About 68 volunteers out of these 121 people (56%) contributed to climate change related topics in the English Knowledge during the edit-a-thon - some with a lot of edits, some with only two or three edits. Volunteers who made at least ten good edits in the English Knowledge during the edit-a-thon received a certificate of participation (24 volunteers requested a certificate, and 22 were rewarded one). 10360: 3291:. Removing these three persons meant that the figures for "articles edited" and "article views" dropped a bit. It is wonderful to have active, long-term editors participate in edit-a-thons. The only small problem with very active editors is related to the statistical analysis: during the week of an edit-a-thon they usually work on a variety of topics, not just climate change ones but it is not easily possible to only include their climate change related edits in the analysis. 27: 880:. This is not an exhaustive list of climate change articles given the cross-cutting nature of the topic. We suggest that you do some research to find any other specific articles that may also interest you and that require improvement. The list has been provided to make it easier to know some key gaps and what articles already exist on climate change. It does not mean, however, that the other Knowledge articles are "out of bounds". 10200: 505:(IPCC) are highly reliable, as they are a systematic review of the latest available science and technical information on climate change. Adding citations from the latest IPCC Assessment Reports (currently the Fifth Assessment Report) and Special Reports (Special Reports on Land, the Ocean and Cryosphere, and Global Warming of 1.5 ºC were released in 2019) is particularly encouraged. However, please make sure you follow these 10198: 10203: 10202: 10197: 10204: 10201: 3588:(Global South), as per the table below (our target had been 50% female and 75% from Global South). Note that participants did not have to reveal their gender or location which means that for about 20% of participants we did not know these parameters. We also determined that 75% of the 68 active editors were new to Knowledge editing. 10205: 2264:
