1 May 2023

  • 14:4414:44, 1 May 2023 diff hist +45 m Motagua RiverMade the sub-heading formatting universal across the article. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:4014:40, 1 May 2023 diff hist −4 m Motagua RiverRemoved a link for a word that had already been linked earlier in the article. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:3814:38, 1 May 2023 diff hist −99 Motagua RiverThe last two sentence focus on independent organization that have also undertaken conservation efforts targeted primarily towards the river. The latter was a sentence already included in the article, which I slightly changed to remove the causal clause "As such" and replaced it with also to better fit into the flow of my edits and to improve clarity. I also edited the source to better reflect the sourcing of my edits. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:3514:35, 1 May 2023 diff hist +1,017 Motagua RiverThe next two sentences describe some of the measures that the Guatemalan government has undertaken in an effort to combat the pollution issues concerning the river, as well as for the country at large. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:3414:34, 1 May 2023 diff hist +303 Motagua RiverThe first two sentences contextualize one aspect of the need for conservation, which is the right of the people to safe drinking water. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:3214:32, 1 May 2023 diff hist +557 Motagua RiverThe next two sentences maintain balance by discussing the human related consequences of the pollution, which can be just as drastic as those experienced by marine life. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:3114:31, 1 May 2023 diff hist +363 Motagua RiverThe first two sentences of the outcomes section focus more on the environmental consequences of the pollution, particularly on the marine environments in which the pollution flows into. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:2914:29, 1 May 2023 diff hist +146 Motagua RiverThe last sentence provides another perspective on the issue, which is how many people living on the river also contribute to the issue, which increases the balance of the article so that it does not focus entirely on the government. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:2814:28, 1 May 2023 diff hist +294 Motagua RiverThe new sentence I added replaced an old sentence, but carries essentially the same information. The original sentence, however, including a quotation that did not exist from the sources that were originally linked to the article. Thus, I edited the sentence to eliminate the quotation while maintaining the original author's voice, and included an appropriate and verifiable citation. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:2614:26, 1 May 2023 diff hist +909 Motagua RiverThe next two sentences focus on the governmental policy surrounding the maintenance of water quality in rivers, which is again, important context that highlights the source of many of the issues surrounding continued polluting of the river. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:2414:24, 1 May 2023 diff hist +554 Motagua RiverThe first sentence describes water quality assessments in Guatemala in general, and provides important contextual information about pollution in the Motagua River specifically. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:2314:23, 1 May 2023 diff hist +607 Motagua RiverMy first section is a very brief history section, which I feel is more relevant to Pollution than it is to the history section itself because it is very directly related and highlights the longevity of the issue as well as the recurring issues that contribute to the continued pollution that we see today. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:2014:20, 1 May 2023 diff hist +288 Motagua RiverHere I edited the sentence. First I added a verifiable source to the claim. Next, I linked a few of the terms in the sentence to other Wikipedia pages, as these terms are important for the reader to understand. Lastly, I deleted the lead in to the sentence about the lake, which I determined to be not relevant to the topic at hand. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:1714:17, 1 May 2023 diff hist 0 m Motagua RiverI capitalized R in river here to maintain consistency with the other references in the article. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:1514:15, 1 May 2023 diff hist +74 Motagua RiverFor the pollution section, I added four sub-categories, as this spreads out the information logically and ensures that the section does not seem too overbearing. As such, I can include sufficient information about a very relevant topic pertaining to a contemporary understanding of the article without losing the balance that I have strived to maintain throughout. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:1314:13, 1 May 2023 diff hist +289 Motagua RiverThe final two sentences of the history section provide more in-depth information about the river's use as a trade route. This improves the balance of the section to discuss more practical uses beyond just jade. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:1114:11, 1 May 2023 diff hist +144 Motagua RiverThe next sentence that I added improves the balance of the article by including the major site Copan, which complements the existing discussion of another important site Quirigua. I also added verifiable sources to the information already in the article about the latter. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:0914:09, 1 May 2023 diff hist +886 Motagua RiverThe next three sentences discuss the next notable Indigenous civilization to occupy the river area, the Maya. Similarly to the previous sentences about the Olmec, they are primarily connected to the use of jade. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:0714:07, 1 May 2023 diff hist −33 Motagua RiverThe next two sentences discuss the Olmec people. I also fixed some of the previously added citations, as there were a few duplicates. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:0414:04, 1 May 2023 diff hist +707 Motagua RiverThe first paragraph of the History section discusses jadeitite, and the two sentences following the original sentence discuss green and blue-green jade respectively. The sentences describe two notable re-discoveries of the resource, as well as introducing the Indigenous communities that used the resource, which will be expanded upon further in the next paragraph. Tag: Visual edit
  • 14:0214:02, 1 May 2023 diff hist +559 Motagua RiverI split the first sentence of the history section into two sentences, as both discuss important topics that I will expand on further. I also added verifiable citations to both claims, which the original text lacked. Tag: Visual edit
  • 13:4513:45, 1 May 2023 diff hist −22 Motagua RiverI changed the "World's most polluted river" section heading to Pollution, as I find that Pollution is a more neutral title and is more indicative of what the section attempts to prove. The new section will both focus on the pollution and some of the ways in which the issue is being alleviated, which might not fit as well under the "World's most polluted river" title, which is more pessimistic. Tag: Visual edit
  • 13:4213:42, 1 May 2023 diff hist −1 Motagua RiverI changed the Overview section to History, as the term overview is very broad and does not really reflect the information that the section contains. I find that history accomplishes this better, and provides more balance to the article. Tag: Visual edit
  • 13:3913:39, 1 May 2023 diff hist +1 m Motagua RiverI added a space in the tributaries section, fixing a grammatical error. Tag: Visual edit
