Welcome!

Hello, SemiTalia, 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.

Peer Review of Clean Water Rule

Introduction is clear and concise!

Key Provisions: I would add a brief intro paragraph to this section of key provisions so the reader knows what he/she is reading. Are there only 4 key provisions? Are there more provisions? Were these provisions created at the same time?

Background & Development: There are some grammatical errors in this section, making the section a bit difficult to read. Otherwise, it's concise!

Legal Challenges & Opposition: Some sentences are a bit too long, I would review and edit as appropriate.

Future under Trump Administration: This section is great!

Response to Peer Review

Thank you for the suggestion! We had been debating whether or not to have part of the Key Provision section in paragraph form, but I will work on adding a bit of an introduction to make it more clear.SemiTalia (talk) 22:45, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Clean Water Rule does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! DBaK (talk) 07:12, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Risk of or for

Hi. I don't want to be oversensitive but I found this a bit rude. Using an edit summary would help. Not using one looks as if you are slapping down my edit as if it were vandalism or as if you think you own the article. Please have a look at the article I linked in my most recent edit summary, especially the bit where it talks about usage after a gerund. And if you do decide to revert me again, please use an edit summary to explain why. Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 07:17, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I did not realize that I undid an edit that you made and I'm sorry if you thought I was being rude. I should have checked the edit summary first. I will make sure to use an edit summary from now on. SemiTalia (talk) 20:33, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the nice message. Happy editing! Best wishes DBaK (talk) 21:42, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
