What was corrected
What the page claimed
The article presented a universal 10% rule and four-or-five food-chain links, the Yellowstone wolf stream-flow cascade as confirmed, a precise Tilman extinction-debt figure, a 100-1000x extinction rate, and single-large-reserve superiority as established.
What was corrected
Qualified the trophic and extinction figures with their real variation and uncertainty, flagged the Yellowstone cascade as debated, and corrected the SLOSS claim to an unresolved debate.
Why this is better
These were textbook simplifications stated as settled fact. Corrections add the appropriate uncertainty and the SLOSS debate rather than adding new sources.
