message: Could someone please change the color of the map? The light-blue color is almost impossible to see. Or well, for me it is. (I'm colorblind)
This is way better:

message: The arctic tundra map shows tundra around the complete perimeter of Antarctica, while 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. —hike395 (talk) 16:42, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for supplying the new map. It's unfortunate that biome maps are so poorly sourced: it's difficult to verify their correctness. I see that MPF edited that map --- he/she has been a reliable editor in the past, so I think we can trust this map. —hike395 (talk) 13:27, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

message: Just asking, but given this sentence:
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.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by VolkerHetzer (talk • contribs) 21:32, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fauna 

message: 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." 2600:8800:6083:F200:38DF:D232:DBC9:AC4 (talk) 19:54, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it was deliberate since sedges and grasses are similar (as opposed to the shrubs, mosses, and lichens) but I'll leave this open for someone who may be more familiar with this subject and/or article. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 20:14, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: That phrasing has been in place since 2007, so it's difficult to determine the original editor's intent. I would support the proposed edit, just for simplicity. — hike395 (talk) 01:27, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Support: while the two are similar when relative to mosses and lichens, the sentence does not scan well as is. Also, for consistency, the two are separated by a comma in . TGHL ↗ 13:01, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

message: 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 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.
Reference named "Berkeley":
From Biodiversity of South Africa: 
From Taiga: 
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. AnomieBOT⚡ 13:01, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
