This graphic we are using for common era temperature data is based on historical data that you originally ran with in your similar png. Here's the current image: File:Common_Era_Temperature.svg
Unfortunately, the historical data we are using pretty dramatically conflicts with the data shown in this 2018 National Climate Assessment graph, and I'm not sure what's more reliable: https://science2017.globalchange.gov/chapter/1#fig-1-8
Can you help me make sense of why the two graphs differ so much, and which is more reliable? Efbrazil ( talk) 17:53, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Femkemilene, I ask you for some advice. I and others as well have since quite some time trouble with some IPs that say Climate-Data.org (CDA) is unreliable. After several times where I as well have reinstated the data I let it be until now an account came and removed the data persistently again. I checked and double checked and the tables from CDA are from the years 1982–2012 (as per CDA) don't really reflect the current weather which is often quite much warmer. The weather data where I checked the tables differ about 10 degrees from the currently experienced temperatures. The current daily weather data by CDA is correct though, at least where I checked with the weather apps, maybe they differ 1-2 degrees but this is ok. I am not so much a weather editor, so I ask you for advice. I've let the editor go through for now, which I think is correct becaus of the data, but the editor is not so friendly and often just deletes the data without leaving edit summaries or replacing the data with valid ones and might get into trouble as this is his main interest.I would support that the faulty tables be replaced with a short description of the climate situation. But this should probably be done by someone who is a constructive editor and has a certain interest into weather. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 10:10, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

What's on the FAR todo list that I might be able to help with? NewsAndEventsGuy ( talk) 15:46, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
One of them has been improved already (the cherry picking). The other one is the historical set-up. The original source has a way higher-quality image. Would be great if you can adjust the new Paris graph and get rid of all the tiny text that's not readable. The text below is not entirely factually accurate; the pledges are not set within the Agreement itself. The agreement itself just stipulates that pledges have to be made. I think this is solved by making it slightly vaguer: their current pledges set within the Paris climate agreement --> their current Paris Agreement pledges Femke Nijsse ( talk) 10:22, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I was going to respond to your comments on Laura saying this, however, something tells me to take it to your talk page, rather than take your discussion of topic. This is meant as a friendly heads up rather than cause an argument or doubt the science as im not an expert on either climate change or tropical cyclones. Anyway, as you are aware we have to be very careful when we talk about tropical cyclones and climate change, this is because our records are not brilliant and are in fact a mess when it comes to intensity. In fact, I would state that we almost certainly know where and when a tropical cyclone hit but not how intense it was. For example, the US NHC states that the windspeeds estimated in their best tracks have about a ±10% uncertainty (pg 4), which probably increases to somewhere near 100% the further back in their database you go. I also note that the majority of the world estimate sustained winds over a 10-minute period sustained winds, while India uses 3 and the US uses 1-minute winds. Talking of India, their BT Database for the NIO has only just been extended back to 1982, while others are barely back to the start of the satellite era and were not based on Dvorak until the late 70's. As I said, it's a mess and we need global reanalysis to try and figure things out a bit further and that's before we get into the game of what gets a name. Fortunately I suspect that citizen scientists such as us both can use the reliable records to try and improve Wikipedia and the global TC record. Jason Rees ( talk) 00:27, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

I came across the lovely new Northern masked owl article a couple of days ago, through which I found the book Climate change adaptation strategies for Australian birds. My experience with the term "adaptation" in relation to climate change is that it predominantly relates to human/societal adaptation, so I'm less familiar with this area. I note the lead of Climate change adaptation mentions natural adaptation obliquely at the end of its first paragraph, but even its Adaptation in ecosystems section focuses on human intervention in natural systems, rather than the natural systems themselves, as does your suggestion on Talk:Climate change. I do wonder if we're missing something in the form of 'natural adaptation', without human intervention, such as species moving or perhaps even corals controlling the weather. I suspect the topic overlaps heavily with 'ecosystem resilience', and that may be why "adaptation" terminology remains mostly in use for human-related topics. I was wondering if you had come across much relating to this sort of "natural adaptation" concept during your recent research on adaptation? Best, CMD ( talk) 08:43, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi Femke, I just noticed that you tried to fix the archive bot on Talk:Atmosphere of Earth about a year ago. I just wanted to let you know why it wasn't working: the |archive= parameter was set to "Talk:Earth's atmosphere/Archive %(counter)d". That means the archive pages are not subpages of the talk page itself, so the bot won't do any work. It happens a lot, and is almost always caused by page moves in the past. I've fixed it now (I'm going through Category:Pages where archive parameter is not a subpage), but I just wanted to let you know in case you come across something like this in the future. -- rchard2scout ( talk) 10:30, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Femkemilene!
My name is Daniel, and I’m a senior at Harvard University currently writing an undergraduate thesis about Wikipedia. I’m particularly interested in how the Wikipedia community decides what facts are relevant and/or notable enough to warrant inclusion on a particular article — especially in regards to articles on contentious topics.
I noticed that you’ve been quite active editing the “Climate change” article over the past few months. So, would you mind if I send you a few questions (via email or right here) about your work editing that article, and the approach that you take? I’d really love to hear from you.
Thanks so much! -- Dalorleon ( talk) 16:07, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
Hey Femke, I'm not sure whether it is a concern, but can you look into this: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Climate_change#Dates_on_Environmental_impact_of_climate_change_subarticles. if you click on through, on my links, you'll see that I also focused on one particular agricultural report which I doubt upon and which I think could benefit greatly from a change from a date to a temp increase trigger instead. -- Genetics4good ( talk) 09:45, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

I’m getting the idea that Sanitation WikiProject editors don’t understand what a featured article is, or how to write top content, perhaps because that project has never produced a Featured article. In fact, the project has rarely even produced a Good article (I find three?), and working at FA level does not seem to be something they are familiar with.

Today's FA is 1080° Snowboarding and this seems an easy standard to match or surpass. I've not tried it myself but my impression is that Allen's adage applies, "80% of success is showing up".

This is to let you know that the Earth article has been scheduled as today's featured article for April 22, 2021. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 22, 2021, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.

It's very hard to verify anything you say in articles if the information is paywalled.

If you just include quotes from paywalled source material in your references then all those problems go away.

I see you reverted this. While I agree, perhaps it's useful to expand the section on this issue (climate adaptation measures which act against sea level rise not being on track). Have you read the article link you took out ? You'll see its quite important, and I assume a same issue occurs with other large-scale projects against climate change. I think the section should make it clear that the the issue exists, and that monitoring off the projects/transparency is or can be an issue. -- Genetics4good ( talk) 07:30, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Femke, thanks for suggesting your talks page to ask my question! I hope I‘m doing this the right way now.
Many scientists have endorsed Skeptical Science (SkS) over the years as shown on endorsement page and also regularly send people our way publicly, be it on Twitter, in their presentations or books. In addition, we‘ve recently become a registered 501(c)(3) science education non profit organization which we announced via a blog post on April 8: https://sks.to/sks-501c3. We are currently still identifying pages where we need to apply updates to reflect this new status and could then also clarify our internal publishing process. Would wording like the following on our About page help with the determination?
„All original material published by Skeptical Science undergoes a peer-review process similar to that employed by academic journals , with all published material under strict editorial supervision and only released to the public after inspection for accuracy.“
Cheers - Baerbel — BaerbelW ( talk) 20:44, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for your work with SkepSci BaerbelW. A long time ago I asked the site to look into CC licensing for graphics so they could be used here. As you point out the site has grown manyfold since it was just Cook in an extra room in his flat. However, as you point out, contributors are making BLOG posts. That's the definition of SELFPUB. They might be reviewed internally but they're still BLOG posts. SELFPUB does have an except for subject matter experts, but the process can invite drama, take a long time, and after the dust settles some passing trouble maker can make the stink all over again. So its better to go to the source material SkepSci writers are using or provide inline attribution, as stated previously. Alas 501c3 status makes zero difference for RS analysis here. For example, The Heritage Foundation has a 501c3 status, and we all know they are a the source of much climate denial. NewsAndEventsGuy ( talk) 15:44, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Sustainable Energy has been completed.
I discovered that in Edit Mode using Visual Editor if you preview the text before saving it an error message like the following appears in certain sections. It is not one I have seen before and seems to relate to the "citec" template which, although I understand what it is for, I have not come across either. (The error message only appears in Preview mode.
I do not know how to "fix" this error.
I made an editorial decision to leave all of the numbers appearing in the article as numerals for consistency throughout even though some like "7 million deaths" would normally be written in words. This avoids dealing with segments like "contributes 12%. An additional 5%" etc...
Best of luck with your (collective) attempt to achieve FA status.

