Hi,
I am EMsmile, and I am a part of a group of people wishing to improve SDG-related articles on Wikipedia which is why we are organising this edit-a-thon. If you have any questions about this work, please feel free to ask your questions here. Just add a new section heading, like this:
== My Question XXX == My question or comment is this...
If you're new to Wikipedia I should point out: Please sign your name using four tildes (~~~~) when you post on talk pages. This will automatically produce your username and the date. You can find the "tilde" character on your keyboard. For example on English keyboards it tends to be to the left of the "enter" key.
This page explains in more detail how to use Talk pages: Help:Talk_pages. EMsmile ( talk) 15:44, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
In Wikipedia:Meetup/Online_edit-a-thon_SDGs_September_2020/Tasks#Standard_outline_for_the_17_individual_SDG_articles, one of the suggested section headings is criticism. Per WP:CRITICISM, sections like that should be avoided. Femke Nijsse ( talk) 07:43, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
Reception would work. Controversies has a similar effect of attracting negative opinions instead of a balance of opinions. Alternatively, criticism may be added to the appropriate sections. If there is criticism only on one aspect of sdg, it probably should go in the section of that aspect. Femke Nijsse ( talk) 09:39, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
I am listing here some things that the SDG experts and volunteers could tackle during the edit-a-thon:
This link: https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rglo20/14/3?nav=tocList& leads to an interesting collection of scholarly articles criticising various aspects of the SDGs. We should utilise these for our section on "reception" in the article SDG and also for the individual SDG articles. (If it gets too bit, it might eventually warrant a separate article called "Controversies about SDGs" or something like that.) @ User:Joe_Roe: I am curious how you found that link; what search method did you use?

Consider grouping the Do's and Don'ts under the sub-headings of Beginner and Intermediate. In the current configuration, a beginner has to scroll through the advanced Do's before getting to the beginner don'ts. As a beginner, I've found the points easy to read and follow. 2030 SDGs ( talk) 03:40, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
I just noticed that all sorts of changes have been made this year to the indicators for SDG 13 (and also for other SDGs)... I have been using the versions for the indicators provided by SDG Results Tracker and also here the March version: /info/en/?search=List_of_Sustainable_Development_Goal_targets_and_indicators but more changes were made in April: https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/files/List_of_changes_since_15_Oct_2018.pdf I think we should provide some information in the Wikipedia SDG articles that changes have been made and why (if we have references for that). I guess we should generally try to list the most recent version of the indicators (but also mention about important changes that have been made)... But we'll have to ponder over how detailed we want to make it at the end of the day? It probably doesn't make sense to document every single change in indicator wording. I guess in general we want to just have the most recent version of the indicators in our SDG articles. Just showing one example. Old: Indicator 13.3.1 "Number of countries that have integrated mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning into primary, secondary and tertiary curricula." New: 13.3.1 "Extent to which (i) global citizenship education and (ii) education for sustainable development are mainstreamed in (a) national education policies; (b) curricula; (c) teacher education; and (d) student assessment."

I've been developing a sandbox article /info/en/?search=User:2030_SDGs/Sustainability_Development_Goals_and_Australia and would like some advice on next steps to share it, without my user name. I would like to have it circulating during Global Goals Week.
Kind regards, 2030 SDGs ( talk) 01:06, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi. I am having issues with citations and I watched the YouTube videos recommended on the SDG how to edit page but nothing so far have taught me how to add citations/reference using a mobile phone. Please help! So far, I added {{citations needed}} since I don't know how to do 'cite' myself. Hope it's not a problem? Obiorah Precious Oby ( talk) 18:58, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi, here are the statistics in spanish lenguage: total Editors participant: 5, total Articles creates: 27 (all the SDGs Objetives, none of then had its articles) and more of 50 articles improved. Nice to organize it in Spanish Wikipedia. Regards! -- Esteban ( talk) 19:34, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
Hola, aquí están las estadísticas en idioma español: total de editores participante: 5, total de artículos creados: 27 (todos los objetivos de los ODS, ninguno de ellos tenía sus artículos) y más de 50 artículos mejorados. Es bueno organizarlo en Wikipedia en español. ¡Saludos! -- Esteban ( talk) 19:34, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
