Feedback

Wikipedia is an essential tool in the fact-checking process for any researcher alongside the fight against mis/dis information. To Bridging the Gap: Using Wikipedia To Fight Climate Denialism, the community of volunteers will be reviewing climate-related articles in Africa which are not available on the sum of all human knowledge by making contributions through creating (new) or editing (existing) content.

What participants are expected to look out for when contributing.

Creating new climate-related articles.
Editing existing climate-related articles (i.e grammatical errors, broken links, blear images, etc).
Adding citation, infoboxes, Wikilinks, categories, and expanding climate-related articles.
Uploading climate-related media files on commons and using them on other Wikipedia and Wikidata.
Also contributing in any local language available on the wiki-space is encouraged (eg. Hausa, Swahili, Afrikaans, Arabic etc)