Hi User:Femkemilene. I work for the electric vehicle company Rivian and I'm looking for advice on updating our page. I am in a conflict of interest COI relationship and therefore need to work with a volunteer editor. Given your interests in environmental topics, I was wondering if you might find it a good use of your time to work with me on allowable edits to improve the page. One example is, I’m not sure the Amazon delivery van content belongs in the history section. For several months I’ve reached out to over half a dozen volunteer editors without much success. It is always my goal to stick to the rules and standards of Wikipedia. I look forward to your reply. Thank you IanRivian ( talk) 20:20, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Great work on prose! I don't think emerengency management is needed, as it's a bit academic to put it under adaptation. I would like to put the Paris Agreement into the last sentence. It's now a vague goal, with a precise solution. These numbers correspond to the more ambitious Paris goal of limiting global warming to 1.5C. FemkeMilene ( talk) 15:28, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
"Humans don't need to be mentioned twice, weird gendering. In few days I'll post different solution." - You opinion is weird to my scientific understanding, as there are many different flavours of climate changes. The current one, which is mainly triggered by human-made CO2 emissions (and other greenhouse gases) is covered by the reverted article. It is important to point out that this kind of climate change is completely different from the climate change of glacials and interglacials which were triggered by Milankovich cycles and that there were different kind of climate changes which were triggered by AMOC disturbances and there were different kind of climate changes which were triggered by flood basalt eruptions. Therefore, this article talks about man-made climate change. What's weird about this - do you prefer anthropogenic? You can't say that climate change includes both global warming driven by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. The latter one is climate change and consequently a circular definition, isn't it? Climate change is the overall concept of a changing climate, and if you want to point out that a special kind of climate change is adressed in this article, this has to be clearly indicated in the introduction. That is similar to writing an abstract - you shall not tell unprecise nonsense. If there was an omission in the lemma due to simplification, this is not allowed in the main text on a scientific subject. -- Gunnar ( talk) 17:45, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello @ Femke, I am an italian contributor to wikipedia. First I wanted to thank you for your contributions on the topic of Climate change, in the english version and on the italian page. I had noted that in comparison to other versions the italian one was not very great, but I am not an expert and I did not know where to start or what to add exactly. I think that the italian version was not uptated year to year: it did not mention the Paris agreement of 2015 until i added it this August...
I saw your contribution on the talk page, and I wanted to add the Lancet citation but the link you gave did not work to me; was the reference to this article: [7]?
Thank you, happy holidays. -- Tormund99 ( talk) 17:31, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
I also think that the italian pages "Controversia sul riscaldamento globale" and "Controversia della mazza da hockey" may need a review and can be better. If I have enough time I am also considering the creation, translating from the en. wiki, of an italian version of the page "Scientific consensus on climate change". -- Tormund99 ( talk) 18:46, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

This graphic we are using for common era temperature data is based on historical data that you originally ran with in your similar png. Here's the current image: File:Common_Era_Temperature.svg
Unfortunately, the historical data we are using pretty dramatically conflicts with the data shown in this 2018 National Climate Assessment graph, and I'm not sure what's more reliable: https://science2017.globalchange.gov/chapter/1#fig-1-8

Hi Femkemilene, I ask you for some advice. I and others as well have since quite some time trouble with some IPs that say Climate-Data.org (CDA) is unreliable. After several times where I as well have reinstated the data I let it be until now an account came and removed the data persistently again. I checked and double checked and the tables from CDA are from the years 1982–2012 (as per CDA) don't really reflect the current weather which is often quite much warmer. The weather data where I checked the tables differ about 10 degrees from the currently experienced temperatures. The current daily weather data by CDA is correct though, at least where I checked with the weather apps, maybe they differ 1-2 degrees but this is ok. I am not so much a weather editor, so I ask you for advice. I've let the editor go through for now, which I think is correct becaus of the data, but the editor is not so friendly and often just deletes the data without leaving edit summaries or replacing the data with valid ones and might get into trouble as this is his main interest.I would support that the faulty tables be replaced with a short description of the climate situation. But this should probably be done by someone who is a constructive editor and has a certain interest into weather. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 10:10, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

