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.

Thanks EMsmile. I much appreciate all the resources Wiki4Climate has put together to teach us how to use Wikipedia as editors. I am glad to have this repository for later; and I am sure this won't be my last time editing Wikipedia. SAG 191 (talk) 14:15, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:West Antarctic Peninsula

Hello, SAG 191. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "West Antarctic Peninsula".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 16:20, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Liz. I created the draft without realising that there was already an article entitled the Antarctic Peninsula covering the exact topic. I linked Western Antarctic Peninsula to the excisting Antartic Peninsula article instead. So thanks for deleting this draft; it was no longer useful.
