You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes

 * Systematically read through article and either verify and cite or remove currently uncited facts.
 * Track down the original sources of all present parenthetical citations and re-format these citations as footnotes in accordance with Wikipedia formatting guidelines.
 * Remove statements of opinion.
 * Relocate the "History of Arctic Ecology" section to be after the lead in order to establish "background and historical significance" for readers, as suggested by Emm031 on the Talk page.
 * Consolidate the "Conservation and environmental issues" and "Arctic Biodiversity and Climate Change" sections into one as they discuss different components of the same area. (This will likely require content editing as well as structural revision to ensure notability of all materials in this section.)
 * Check capitalization guidelines and adjust capitalization of all section headings to match (should all significant words in a header be capitalized, or just the first word and proper nouns?). The current section headings follow different formats.
 * Revise or remove sections on Indigenous peoples that do not comply with Wikipedia's goal of a neutral tone.
 * Make grammatical and copy-editing changes to improve clarity. I will work to ensure that I don't change "the meaning of [the] article" with these edits. Several sections currently do not have proper grammar and/or use informal language.
 * If time permits, I will then find photographs that illustrate the content of the article, as suggested by Aoc001 on the Talk page.
