Another topic

Ask your teacher for another homework topic. It is unlikely that you can usefully contribute to phosphate. --Smokefoot (talk) 16:39, 26 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Smokefoot!

Thank you for your concern- I hope I can address it! My professor specifically chose the phosphate page as suitable for someone from our biogeochemistry class to work on.

I can see why he chose it- it's an important topic in biogeochemistry, so it's relevant to our course. Also, the Wikipedia page is a class C page, indicating it has plenty of room for improvement. Looking at the page, I can see a number of places that are short on information or have uncited statements, and a number of suggestions for improvements in the talk page that were never implemented.

Please let me know if you have more specific concerns and I would be happy to use them to inform my edits! Squi190 (talk) 19:31, 28 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
