Evaluate the drafted changes
In the lead you say " The carrying capacity of any natural system is never a constant amount, as it depends on a variety of dynamic factors such as technology, preferences, production and consumption, and certainly in natural populations, interactions between biotic and abiotic constituents" but then it is never mentioned again in the article. Maybe add a potential section about the factors of carrying capacity. Why is technology a factor? What about production? This will give the reader a better and more thorough understanding of the topic.

Lead is a bit long. Try summarize the article in one whole paragraph and then break into different sections. You could have your lead which summarizes and explains what you will be addressing in the article and then branch into sections such as, Population(birth and death rate, etc.), Factors, Mathematical Representation, Humans, Ecosystems etc. Doing this will also make the article a little bit easier to read as the introductory is a little bit all over the place.

Content that is added is neutral and unbiased, no viewpoints noticed that would suggest otherwise.

It is all relevant to the topic. However, could go more in depth. In the talk page someone has critiqued the original article saying "This article could be expanded to cover more information. I feel as though it has a shallow exploration of carrying capacity and could have more topics covered", take previous critiques and use them to help guide you in what you need to add to improve the original piece. If you aren't sure if it's worth adding, ask the talk page.

Where it says "citation needed" try find a source that confirms that information.

Coverage of the article is good. Has edited in almost all section of the article.

Did a really good job making the mathematical section easier to read and understand!

Potential topics to add:

- carrying capacity of ecosystems or species

- how humans effect the carrying capacity of such ecosystems

- strategies for sustainable living

Here is a source about coral reef island carrying capacity:

Here is another useful source: Carrying capacity is found on pages 3,4, 434, 436 & 547.

Citation # 9: I couldn't get access to it.

Citation #8: Said page not found.

Did a good job with layout for the mathematical information. All content you added is sourced and clear to understand.

Just need to get more content that explores the topic a little bit more and organize the overall layout of the article.
