Evaluate the drafted changes
The ecosystem management page is pre-existing, so the portions that Sierra specifically worked on are unclear to me. With that in mind, I will evaluate the article as a whole. The ecosystem management page is extremely detailed, and closely referenced by scholarly articles. I especially appreciate that the different approaches to ecosystem management are separately analyzed and explored. There is one image on the page and it portrays a specific approach to ecosystem management. I would recommend that the page adds an image per approach for equal representation. The article also has a notice that there is an unclear citation style. There is an extensive list of resources so the problem seems to be organization based, and I assume that is due to the five or so sources that are listed without bullets at the end of the bibliography section. The page itself is very well organized, and easy to read. My last point of advice would be to expand upon the stakeholders section. Examples of specific ecosystem management projects would help to portray what roles stakeholders may play within the described scenarios and/or approaches.

The stakeholder section was massively added, and improved upon. The bibliography was also correctly re-organized. Resultingly, this is an article with professional and neutral text that takes from a variety of reliable resources. All around, a well developed article. There is a Wikipedia notification on the page, however, which drew my attention to the introduction section. After closer examination, I would recommend either expanding or rewording the sentence "ecosystem management has a significant history of development based on core principles that reflect its evolution..." The function of the sentence seems to be filler that provides foreshadowing for the core principles section. I believe it can be reorganized to contain substance of its own so that a Wikipedia reader has a better understanding of ecosystem management without requiring further reading within the article.
