[edit] Different types of commercial topsoil
Based on the external links policy, with particular attention to No. 5 under "Links normally to be avoided", I removed the following external link: Different types of commercial topsoil.
Commercial links are sometimes constructive but not all that often; this situation only occurs when it is a cited source of encyclopedic content about the subject at the site, but not when the primary purpose of the external site is to sell something related to the Wikipedia article. -- Paleorthid 16:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Miscellaneous
"It takes approximately 500 years for one inch of topsoil to be deposited, but there are 25 billion tons of topsoil lost each year."
That last sentence conjoins two unrelated measurements. How many tons in an inch of topsoil, or how many 'inches' is 25 billion tons? Should be fixed or removed. The gesture of the data therein is good, just needs to be refined. --Ikyork 18:15, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removed External Links
They were basically spam. Linked to garden supply store, without even the pretext of an article about soil. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.56.83.223 (talk) 03:55, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Merging with Humus?
It seems like this word is used synonymously with humus. I think it would be better if we focused on improving the quality of one article. Impin | {talk - contribs} 16:36, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
