Welcome!
editHello, Dparida7, 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.

Sustainable measurement article's peer review
editReference needed in the content under the The sustainable need and framework title.
Check for commas that are missing in different sentences. Also for more references to verify the information in the Metrics' section.
The title " Economics, oil, and energy" does not have any content and it also has different word sizing.
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.
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.
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?

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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dvecheve (talk • contribs) 04:22, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
Response for the feedbacks from Mochen Liao
editThank you for your positive feedback for the "biochar" article I have edited. The endorsement of the work encourages me a lot. For the suggestions you provided,I write the relevant responses below.
As to the recent developments of biochar production, the hydrothermal carbonization technology has the potential to produce biochar with high carbon content from wet biomass.[1] However, there is a controversy in defining the product from this type of wet process. Sparse articles define them as “hydrochar” in order to distinguish charcoal produced from dry processes and from wet processes.[1][2] Therefore I didn't put these contents into the Wikipedia article.
Sure, the properties and contents of Biochar should be an important part of the biochar article, and I plan to write a new section in the article to describe the properties of biochar. However, since different applications of biochar refer to different types of biochar properties, it is not easy to cover the suitable aspects in this section, and the lack of theoretical definition of boundary conditions of biochar also hinders the writing. Up to now I add the description of the most common biochar properties in the article.[3] You can check and provide some more constructive suggestions.
The relationship between the feedstock types and the product yields have not been investigated in detail. Also, even for the same series of biomass, the spatial and temporal variation of the growth of biomass will lead to a large variety of biomass properties, thus influencing their pyrolysis performances.[4] Therefore it is not suitable to provide the list of biomasses in the Wikipedia article.
