== Arctic tundra map appears to be incorrect, original research ==
The arctic tundra map shows tundra around the complete perimeter of Antarctica, while [http://www.worldwildlife.org/ecoregions/an1101 the WWF Antarctic tundra description] says that there is tundra only on the western part of the Antarctic Peninsula (the little tip that reaches up towards South America). The article text follows the reference.

The map is thus clearly incorrect, unsupported by references, contradicting the article it occurs in. It should be removed until it can be fixed. —[[User:Hike395|hike395]] ([[User talk:Hike395|talk]]) 16:42, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

::Thanks for supplying the new map. It's unfortunate that biome maps are so poorly sourced: it's difficult to [[WP:V|verify]] their correctness.

== Fauna ==

Just asking, but given this sentence:

{{Quote box
|quote = Notable animals in the Arctic tundra include ...
|align = left
|width = 100%
|quoted = 1
|border = none
}}

I am wondering why mosquitoes aren't mentioned. When I talked to someone who lives in such areas, even Samic people in east Norway, they come up. These guys prefer minus 50 centigrade in winter to the mosquitoes in summer. I've heard it about the tundra in Alaska too.

Given that, at least in summer, we are essentially talking about ten million square kilometers of swamp, it's clear that these insects are quite numerous and possibly also - influenced - attempts to settle there.

(Also, despite being my first contribution here, this is not a joke suggestion. Just because some animals are small doesn't mean that they are unimportant or that the total biomass contribution is small too.) <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:VolkerHetzer|VolkerHetzer]] ([[User talk:VolkerHetzer#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/VolkerHetzer|contribs]]) 21:32, 11 May 2021 (UTC)</span>

{{edit semi-protected|Tundra|answered=yes}}
In the first paragraph in the article, it says "Tundra vegetation is composed of dwarf shrubs, sedges and grasses, mosses, and lichens." It appears to me that a comma is missing. I request to change this line to "Tundra vegetation is composed of dwarf shrubs, sedges, grasses, mosses, and lichens."

== Orphaned references in [[:Tundra]] ==

I check pages listed in [[:Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting]] to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for [[User:AnomieBOT/docs/OrphanReferenceFixer|orphaned references]] in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of [[:Tundra]]'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for ''this'' article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

<b>Reference named "Berkeley":</b><ul>
<li>From [[Biodiversity of South Africa]]: {{cite web
 |url=http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/cambrian/cambrian.php
 |title=The Cambrian Period |publisher=[[University of California Museum of Paleontology]]

</ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. [[User:AnomieBOT|AnomieBOT]][[User talk:AnomieBOT|<span style="color:#880">⚡</span>]] 13:01, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
