Please comment if you have suggestions as to how to define the Siberian desert, otherwise I'll figure it out on my own.

message: I can't really read the text on the image at the moment, so I'm planning on making it wider. However, I'm kind of at a loss as to how to do so. If I go for a set size of 819px (which is pretty much as small as you can go while still maintaining readability), I'm worried that users with smaller browsers will become annoyed. Ideally, I'd like to use Template:Panorama, but that doesn't work in IE (no surprise there). The other option would be using Template:Wide image, e.g. , but both the grayed-out scrollbar at the bottom and the fact that the box expands to maximum screen width make this look rather ugly.I'll stick with the set size for now, but if anybody has any better ideas, please have a go at fixing this!

message: The Sechura Desert is missing. It has a size of 188000 km². I didn't add it as I don't know how to update the rankings (which would change) automatically.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.231.136.188 (talk) 15:54, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

message: As in the case of the Arctic, the full extension of Antarctica has been included as "desert". In fact, large areas of the continent are not deserts http://www.zonu.com/images/500X0/2009-11-18-11162/Antarctica-annual-precipitation.gif
The Arctic should be definitely excluded of the list, at least of the first ranks. Antartic desert should be properly measured.

message: I fail to see why the Australian desert is split into several ranges, whereas there are multiple deserts listed that have plenty of their own regions/ranges but are listed as a whole.
For example Sahara has several regions within it like Libyan Desert, Western Desert, Eastern Desert etc. This also goes for multiple other deserts on the list. If we treated Sahara same way as Australian it should be split up. 
So in one case Australian desert is split up into several regions/ranges, but others are not. That is a big discrepancy that should be fixed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alakagom (talk • contribs) 12:27, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

message: There is a discrepancy between the area listed for the Artic Desert here and for the actual wiki entry.
The citation seems broken as well. 76.183.245.240 (talk) 02:18, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
