I am considering adding five new citations to the page Asbestos Cement.

^[1] This source will expand the article's depth of the material itself- its water absorption, density and porosity, stability, and strength.

^[2] This source will be useful to expand how asbestos cement is made, and why asbestos makes for a durable fibre.

^[3] This source is more case-specific about how asbestos cement holds up against fire. This could be an important example of asbestos cement in conditions other than rain and runoff, as is mentioned currently in the article.

^[4] This source lays out the common places asbestos cement is found. This is briefly mentioned on the current article page, but with no citations.

^[5] The article briefly mentions the cleaning of asbestos cement and the potential health dangers of doing so. This article would be a great way to expand upon current health risks for those who already have asbestos cement in their homes or workplaces and are considering what to do next.

kalkot's Edits for HSPV 540

First of all, you're off to a great start. I would suggest adding more links to other wikipedia pages to toughen up your entry, that way you personally have to explain less, while explaining more (i.e. cellulose, WWII, Australia, fiber-reinforced concrete). I would also love it if you could bring in examples. I'm pretty sure this is the stuff that clad my grandma's house (obviously a bad example to share on the world wide web, but you get the idea). Do I have to sign this? Kalkot (talk) 03:20, 21 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Your peer reviewer has made some good suggestions. In particular, I'd focus on adding wikilinks to other articles and perhaps adding some more examples to the existing "Products used in the building industry" section of the article. In your sources, consider applying Template:Cite web to make the unadorned URL citations more informative.
