Welcome to Wikipedia and the online edit-a-thon on climate change topics in November 2020

Hi,

I am EMsmile, and I am a part of a group of people wishing to improve climate change-related articles on Wikipedia. We are organising the "Wiki4Climate" online edit-a-thon from 24 November to 1 December 2020. Please take part by registering here. This event is organised by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and Future Climate for Africa (FCFA). If you have any questions about this event, please feel free to ask on the event's talk page here. Please also join us in the event's Slack channel for easier communication and to make this into a collaborative effort. To join the Slack channel, please click here.

WikiProjects bring groups of editors together on particular topics. Below are three WikiProjects that I find very interesting, maybe you'd like to join me there?

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

I am EMsmile, and I am a part of a group of people wishing to improve sanitation-related articles on Wikipedia (which also includes topics around water supply and public health). If you have any questions about this work, please feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.

We ran a SuSanA Wikipedia Edit-a-thon for World Water Day in March 2017, following by a joint editing drive for World Toilet Day in November 2017. We've put together an outline of how such an editing drive can work here in our Meetup page. We are currently focussing on a select few number of articles (we have chosen 70). Also we are focussing mainly on improving their readability scores and their leads.

Can you help? Then please start editing and improving any number of those 70 articles which are listed here. And please get in touch with us on the talk page of that meetup page because it is always more fun to feel part of a team effort!

Also if you are interested in improving sanitation-related articles in general, you may want to join WikiProject Sanitation as well, which is a longer term effort, not limited to World Toilet Day.

Visual editing of a table

So you can force it by appending &veaction=edit instead of action &action=edit to a url, so you can actually add buttons like we did at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Climate_change/Small_to_medium_tasks&action=edit with buttons like Making some quick improvements So you could instead add one of those before each table "add myself to the table" or something like that.
