[edit]

Lead: I'm not sure if you were supposed to copy an entire first paragraph from the wikipedia page from ocean chemistry. I think we were supposed to update the lead to reflect the new content you added to the already published wikipedia page. I would try to update the lead with your new information! Otherwise, the information is concise and includes a good description.

Content: Content-wise, I think you do a good job of having a comprehensive overview of extremophiles in marine environments with a nice focus primarily on their presence in hydrothermal vents and sea ice brine pockets.

Tone & Balance: The tone is nice and neutral throughout your paragraphs. The only thing I would maybe consider doing is maybe simplifying some of the processes you explain because it may be challenging for readers without a scientific background to understand.

Sources & References: They look good and all have been scientifically peer reviewed it looks like!

Organization: I think the organization is really good. There isn't too many words in a single paragraph which is nice and makes it easier to read for sure.

Images & Media: none added

Overall: I think you did a nice job with this! I like how you used specific examples and scientific studies to back up your points because it adds a real credibility to your writing. The tone is nice and neutral and the separation of paragraphs makes for an easy read.
