Tasks

The table below only shows a prioritised selection. This is just meant to make it easier to decide what to focus on. It does not mean that the other Wikipedia articles are "out of bounds".

Table 1: Proposed tasks for Wikipedia articles

#	Task (action)	Details, steps and tips	Suitable for which type of volunteer
1	Adding reliable citations to articles	All Wikipedia articles need citations (references to published work) -- every fact and piece of information should have a reliable source. This means that finding and adding citations is an important task. For climate change-related articles, you can start by reading WikiProject Climate Change’s guide to reliable sources. You can find citations for assertions not referenced, or delete unsupported assertions. Steps: "citation needed" flagged articles - For such articles, sometimes the content/text might be accurate however if there aren't enough references to back up the assertions being made, the article needs your help. Add citations that will support assertions made. You can delete text that cannot be backed up from credible sources -- that's part of the job. Search the literature to see if there's more current information available than is currently cited in the articles. Preference is given to reputable sources, and literature reviews; Newspaper articles or blog posts are not ideal but can be OK. Posts from discussion forums are not allowed Tips: Click this link and it will take you to a page where Wikipedia articles lack citations have complied. Click "I've got this" and you will be taken to the Wikipedia page. Find citation for the text You will find the "citation needed" flag . Click and add the reference you found. Publish it.

Adding references (or citations) is also explained here.
2	Unflagging Wikipedia articles	"Flagged articles" are Wikipedia articles that are marked and need to be improved to meet Wikipedia's standards. You can learn when to remove a flag from an article here. If you want to know what a "perfect" Wikipedia article should look like, take a look at Wikipedia's featured articles. A featured article is the best quality article on Wikipedia. The Climate change article is a featured article (there is still room for improvement though!). See further examples here: Wikipedia:Featured articles. Steps: Try to correct the issues identified on the top page of the article. Once done, remove the flag and publish. For issues with writing style, read Wikipedia's neutral of view and Style of writing.
