A warning about certain sources There is one source on the subject of Hydraulic fracturing in the United Kingdom that represents a Citogenesis or Circular Reporting risk to Wikipedia as they plagiarize verbatim, directly from Wikipedia.[6] Edits which created that version can be found here and in the following edit from 12 August 2013. The source is 'Nicholas P. Cheremisinoff, Anton Davletshin, edited by Mohit Dayal; (2015) Hydraulic Fracturing Operations: Handbook of Environmental Management Practices, pub.

Environmental impact

This section is very messy and not encyclopedic. Further, the first three references in the section were dead so I have fixed them along with some basic readability changes. I haven't checked the others, but likely some dead links in there too. Crucially, the first reference in the entire page (used 8 times) was dead, which isn't a great advert for the page.

I'm keen to improve this section in a balanced way, my interest being driven by the recent Supreme Court ruling on the Horse Hill facility in Sussex, and the way downstream Scope 3 emissions are accounted in EIAs for fracking projects in the UK.

I'll keep chipping away and may make some larger single edits where content is repetitive and can be brought into a better paragraph. I'll see how I go. Overall, very surprised how undeveloped this section is considering the amount of attention fracking has in the news over the last 10 years. PutTheKettleOn (talk) 10:14, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
