• Well this is a major article on a genuinely vital topic. It's well-written and fully-cited.

• Many complex technical matters are explained clearly and concisely, with suitable diagrams.

• I've made some very small copy-edits.

• It's a miracle that Climate of Antarctica is linked only in the 'See also' list. Surely it should be linked somewhere.

• The article is marked EngvarB. Should it not be in either British or American English?

• Several of the diagrams have text labels way too small to be legible at the chosen scale; either the images or the text labels need to be enlarged (or both). I think you'll find it obvious which are the culprits here, but I'll list'em if need be.

• Consider adding an image of one of the mosses named in the text which has responded to climate change. You could use the multiple image template to put 2 images side-by-side, for example.

• The king penguin image has a helpful caption; the Atlantic krill and gentoo penguin images do not. Why are they in the article? The text gives hints which the captions should summarize. It is advisable to repeat the citations in the captions.

• Please wikilink Deschampsia antarctica and Colobanthus quitensis in the caption, and introduce them as "the flowering plants".

• The many sources are largely scientific journal papers, i.e. of good quality, and they are clearly relevant to the subject.

• Consider using |display-authors=5 (or near offer) for sources with many authors.

• Multiple journalists said these findings were "contradictory" to global warming,[35][36][37][38][39][40] - this is basically synthesis from a set of primary sources. What is needed here is a single statement in a book or review article that makes the point directly.

• This kind of collapse is now considered almost inevitable because it appears to have occurred during the Eemian period 125,000 years ago, when temperatures were similar to those in the early 21st century.[97][98][17][18][99] isn't synthesis but does look like over-citation.

• [133] should say International Union for Conservation of Nature.

• [134] should be attributed to Hayley Dunning.

• [135] should say American Bureau of Shipping.

• Spot-checks: [3], [16], [26], [41], [57], [86] ok.

• This is a well-constructed article and I've noted only very minor issues, along with a few suggestions for small improvements. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:38, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Thank you for picking this up so swiftly! Beginning to respond to feedback now. InformationToKnowledge (talk) 21:22, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Great. If you could reply briefly to each item ("Done" is enough) that'd be helpful. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:09, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
