fighting an uphill battle. FA's on singe sports player biographies tend to list 200 references, ecology has over 2000 years of work to summarize spanning hundreds of thousands of articles, hundreds of textbooks, and you get the idea. After taking a long break from the article I managed to draw in several scientists with an interest in ecology to join in and assist in putting the article into shape. All the citations have been checked, a sentence-by-sentence copyedit has been completed, images have been checked, and after several years working on this I cannot think of where else to go with this. The history section has grown, shrunk, been chopped, grown, shrunk, and grown again. Every time it gets cut back it seems too incomplete - even with the main
396:"Ecological concepts such as food chains, population regulation, and productivity did not develop until the 1700s, through the published works of microscopist Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723) and botanist Richard Bradley (1688?–1732)." The first clause discusses what didn't happen, and the second clause discusses how it did happen. I suggest removing the "not" to make this less confusing: "Ecological concepts such as food chains, population regulation, and productivity were first developed in the 1700s, through the published works of microscopist Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723) and botanist Richard Bradley (1688?–1732)."
1007:"Complexity in ecology is of at least six distinct types: spatial, temporal, structural, process, behavioral, and geometric." "New properties emerge because the components interact, not because the basic nature of the components is changed." - There are quite a few quotations like this in this article. I was told that such statements should not be quoted in this way but should be rewritten and suitably attributed.
1134:"Ecosystems produce, regulate, maintain, and supply services of critical necessity and beneficial to human health (cognitive and physiological), economies, and they even provide an information or reference function as a living library giving opportunities for science and cognitive development in children engaged in the complexity of the natural world." - This sentence is too long and complex.
1202:"The Earth formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago. As the Earth cooled and a crust and oceans formed, the atmosphere transformed from being dominated by hydrogen to one composed mostly of methane and ammonia." - I would have thought both these sentences would be better in the passive tense and the second one could have "it" rather than repeating the subject.

1824:
1104:"Newer technologies opened a wave of genetic analysis into organisms once difficult to study from an ecological or evolutionary standpoint, such as bacteria, fungi and nematodes. Molecular ecology engendered a new research paradigm for investigating ecological questions considered otherwise intractable." - Don't these two sentences say much the same thing?
1969:"Ecology is an employed science of restoration, repairing disturbed sites through human intervention, in natural resource management, and in environmental impact assessments": this sentence needs a little work. In particular, "repairing disturbed sites through human intervention" is a definition of restoration, but is listed as an application of ecology.

1625:"The historic emphasis and poetic naturalist writings for protection was on wild places, from notable ecologists in the history of conservation biology, such as Aldo Leopold and Arthur Tansley, were far removed from urban centres where the concentration of pollution and environmental degradation is located.": this sentence seems rather confusing.
616:"To structure the study of ecology into a conceptually manageable framework, the biological world is organized into a nested hierarchy of organization, ranging in scale from genes, to cells, to tissues, to organs, to organisms, to species, and up to the level of the biosphere." - I don't think "organize" should be used twice in the same sentence.
454:"In Newtonian fashion, he brought a scientific exactitude for measurement into natural history and even alluded to a modern ecological law on species to area relationships." So he alluded to something that happened in the future...? Was he a time-traveling wizard? Also, I'm pretty sure there should be hyphens in "species-to-area relationships".
1231:"Anoxygenic photosynthesis converting hydrogen sulfide into other sulfur compounds or water (for example 2H2S + CO2 + hv → CH2O + H2O + 2S), as occurs in deep sea hydrothermal vents today, reduced hydrogen concentrations and increased atmospheric methane." - This sentence is too long and complex and the subject is too far away from the verb.
1537:"For example, through the early-mid Eocene volcanic outgassing, the oxidation of methane stored in wetlands, and seafloor gases increased atmospheric CO2 (carbon dioxide) concentrations to levels as high as 3500 ppm" - If you start mentioning CO2 concentrations in this way I think you should give a current figure for comparison.
564:"Ecosystems are sustained by biodiversity, which is the varieties of life and processes, including lineages of genes, species, and other ecosystems, that integrate through their interactions into complex and regenerative spatial arrangements." - This is quite difficult for someone wondering what Ecology is all about.
1325:"For example, wind running over the surface of a lake creates turbulence, mixing the water column and influencing the environmental profile to create thermally layered zones, affecting how fish, algae, and other parts of the aquatic ecology are structured." - I would replace aquatic ecology" with some other term.
649:" Preventing species extinctions is one way to preserve biodiversity, but populations, their genetic diversity, and ecological processes such as migration are threatened on global scales and are disappearing rapidly as well." - Any sentence that I need to read 3 times to fully understand is too complex.
163:
Ecology is such an important topic matter that it would be wonderful for the public outreach on the subject matter to get this article up to a FA status. Comparatively, there are few natural science articles making it to the FA status so this is a worthwhile project that needs all the help we can find.
1084:
I'm going to agree with your last part. Social ecology is quite important - several journals devoted to this really. It is part of ecology proper. It could go as a sub-section to behavioural ecology. It is a topic covered in several of my ecology textbooks. Coevolution is a topic that is also covered
599:
My interpretation of this is that when you understand a system well enough, you no longer have to appeal to emergence or holism, and it is possible to give a full account of that system in reductionistic terms. I would wait for
Thompsma to answer this one though, since he's probably the one who wrote

