"Climate Change" Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article? Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Climate Change is a semi-protected article on Wikipedia. Why do you think this is? Is it a good or a bad thing? Check the "talk" page of the articles - what is the Wikipedia community discussing when it comes to representing these issues? How is the article ranked on Wikipedia's quality scale?
 * Facts are cited with reliable references
 * Sub-topics were all relevant to article topic.
 * For the most part the article is neutral, with only a minor part that may be considered biased towards indicating that humans are largely responsible for global warming, however, they do not explore this topic in detail and instead discuss other factors that are likely influencing global warming.
 * Most of the information comes from peer-reviewed journals, some sources include panels or council meetings by research groups.
 * Could use a little more info about historical and archaeological evidence, both were mentioned briefly without much context
 * There were several sub-topics that were barely covered, it's like they threw them in there to take up space without expanding on the subject (pollen analysis, dendroclimatology, artic ice sea loss, etc.).
 * Citations and links work
 * No apparent plagiarism
 * Info appears to be up to date, was last edited on May 1, 2017
 * Could discuss relationship between ecology and climate change
 * Could add a topic about climate change remediation, but that might be a separate page entirely
 * Climate change is a controversial issue and a popular page; it is semi-protected to prevent people from vandalizing the page. This is a good thing, because pages shouldn't be subjected to vandalism and should be allowed to present facts and issues.
 * The Wiki community discussed the issue of similar terms linking to different articles. Other talks consisted of ways to improve the article via content or grammar and organization. The article is ranked as a level-4 vital article in Science, however it was delisted as a "good article"

"Ecology"
 * The intro paragraph could use more citations as to where they found the facts about ecology and what ecologists are interested in.
 * Article is neutral
 * Everything in article appears relevant to main topic
 * Information comes from scientific journals, books, and other scientific articles. Sources are mostly neutral
 * Viewpoints are balanced
 * Citations and links are viable, no close paraphrasing or plagiarism detected
 * Info was last edited on April 27, 2017 and is likely up to date
 * Climate change is briefly mentioned in relation to affecting biodiversity. This is important to mention since ecological studies focus on changes in environments that affect populations. A wiki page relating the two should include specific examples of past and current ecological research on climate change and why it is important to research these topics and historical records of climate change.
 * Article is listed as a "good article" and rated as level- 3 vital article in Science.
