Hi, I reverted your addition to Ocean acidification. For one thing, you made a value judgment, which is WP:Original research. If the WP:Reliable sources say one way is better than another, we can report that. But you said it with no source at all. The rest of the section seemed to be based on a school research paper that did not pass our RS test. See WP:SCHOLARSHIP NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:03, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, sorry about that. New to all of this, just trying to positively contribute. I am fairly certain that the idea of cultivating algae could be a viable method to remediate ocean acidifcation, distinct from iron fertilization, but am unable to find research that directly addresses the subject. I thought research that showing that algae raises the pH of water it is grown in would be sufficient to support the idea that growing algae could theoretically abate ocean acidification. So in the absence of research that addresses the subject directly, how do you think I should proceed? I do intend to do original research on the subject once I've gotten to that point in my career, but I'm unfortunately not quite there yet.

Thanks for your input.
