# [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_planet Rogue planet] for the sentence ''"The researchers estimated from their observations that there are nearly two Jupiter-mass rogue planets for every star in the Milky Way"'' should mention the later 2017 study which cast doubt on that result using a larger population of microlensing events and finding at most one Jupiter-mass rogue planet for every four stars in the Milky Way. <ref>Mróz, P., Udalski, A., Skowron, J., Poleski, R., Kozłowski, S., Szymański, M.K., Soszyński, I., Wyrzykowski, Ł., Pietrukowicz, P., Ulaczyk, K. and Skowron, D., 2017.

# [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_review Life review] - mainly relies on controversial sources such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pim_van_Lommel Pim van Lommel]. This may be a good source to add: ''"Conversely, precognitive visions (e.g., seeing the future) and the experience of life review were among the least frequently reported core features (i.e., occurring <30%)"'' <ref>Charland-Verville, V., Jourdan, J.P., Thonnard, M., Ledoux, D., Donneau, A.F., Quertemont, E. and Laureys, S., 2014.

# [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loess_Platea Loess Plateau] has only six cites, last one dated 2006, doesn't even have the World Bank 2007 cite, and is quite short. Many figures from the World Bank page about the project<ref>[http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2007/03/15/restoring-chinas-loess-plateau Restoring China's Loess Plateau], March 15, 2007

</ref>Including: World Bank contributed about half of the funding (China was still eligible for International Development Association funding at the time of the project) For a cost of around half a billion dollars,more than 2.5 million people were lifted out of poverty, and incomes doubled, employment increased from 70 to 87%. Output per capita increased from 0.366 metric tons to 0.591 metric tons per year, Food security ensured, before the project frequent droughts required occasional government food aid. Now it has changed from a narrow range of food and low-value grain to high value products. Ecological balance restored in a vast area considered to be beyond help by many. Sedimentation of waterways dramatically reduced. Other cites they could use include: Soil erosion was reduced from 6579.55 tons per square kilometer per year to 1986.66 tons.<ref>Wang, X., Xiao, F., Feng, X., Fu, B., Zhou, Z. and Chan, C., 2018.