I've listed this article for peer review because…it was nominated for FA status in Sept. 20, 2011 and was knocked down right away. The reviewers left a list of concerns and all of those have since been addressed. Ecology is a very difficult subject matter to contend with, so I feel as though we are

First of all, my heart goes out to you and your cohorts for even attempting to work on an article of this magnitude. This is exactly the type of article that

section seems rather odd and non-science-y. This passage in particular strikes me as being very weird: "However, they viewed life in terms of static ideals with each species fitting into an essential mold of creation. Varieties were seen as aberrations of an ideal type." It sounds like it is
594:"Some ecological principles, however, do exhibit collective properties where the sum of the components explain the properties of the whole, such as birth rates of a population being equal to the sum of individual births over a designated time frame." -Isn't this a statement of the obvious?
1540:"In the Oligocene, from 25 to 32 million years ago, there was another significant restructuring of the global carbon cycle as grasses evolved C4 photosynthesis and expanded their ranges." - This sentence implies that grasses were non-photosynthetic before that date.
2030:"...external and internal environments, however...": internal environments were not mentioned earlier, so why the 'however'? It is also unclear what is being referred to here. Internal as meaning inside a human-built structure? Or inside an organism?
308:" made extensive observations on plant and animal migrations, biogeography, physiology, and on their habits" Assuming I'm interpreting this correctly, I think "on their habits" should be replaced by "behavior" for conciseness and consistency of tone.
1897:"All organisms are motile to some extent. Even plants express complex behaviour, including memory and communication.": The relation between these two sentences is not immediately clear. The fourth sentence even distinguishes between the two.
1603:
Technically a pronoun and its antecedent should be of the same part of speech, e.g. since "He" would be the subject of the second sentence, "Herodotus" would have to be the subject of the previous sentence. I replaced it with "who" though.

among philosophers. They were trying to understand the world around them, to classify the world according to a guided plan. So I do not know if I can really help with this much, perhaps a sentence summarizing what I have just said might
1107:"Molecular investigations revealed previously obscured details in the tiny intricacies of nature and improved resolution into probing questions about behavioural and biogeographical ecology" - I would have used "of" rather than "into".
1173:"In this way, the environmental and ecological relations are studied through reference to conceptually manageable and isolated material parts that are accounted for." - Prepositions are usually kept away the end of sentences from!
1820:"Complexity is easily understood as a large computational effort needed to piece together numerous interacting parts exceeding the iterative memory capacity of the human mind.": Is the word 'easily' intended to be ironic here?

