ウィキヴァイブランス(※1)の趣旨は、2021年の「国際青少年デー」 （以下IYD(※2)）をウィキメディア運動で記念することにあります。ウィキメディア運動に参加する若年層の人々とその他のウィキメディアのコミュニティが手を取り合って活動し、若年層の参加者と今年のIYDの主題に関連する記事の改善に取り組むことです。その主題とは「食物供給網の変換：健全な人類と惑星地球に青少年の発明を(※3)」というものです。表現を換えるなら、ウィキメディア運動には多様なコミュニティ出身の青少年がいて、いっしょに食糧や農業、人類と惑星地球の健全性に関わる記事の読みやすさを改善しようと呼びかけます。ウィキ・ヴァイブランス(※4)というプロジェクトは、ウィキメディアの青少年を祝祭し、この人たちが開かれた知識の普及に果たす役割を讃えます。（※：1＝WikiVibrance。2＝International Youth Day。3＝"Transforming food systems: Youth innovation for human and planetary health"。4＝WikiVibrance）

Otherwise, you can choose one from the articles about agriculture below:


Edit this table

Table 6: Proposed agriculture, food, water articles to work on (with a connection to climate change impacts)
# Article Daily view rates

People who want to work on this article (there is no limit here)
1 Agriculture in Ghana 62 Start
2 Agriculture in Nigeria 174 Start
3 Agriculture in India 1,204 C
4 Carbon farming 48 C

In addition to the proposed articles in the table above, you can:

  • Add a paragraph or section to one of the articles about Agriculture by country about climate change or sustainable agriculture in those countries. Its important to highlight the gap between the current impacts of climate change and the adaptation practices needed for a sustainable future.
  • Add a paragraph or section about sustainability or climate adaptation to articles about specific crops by country -- like the by country articles -- regionally specific crops are going to have specific effects.

How to get started with Wikipedia

Tutorial videos

If you are more of the "visual, moving pictures and audio" type learner, you might enjoy these tutorial videos which we have put together in our Youtube Playlist for you:

  1. How to make your first edits in Wikipedia.
  2. First steps in Wikipedia editing: talk pages, editing, watchlist, preferences, history...
  3. How to insert references and images to Wikipedia articles.
  4. How to copy a reference inside a Wikipedia article, how to adjust image size.
  5. How and why to create a REDIRECT in Wikipedia.
  6. Inserting references: page numbers, adding from ISBN number, copying references.

There are also plenty more Wikipedia editing videos available on Youtube, just search for "Wikipedia tutorials", for example videos by The Wiki Show.

The table below outlines five actions to help improve Wikipedia articles. You can select just one, two or more tasks that are suitable for your background by clicking on the sorting arrows at the top of the table.

If you want to know how a "perfect" Wikipedia article should look like, take a look at Wikipedia's featured articles. A featured article is the best quality article within Wikipedia. The Climate change article is a featured article (there is still room for improvement though!). See further examples.

Table 1: Proposed six tasks to improve 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. You can find citations for assertions not referenced, or delete unsupported assertions.

Steps:

  • To add a citation to an existing article, we recommend using the “citation hunt” tool, which finds articles lacking in citations.
  • 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.

Tips:

Novice editor, with some knowledge about climate change topics
2 Improve language, readability and length of the lead of the articles

What Wikipedia calls the "Lead" is the piece of text that appears first in the article, just before the table of contents. We want those leads to be the highest quality possible. Many articles have leads that are way too short and are not good summaries of the article. However, these are the most read parts of a Wikipedia article -- with most readers stopping after the lead.

Steps:

  • Ensure that the lead is like an "executive summary" for the article (similar to an abstract for a journal paper)
  • Ensure the lead has exactly one image (not more than one) and has up to 4 paragraphs (each paragraph no longer than 6 lines).
  • Include wiki links for key words (internal links so readers can click and go to other Wikipedia pages).
  • Use easy to understand, short clear sentences (say less than 20 words).

Tips:

Novice editor, with English writing skills and good understanding of Wikipedia’s style and rules
3 Improving language and readability of parts or the entire article

You do not need to restrict yourself to adding new material. You can edit existing content to improve the language and readability.

Steps:

  • Replace long words with short words whenever possible.
  • Replace passive voice with active voice.
  • Make long sentences shorter or break them into two sentences.
  • Reduce paragraph lengths to 4-6 lines.
  • You can check the impact of your work by using Webfx tool or Online-Utility tool which gives you various readability scores for either a whole website or just a block of text. Paste in the web address of the revised article to get the new readability score. The Hemingway App is also a useful tool for improving readability. Is the current readability score (Flesch Kincaid Reading Ease) OK? Rule of thumb: aim for higher than 55.

Tips:

4 Adding more or better figures, images, videos or wiki links (internal links that connect articles)

Images, and figures are important for Agriculture related topics, but many articles lack these. Search the literature, internet and Wikimedia Commons to see if there are more maps, figures, infographics and alike that could be added to the articles (they need to be under the open access licence CC-BY SA).

Steps:

  • It is easier to add images that are already in Wikimedia Commons than to add your own images. Try searching for images using Special:MediaSearch.
  • If you want to add new images, you can only add your own images if you own the copyright and are willing to release them under an open access licence.
  • You can also add Wiki links from one Wikipedia article to another (see more information).

Tips:

Novice editor
5 Expand articles in the proposed articles section.

Often articles in the proposed articles section will have sections or information, but that information might not be very thorough or useful.

Steps:

  • Read the articles involved, and look for sections with less than 2 paragraphs of information.
  • Ask yourself “what else would I expect to find in this section” or “what would I like to learn about this topic”.
  • Look for new sources that you can read to learn about that aspect of the topic.
  • Expand the section, by adding new or insightful information found from the sources.
  • Add examples, sources, projects and other content related to developing countries.

Tips:

Some editing practice, with some knowledge of the topic, moderate research experience
