Reviewer 2 Report
The manuscript "Intrinsic ferroelectricity in charge-ordered magnetite" by Manuel Angst, Shilpa Adiga, Semen Gorfman, Michael Ziolkowski, Jörg Strempfer, Christoph Grams, Manuel Pietsch and Joachim Hemberger report investigation of a high-quality single crystal of magnetite at low temperatures by electric measurements, time-resolved diffraction, dielectric spectroscopy. The work provides direct evidence of ferroelectricity arising from charge ordering in magnetite. The article is written clearly and logically structured. The manuscript is acceptable for publication in the Crystals after resolved all the reviewer's remarks.
Some minor remarks:
The reference list should be reworked.

Author Response
We thank the referee for his or her work and positive evaluation of our manuscript.
"The reference list should be reworked."
We thoroughly went through the reference list and updated 8 references (e.g. adding or hyperlinking doi, correcting typos in title etc). We are grateful to the referee for the improvements following from the suggestion.
"- Page 10, line 320. Please check the reference."
The citation part of this end-note was made to conform in style with the other citations and the doi is now clickable.
"- Page 12, line 425. Please check the reference."
We checked this reference but do not see any mistakes (the a bit strange last name of the first author is like that in the corresponding paper).