Deciding whether or not to link a term multiple times in an article is somewhat subjective. However, if you're only going to link something once, wouldn't it make the most sense to link it upon its first usage?
1442:"The decomposition of dead organic matter, such as leaves falling on the forest floor, turns into soils containing minerals and nutrients that feed into plant production. " - This sentence is awkwardly phrased.
1296:"Autotrophs—responsible for primary production—assimilate light energy that becomes metabolically stored as potential energy in the form of biochemical enthalpic bonds. - I think "which" should replace "that".
716:
I think it is intended ("significantly" implies statistical significance, as compared to the random model which is the null hypothesis), but I cut down that discussion so the statement is no longer present.

I was surprised at your subsections "Social ecology", which concerns social behaviour, and "Coevolution" because I would not have myself included them in an article called "Ecology". I'm probably wrong

That the data was produced by random processes (referenced earlier in the section). I have reworded it though, in favor of a broader statement ("In cases where basic models are insufficient...").
803:, which are affected by or primarily the result of human activity." (I think the Anthropocene reference may not be necessary here, and it's mentioned elsewhere in the article.) Is that better?
1593:"...where varieties are viewed as the real phenomena of interest and having a role...": should "and having a" be "because of their"? Otherwise the wording seems awkward and somewhat ambiguous.
1439:"Charles Cooper brought attention to the issue of forest fires in relation to the ecology of forest fire suppression and management in the 1960s." - I think this sentence could be clarified.
198:
summarizing the ramblings of Hitler after he had smoked marijuana. What is a "static ideal"? What is an "essential mold of creation"? Poetic, certainly, but not informative in the slightest.
1101:"The rise of molecular technologies and influx of research questions into this new ecological field resulted in the publication Molecular Ecology in 1992." I think this needs rephrasing.
1589:: It's a generally good article, although there is quite a bit of heavy reading in places that might make it less engaging than it could be. Here's a few observations and nit-picks:
220:) coming from special creation. So any new species was recast from the same mold. It was static in the sense that it was unchanging. I reworded the text - see if it reads any better.

The early studies didn't differ from biology, because biology wasn't invented until the mid 19th century until after
Lamarck coined the term. There was no ecology. It was a time of
1744:"...go extinct locally and recolonize": you could perhaps clarify right away that this is a reference to migration, rather than leaving the meaning unclear for several sentences.
877:"This has lead some ecologists to "reiterate that the notion that species clearly aggregate into discrete, homogeneous trophic levels is fiction."" - Shouldn't this be "led"?
1010:"An example of metaphysical holism is identified in the trend of increased exterior thickness in shells of different species" - I think this could be more clearly expressed.
819:"While food webs often give an incomplete measure of ecosystems, they are nonetheless a valuable tool in understanding community ecosystems." - 2 ecosystems in one sentence.

is that it doesn't really give the reader a clear idea of how these early studies differed from biology. What questions were these ancient geniuses attempting to answer?
1508:" Soil microorganisms are influenced by and feed back into the trophic dynamics of the exposed solar surface ecology." - I don't think you mean the surface of the sun.
703:"Alternatively, patterns differ significantly from the random model and require further explanation" - Is this quite what you mean or does it need the word "aberrant"?
425:"Biogeographer Alexander von Humbolt (1769–1859) was ... among the first to recognize ecological gradients." What's that? A link or brief explanation would be helpful.
1972:"...that this 21st century...": this? Is this intended to exclude the 21st century BC? Or does it mean this was written in the 21st century and hasn't been updated?
1131:"... other disciplines were interested in human relations to natural systems centuries prior, especially in the late 19th century." - I think this sounds a bit odd.
1369:"Approximately 350 million years ago (at the end of the Devonian period), the amount of photosynthesis ..." - Maybe the "accumulated products of photosynthesis".

438:- I made changes - a brief explanation, but someone should check to see if the changes I made help to explain what is meant without getting too complex.
2036:"The biology of life operates within a certain range of temperatures." I assume this is terrestrial life? Otherwise it seems an overly broad assertion.
1963:"The Journal of Biogeography was established in 1974" seems an unnecessary distraction. That could perhaps be tied into the context a little better.
1690:"...are threatened on global scales": This is something of a vague, dangling implication. Is it needed here? If so, perhaps it should be clarified?
