Quotes from participants

"Through this 100-day campaign, I upped my normal Wikipedia editing, highlighted how unprecedented CO₂ levels are over millions of years, and dispelled two common myths about global warming: that humans are only "mainly" responsible, and that further warming stops when emissions stabilize, rather than when they reach net zero.”
– Dr Femke Njisse, University of Exeter (edited Grid storage and Climate change)

“Promoting widespread scientific literacy is a key issue in addressing anthropogenic climate change, environmental degradation and injustice. Platforms like Wikipedia provide an excellent opportunity to disseminate scientific information to an extended audience, where this information is otherwise often only accessible by academics in the global north. I hope that my contribution to the campaign can help bring greater clarity to a topic (i.e. biochar) that is often discussed in the context of climate change mitigation.”
– Dr Oscar Kennedy-Blundell, University of Exeter (edited Biochar)

“I am very pleased to have made a small contribution to this publicly available resource. Climate warming, environment degradation and disappearing biodiversity are here and now affecting human societies and human health. We hope these resources raise understanding of the science behind these issues and promote collective positive action.”
– Dr Reza Zamani, formerly University of Exeter (retired) (edited Air pollution)

"Participating in the campaign makes me realise that the knowledge I have gained during my career is valuable and worth spreading. It has been fulfilling to contribute towards making Wikipedia a reliable source of information."
– Juan Pablo Benavides Tocarruncho, University of Exeter (edited Afforestation)

"In the fight against climate changes and its roots, information and diverse knowledges are invaluable. This also make them potential sites of manipulation and undue influence by vested interests. Diffusing knowledge about the issues from a broad range of voices, how these problems can be framed differently and how evidence can be shaped in particular ways that theorise or quantify certain perspectives out of existence is crucial to deeper understanding. The 100 Days 100 Edits campaign has been a great contribution towards this goal that should inform climate focused research generally especially in the run up to highly influential and powerful international summits such as COP29. Thank you to all involved."
– Ian Burton, University of Exeter (edited Integrated assessment modelling)
