Could perhaps use some expansion

This new article could perhaps use some expansion and the section on the "Nitrogen cycle" could use a review by a biology editor to see that it is worded correctly. It was written from scratch and, to the best of my knowledge, does not contain any Wikipedia content. Milton Beychok 19:32, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Revisions of expansion of "Nitrogen cycle" section.

First, let me thank you,Thomas Sulcer, for expanding the "Nitrogen cycle" section of this article. I revised references 5 and 6 to remove the unnecessary and somewhat lengthy quotes from the references. The references can speak for themselves. In my opinion, it is more important to provide some source reference credentials rather than quotes ... and my revisions do that.

My revisions also use a simpler format (on the edit page) rather than the "cite news" template. In any event, neither reference came from a print newspaper ... one came from an online textbook and the other from an online college course. Once again, thanks.

Thomas (or may I call you Tom?), I also made various edits to your expansion of the "Nitrogen cycle" section for the purpose of shortening the section and hopefully clarifying/simplifying it. I managed to shorten it by 825 bytes which admittedly is not all that much. Milton Beychok 01:52, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
