Good start on writing in Wikipedia! Here are some comments:
 * 1) Use headers.  If using Visual editor, select the line of text for the header then use Paragraph menu and select the level of text
 * 2) The citation is not complete, and repeated twice rather than using "Reuse citation" for its second use. Look at the PDF of the chapter where it says: This chapter should be cited as: Mirzabaev, A., J. Wu, J. Evans, F. García-Oliva, I.A.G. Hussein, M.H. Iqbal, J. Kimutai, T. Knowles, F. Meza, D. Nedjraoui, F. Tena, M. Türkeş, R.J. Vázquez, M. Weltz, 2019: Desertification. In: Climate Change and Land: an IPCC special report on climate change, desertification, land degradation, sustainable land management, food security, and greenhouse gas fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems [P.R. Shukla, J. Skea, E. Calvo Buendia, V. Masson-Delmotte, H.-O. Pörtner, D.C. Roberts, P. Zhai, R. Slade, S. Connors, R. van Diemen, M. Ferrat, E. Haughey, S. Luz, S. Neogi, M. Pathak, J. Petzold, J. Portugal Pereira, P. Vyas, E. Huntley, K. Kissick, M. Belkacemi, J. Malley, (eds.)]. In press.'

Comments on Assignment 2
Good comments on the desertification article.
 * It is common to have references to other articles at the start--usually disambiguation if there are multiple definitions of the title of the article.
 * Thinking ahead to your research article for the class...you mentioned you plan to improve this article. Remember this class is about long-term change...over hundreds of years.  I don't think adding in long-term change (hundreds of years or more) should be added into this article.  But a different article could be written.  There are paleoecological studies of natural and human-induced desertificvation earlier in the Holocene.  I am personally not very familiar with these articles.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Answer.to.the.rock (talk • contribs) 17:42, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
