peer review[edit]

Hi, this is really nice and added a lot to the original article! I would only make small changes in the wording of the last paragraph in early life and education section from:

"Filipchenko graduated from St. Petersburg University's Zoology Department in 1905, after which he was accepted to St. Petersburg University's Zoology and Comparative Master's program in 1910. He pursued the subject of comparative embryology for his candidate's thesis, a topic that interested Filipchenko due to his interest in the presentation and evolution of physical characteristics in animals. Thus, by engaging in a project that allowed him to compare the embryonic development in higher-level taxa (i.e. class, orders, etc.), Filipchenko was able to gain a broader perspective on inheritance that would later inform his ideas on macroevolution.[3]"

Peer Review #2[edit]

I thought these contributions were great and very well written. I don't think much change is needed. I found the section on his views on Darwin especially interesting, and you presented all the information in an easy-to-read format with ample citations. I might slightly change the wording of "Filipchenko identified himself as a Darwinist" to "Filipchenko self-identified as a Darwinist" but other than that, everything reads very naturally.

Peer Review #3[edit]

Comparing the present Wikipedia article to its prior state in 2016, you have made vast contributions. I especially enjoyed reading about his work Variabilitat und Variation. Perhaps associating that with his written works may be better? If you could expand upon one or two of his other principal written works I think the wiki page will be evens stronger.
