Pollution from nanomaterials

Hi Martin! I had to revert your edits to pollution from nanomaterials for a few reasons, one of which is that it was placed at the very end of the article and not worked into the existing structure. There were also some other things I wanted to note:

• The content still has issues when it comes to original research. Avoid phrases like "it goes without saying", as this is seen as your own opinion and research on the topic. Readers may differ as far as research and opinions are concerned. Essentially we can only summarize what has already been explicitly stated in the source material rather than synthesizing and building upon this work.

• Some of the content is unsourced - I know that there are some sources, however all major claims need to be backed up with a reliable source. I know you already have this training, but I'm linking it just in case it would be helpful.

• With the general writing style, make sure that it fits Wikipedia's manual of style. When adding to or creating new articles, I sometimes like to look at existing articles and see how they're structured and written in order to get an idea of how the article should be written.

I don't want this to discourage you - Wikipedia is very specific about its formatting and style guidelines, which can take some time to adjust to. I know that it certainly does for most editors, which includes myself and most of the editors I know on Wikipedia! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:08, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
