Hello new editors! Thanks a lot for expanding this article so much as you've been doing! A couple of tips to get the citations correct. There are multiple options to add citations. The easiest one is with the visual editor. You click the cite button and can simply copy the doi of any scientific article. Wikipedia will than add a superscripted number in the text corresponding to the source, which are automatically collected at the end of the article.
If you prefer the citation style of having an author in the text, you might be interested in the explanation on:Template:Harvard_citation. It involves putting some code in the main body of text and separately at the end of the text.Femke Nijsse (talk)12:59, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hey! I moved quite a bit of information over from theClimate change adaptation article. Look over at thetalk page for more info. Please give me any feedback!Jlevi (talk)01:25, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if this text can be put to use - doesn't look like it to me at first sight:The Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) is organization that focus on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, forest carbon stock conservation, the long and continuous management of forests, and the enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries, activities commonly referred to as REDD+. The organization make her impact through the contributions and commitments totaling US$1.3 billion.[1]EMsmile (talk)07:20, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: url-status (link)User:James Moore200 I see you have added a list of NGOs. I am not sure if this is the right place for that. It could become an endless list. It's not encyclopedic content; it's too detailed. I would either condense or remove it. What do you and others think? (are you in the Slack channel of the Wiki4Climate edit-a-thon by the way?)EMsmile (talk)10:15, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
User:Diannaa, would it be possible that you make the revisions byUser:Rkokhalid unhidden please? I think I understand the system now that those edits have not been reverted, just hidden. But the problem is later this week when I assess the contributions of the Wiki4Climate edit-a-thon, it will look like a bunch of edits byUser:Rkokhalid were deleted as they would appear crossed out in his/her user contribution page. I thus would not be able to assess them. Is there a way to avoid that? I take it that the only edit you really wanted to delete is the addition by James Moore200 (the NGO list, see also comment just before this one on the talk page).EMsmile (talk)15:35, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
At the top of the page is an image showing "Temperature change in Africa", starting with 1901 on the left (with the chart mostly showing blue lines extended below the middle), and ending with 2020 on the right (with the chart mostly showing red lines extending above the middle). There is no Y axis to show what those bars mean.
Below, the text states "Graph showingtemperature change inAfrica between 1901 and 2021, with red colour being colder and blue being warmer than average...". Given red is colder and blue is warmer, that suggests 1) that the chart is showing that Africa is cooling, and 2) the chart is set up so that colder/redder temperatures are higher on the Y axis. For the first, that doesn't match the rest of the page, which generally states that surface temperatures in African are increasing, not decreasing. For the second, that is an odd setup, as usually higher tempreatures would be higher on the graph, not lower.
I assume that this is actually a typo, and it should read "...with blue colour being colder and red being warmer than average...". Indeed, looking back at the listed source, and using the "bars with scale" option rather than just "bars", this adds a Y axis showing that higher/redder values correspond with an increase in temperature, not a decrease.

I just translated this article into Traditional Chinese, and found every time I clicked the files for details, it went blank. The problem could be caused by the % signs in the files's name. Can anybody help solve it? Thanks for your kind attention.ThomasYehYeh (talk)01:29, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
