The lead provides information that defines what the article is about. However, the lead does not provide any information concerning the categories of the channels, even though that is a major part of the article. The data seems up to date; However, what is the problems concerning basal channels today? Does climate change affect it melting more quickly? How does it affect the rest of the environment? What animals or other life forms become affected by basal channels? Is there a photo to insert for people to see? The sources seem good and from research and reputable sources, which is good. While the content is clear and concise, it also concerns topics which may be difficult to grasp for people who don't know about glaciers. Some topics are linked to other wiki pages, but things like basal fracturing are undefined or not linked to other wiki pages to define it. The list of sources is a good amount, but a few more could be added to address topics like how it affects the oceans, other parts of the world, or other parts of the environment. Another question is how has human activity impacted basal channels? Currently, the draft is good and has a lot of information, but there is still information that could be added to fully understand the importance of the topic. Good start, and very interesting!
