Planned edit

An alert reader wrote to OTRS and raised a question about the sentence:

As a result of it's long history with coal Britain's coal reserves have been depleted,

The sentence was added by @Michael Isaiah Schmidt: in this edit

I note that the reference following the sentence is a dead link.

The reader provided this link which documents reserves of 3,196 million tonnes, which sounds inconsistent with the word "deleted".

My suggestion is to simply remove the sentence but I'm open to alternatives.--S Philbrick (Talk) 15:35, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it to "reduced" but the sentence is awkward and could be re-worded. Kendall-K1 (talk) 11:27, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the old (?lost) worldenergy.org survey document link to use the page 'Coal in United Kingdom' -- also to perhaps clarify the correctly stated depletion of reserves (economically recoverable reserves vs. potentially economic resources). Thanks. 2015.ww (talk) 06:21, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for recovering the source. I have fixed the text to better match the source. Kendall-K1 (talk) 11:11, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