One of them has been improved already (the cherry picking). The other one is the historical set-up. The original source has a way higher-quality image. Would be great if you can adjust the new Paris graph and get rid of all the tiny text that's not readable. The text below is not entirely factually accurate; the pledges are not set within the Agreement itself. The agreement itself just stipulates that pledges have to be made. I think this is solved by making it slightly vaguer: their current pledges set within the Paris climate agreement --> their current Paris Agreement pledges Femke Nijsse ( talk) 10:22, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I was going to respond to your comments on Laura saying this, however, something tells me to take it to your talk page, rather than take your discussion of topic. This is meant as a friendly heads up rather than cause an argument or doubt the science as im not an expert on either climate change or tropical cyclones. Anyway, as you are aware we have to be very careful when we talk about tropical cyclones and climate change, this is because our records are not brilliant and are in fact a mess when it comes to intensity. In fact, I would state that we almost certainly know where and when a tropical cyclone hit but not how intense it was. For example, the US NHC states that the windspeeds estimated in their best tracks have about a ±10% uncertainty (pg 4), which probably increases to somewhere near 100% the further back in their database you go. I also note that the majority of the world estimate sustained winds over a 10-minute period sustained winds, while India uses 3 and the US uses 1-minute winds. Talking of India, their BT Database for the NIO has only just been extended back to 1982, while others are barely back to the start of the satellite era and were not based on Dvorak until the late 70's. As I said, it's a mess and we need global reanalysis to try and figure things out a bit further and that's before we get into the game of what gets a name. Fortunately I suspect that citizen scientists such as us both can use the reliable records to try and improve Wikipedia and the global TC record. Jason Rees ( talk) 00:27, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

I came across the lovely new Northern masked owl article a couple of days ago, through which I found the book Climate change adaptation strategies for Australian birds. My experience with the term "adaptation" in relation to climate change is that it predominantly relates to human/societal adaptation, so I'm less familiar with this area. I note the lead of Climate change adaptation mentions natural adaptation obliquely at the end of its first paragraph, but even its Adaptation in ecosystems section focuses on human intervention in natural systems, rather than the natural systems themselves, as does your suggestion on Talk:Climate change. I do wonder if we're missing something in the form of 'natural adaptation', without human intervention, such as species moving or perhaps even corals controlling the weather. I suspect the topic overlaps heavily with 'ecosystem resilience', and that may be why "adaptation" terminology remains mostly in use for human-related topics. I was wondering if you had come across much relating to this sort of "natural adaptation" concept during your recent research on adaptation? Best, CMD ( talk) 08:43, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi Femke, I just noticed that you tried to fix the archive bot on Talk:Atmosphere of Earth about a year ago. I just wanted to let you know why it wasn't working: the |archive= parameter was set to "Talk:Earth's atmosphere/Archive %(counter)d". That means the archive pages are not subpages of the talk page itself, so the bot won't do any work. It happens a lot, and is almost always caused by page moves in the past. I've fixed it now (I'm going through Category:Pages where archive parameter is not a subpage), but I just wanted to let you know in case you come across something like this in the future. -- rchard2scout ( talk) 10:30, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Femkemilene!
My name is Daniel, and I’m a senior at Harvard University currently writing an undergraduate thesis about Wikipedia. I’m particularly interested in how the Wikipedia community decides what facts are relevant and/or notable enough to warrant inclusion on a particular article — especially in regards to articles on contentious topics.
I noticed that you’ve been quite active editing the “Climate change” article over the past few months. So, would you mind if I send you a few questions (via email or right here) about your work editing that article, and the approach that you take? I’d really love to hear from you.
Thanks so much! -- Dalorleon ( talk) 16:07, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
Hey Femke, I'm not sure whether it is a concern, but can you look into this: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Climate_change#Dates_on_Environmental_impact_of_climate_change_subarticles. if you click on through, on my links, you'll see that I also focused on one particular agricultural report which I doubt upon and which I think could benefit greatly from a change from a date to a temp increase trigger instead. -- Genetics4good ( talk) 09:45, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

