OK, I'm game! I'm trying out all the suggestions here and reporting on each one.

  • Citation Hunt: The first six snippets I got were from biographies of U.S. politicians and had absolutely nothing to do with climate change. There are many articles in the project that have short passages of relevance to climate change, but the [citation needed] tag isn't necessarily in those passages, e.g. Sunlight. I don't think this tool is very useful for improving Wikipedia's content on climate change.
  • Backlog on climate change: Seems useful!
  • Add images identified as related to climate change to Wikipedia articles: There's been some good research lately on what kinds of images are most compelling when communicating about climate change. By those criteria, most of the images in the climate change category are not very good. E.g. many of them are about environmental protestors, which are among the least effective kinds of images. I would instead encourage people who are interested in illustrating articles to think more creatively about images instead of using ones that are in the obvious category already. E.g. how about pictures of sustainable architecture, electric vehicles, passenger trains, people installing solar panels in their villages, etc. Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 07:05, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
