article for two main reasons. The first is that the environmental claim was backed up with a source by Vice, which is not really seen as a reliable source on here in general because they engage in gonzo journalism. What this essentially means is that the magazine takes a fast and loose point of view with factchecking and verification. While they don't intend to publish things that aren't 100% correct, they don't do the type of factchecking that an academic journal would. It's not really the best source to use on the article, especially given that the EO is very controversial. The most controversial topics tend to be the articles that are scrutinized the most, so you need to make sure that you're using the best possible sources.

The other content I removed because it didn't really fit into the section since it dealt with eminent domain and homeowners. It wasn't really an environmental effect per se, so it didn't belong in that section. There's already an eminent domain section that discusses some of this. I think that this may be something that would be better as an external link to the main archive site, The Wall. You could also post on the talk page asking where the mention of the non-Trump related case could fit into this article as well. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:31, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