I’m getting the idea that Sanitation WikiProject editors don’t understand what a featured article is, or how to write top content, perhaps because that project has never produced a Featured article. In fact, the project has rarely even produced a Good article (I find three?), and working at FA level does not seem to be something they are familiar with. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 13:06, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
Today's FA is 1080° Snowboarding and this seems an easy standard to match or surpass. I've not tried it myself but my impression is that Allen's adage applies, "80% of success is showing up". If Femkemilene wants assistance with any further attempts, please feel free to ask. Andrew🐉( talk) 18:41, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
By the way, I just noticed that it is time for you to bring Earth forward at WP:TFA/R! SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 03:36, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
This is to let you know that the Earth article has been scheduled as today's featured article for April 22, 2021. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 22, 2021, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.
We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:58, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

It's very hard to verify anything you say in articles if the information is paywalled. This is a problem not just for me, but also for the lay audience that is going to be reading these articles, and also for anyone reviewing intermediate edits made years from now. If you just include quotes from paywalled source material in your references then all those problems go away.
The article Sustainable energy you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Sustainable energy for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Hello and thanks for your notes over the article I created climate change and children, I respected your recommendations and would love second feedback over the changes. Tima93Lb ( talk) 21:21, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
I see you reverted this. While I agree, perhaps it's useful to expand the section on this issue (climate adaptation measures which act against sea level rise not being on track). Have you read the article link you took out ? You'll see its quite important, and I assume a same issue occurs with other large-scale projects against climate change. I think the section should make it clear that the the issue exists, and that monitoring off the projects/transparency is or can be an issue. -- Genetics4good ( talk) 07:30, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
Hey Femke, can you take a look at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Climate_change#Car_lease. Already did some work on it, but would like to leave that last bit to others. May not seem a relevant climate change page at first, but actually it is quite important as it can be a significant driver for change (ie increasing amount of people simply working from home, or use bicycles rather then cars for home-work travel. -- Genetics4good ( talk) 07:29, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

A nice be of collaboration on Ground source heat pump with a good outcome. A much better title for the reasons we presented. Thanks for taking the initiative on this.

Hi Femke, thanks for suggesting your talks page to ask my question! I hope I‘m doing this the right way now.
Many scientists have endorsed Skeptical Science (SkS) over the years as shown on endorsement page and also regularly send people our way publicly, be it on Twitter, in their presentations or books. In addition, we‘ve recently become a registered 501(c)(3) science education non profit organization which we announced via a blog post on April 8: https://sks.to/sks-501c3. We are currently still identifying pages where we need to apply updates to reflect this new status and could then also clarify our internal publishing process. Would wording like the following on our About page help with the determination?
„All original material published by Skeptical Science undergoes a peer-review process similar to that employed by academic journals , with all published material under strict editorial supervision and only released to the public after inspection for accuracy.“
Cheers - Baerbel — BaerbelW ( talk) 20:44, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for your work with SkepSci BaerbelW. A long time ago I asked the site to look into CC licensing for graphics so they could be used here. As you point out the site has grown manyfold since it was just Cook in an extra room in his flat. However, as you point out, contributors are making BLOG posts. That's the definition of SELFPUB. They might be reviewed internally but they're still BLOG posts. SELFPUB does have an except for subject matter experts, but the process can invite drama, take a long time, and after the dust settles some passing trouble maker can make the stink all over again. So its better to go to the source material SkepSci writers are using or provide inline attribution, as stated previously. Alas 501c3 status makes zero difference for RS analysis here. For example, The Heritage Foundation has a 501c3 status, and we all know they are a the source of much climate denial. NewsAndEventsGuy ( talk) 15:44, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Sustainable Energy has been completed.
I discovered that in Edit Mode using Visual Editor if you preview the text before saving it an error message like the following appears in certain sections. It is not one I have seen before and seems to relate to the "citec" template which, although I understand what it is for, I have not come across either. (The error message only appears in Preview mode.
I do not know how to "fix" this error.
I made an editorial decision to leave all of the numbers appearing in the article as numerals for consistency throughout even though some like "7 million deaths" would normally be written in words. This avoids dealing with segments like "contributes 12%. An additional 5%" etc...
Best of luck with your (collective) attempt to achieve FA status.

