Proposed guidelines

This section is an excerpt from Talk:2020 in climate change § Proposed guidelines.[edit]
Proposed guidelines

This article is envisioned as one of a series documenting year-by-year occurrences pertaining to climate change. The series of articles will provide annual "snapshots" and "status updates" for future historians to determine "what was known, when" and "what happened, when".

  1. Post content that is specific to a particular year. The yearly status of ongoing phenomena or actions is acceptable, but general scientific principles and expansive historical reviews are inappropriate here.
  2. Make the text concise. (Background information, general principles, technical definitions, etc., should be put within citation footnotes, in the "Notes" section, or in other Wikipedia articles.)
  3. Though Wikipedia is not a newspaper, individual events that were important in the then-current year may be appropriate.
  4. Keep each entry brief, ideally a sentence or two.
  5. Keep content organized in meaningfully titled sections (listed below)—not one long list.
  6. Within each section, strive to arrange entries chronologically.
  7. Strive to maintain section titles consistent in articles from year to year.
Initial section structure:
  • Summaries — (prominent-source surveys putting the year in perspective)
  • Measurements and statistics — (raw numerical values)
  • Natural events and phenomena — (natural occurrences contributing to or resulting from climate change)
  • Actions and goal statements (actions by humans; subsections:)
  • Science and technology (e.g., measurement techniques, renewable energy technical advances, expeditions, etc.)
  • Political, economic, legal, and cultural actions (causing or resulting from climate change)
  • Mitigation goal statements — (e.g., climate emergency declarations, NDCs, net zero pledges, ...)
  • Adaptation goal statements — (statements re coping with expected effects of climate change)
  • Public opinion and scientific consensus — (scientific consensus studies, studies of public perceptions, etc.)
  • Projections — (predictive estimates of future causes, effects, etc.)
  • Significant publications — (major publications by prominent sources)
  • See also — (links to other Wikipedia articles)
  • Notes — (e.g., technical explanations not suitable for body text)
  • References
  • External links
