Evaluate the drafted changes
Lead

Omit "Basically," in the second sentence.

Introduce your reader to the next topics you will discuss in more detail during the rest of your subtopic. You could say, "Charcoal is processed with macroscopes, and is used to examine the intensity and frequency of fire and its ecological effects."

Organization

Will the Fire Triangle Section go in the Geochemical Evidence section or will you replace that section altogether? It feels a little out of place where it is now. Maybe in the lead where you explain how charcoal is a proxy you could explain why using the fire triangle section.

Content

I might change "prehistoric" to a particular date range/era/epoch.

It feels like the subsection "Disturbance" is the lead to the effects of fire section.

Tone and Balance

Feels good - I think you are neutral and do not over explain or lean too heavily on one source.

Sources and References

Lots of interesting references here that look solid.

Images and Media

I think adding a photo of a ghost forest would be interesting. And maybe a photo of a lab setup in the methods section.

Overall Impressions

Very interesting article, Cornelius! Very clearly written, neutral, and concise. To me, the organization could be improved a little but overall I think this is a great addition to the original Wiki article.