Hi User:Femkemilene. I work for the electric vehicle company Rivian and I'm looking for advice on updating our page. I am in a conflict of interest COI relationship and therefore need to work with a volunteer editor. Given your interests in environmental topics, I was wondering if you might find it a good use of your time to work with me on allowable edits to improve the page. One example is, I’m not sure the Amazon delivery van content belongs in the history section. For several months I’ve reached out to over half a dozen volunteer editors without much success. It is always my goal to stick to the rules and standards of Wikipedia. I look forward to your reply. Thank you IanRivian ( talk) 20:20, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
Thanks, Femke. I'm very much in learning mode here and I'm sure you're right about 'criticism' sections.

Hi Femkemilene, great work on this. Are you happy with what we've got now? I've got no objection to Emergency management going somewhere ... I just didn't like where it was. - Dank ( push to talk) 14:25, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
Great work on prose! I don't think emerengency management is needed, as it's a bit academic to put it under adaptation. I would like to put the Paris Agreement into the last sentence. It's now a vague goal, with a precise solution. These numbers correspond to the more ambitious Paris goal of limiting global warming to 1.5C. FemkeMilene ( talk) 15:28, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
"Humans don't need to be mentioned twice, weird gendering. In few days I'll post different solution." - You opinion is weird to my scientific understanding, as there are many different flavours of climate changes. The current one, which is mainly triggered by human-made CO2 emissions (and other greenhouse gases) is covered by the reverted article. It is important to point out that this kind of climate change is completely different from the climate change of glacials and interglacials which were triggered by Milankovich cycles and that there were different kind of climate changes which were triggered by AMOC disturbances and there were different kind of climate changes which were triggered by flood basalt eruptions. Therefore, this article talks about man-made climate change. What's weird about this - do you prefer anthropogenic? You can't say that climate change includes both global warming driven by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. The latter one is climate change and consequently a circular definition, isn't it? Climate change is the overall concept of a changing climate, and if you want to point out that a special kind of climate change is adressed in this article, this has to be clearly indicated in the introduction. That is similar to writing an abstract - you shall not tell unprecise nonsense. If there was an omission in the lemma due to simplification, this is not allowed in the main text on a scientific subject. -- Gunnar ( talk) 17:45, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Three changes gained consensus and two proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration. Thanks to all who helped to close the discussion, and in particular Primefac, Lee Vilenski, and Ymblanter for closing the most difficult conversations and for TonyBallioni for closing the review of one of the closes.
The following proposals gained consensus and have all been implemented:
Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?Special thanks to xaosflux for help with implementation.
The following proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration:
Editors who wish to discuss these ideas or other ideas on how to try to address any of the six issues identified during phase 1 for which no proposal gained are encouraged to do so at RFA's talk page or an appropriate village pump.

Hello @ Femke, I am an italian contributor to wikipedia. First I wanted to thank you for your contributions on the topic of Climate change, in the english version and on the italian page. I had noted that in comparison to other versions the italian one was not very great, but I am not an expert and I did not know where to start or what to add exactly. I think that the italian version was not uptated year to year: it did not mention the Paris agreement of 2015 until i added it this August...
I saw your contribution on the talk page, and I wanted to add the Lancet citation but the link you gave did not work to me; was the reference to this article: [7]?
Thank you, happy holidays. -- Tormund99 ( talk) 17:31, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
I also think that the italian pages "Controversia sul riscaldamento globale" and "Controversia della mazza da hockey" may need a review and can be better.

Naturally, I become motivated, followed your instructions at your op-ed, and picked a rather noncontroversial topic ( SpaceX Starship). If you are interested, you can see the project's meta page here as well as reporting my experience to you guys. Thank you to all of your contributions to this (frankly) contagious topic!

To get CO2 atmosphere data from Wikidata, you'd use code like this: 414.72 PPM. It's not the most elegant haha, but it works, and it'd update automatically across all languages when you updated the numbers on Wikidata. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 08:26, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi! I'd like to create a new entry into the system -- Booknerd2021 ( talk) 06:10, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
Hiya! I would like to know how to edit the section at the very beginning that introduces the author and also the section where the author has a picture of themselves and date of birth, death and so on. I can't figure that out at all. There are errors in these sections that I'm interested in editing and I can't figure out how to access them. Thank you! -- Birdonwall ( talk) 16:28, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
