All these additions/edits seem good. (I don't really know enough about this topic to know what else you could add.) Will you be editing other sections of the article as well, or just these? From reading the existing article it seems like some sections include a lot more information than others. BZenith (talk) 22:46, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

From a big picture perspective, these look great! I like the addition of the oxygen availability hypothesis and snowball earth hypothesis sections- I think the current Multicellular Life page could benefit from those additions. Regarding the 'Colonial Section' that you mentioned, would it go under the existing 'Colonial Theory' section on the Multicellular Life page, or would it be a new section? I don't have enough of a background to know what information would go under the Division of Labor part within the colonial section, but I'm excited to see where you go with it! Final thought- make sure to check that all the links are functioning. Tmahseredjian (talk) 04:37, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

-- You've identified two new sections that would be great additions to this article! Since the article is categorized under "evolutionary biology", I think that it might be helpful in your new sections to offer more information to explain the geological context. For example, with respect to oxygen availability, you could include some general ideas are about the magnitude of change in oxygenation at this time (and maybe what types of proxies/observations have been used as proxies?). You could link to the "Geological history of oxygen page", but even that page doesn't really have a ton of specific information about what was going on during Neoproterozoic time. Similarly, I'm guessing that many folks who come across this page might not be familiar with Snowball Earth, so in addition to links to other wikipedia articles, I think a sentence or two describing what they are would be helpful (in addition to links to other article pages). With respect to images, you could think about using the pO2 record that's on the "Geological history of oxygen" page (although it's not in a log scale, so it's maybe not the most useful version of that graph), and/or include an image related to Snowball Earth?
