*:Ooh, good idea -- do you want to break this out a bit :) We could always add a section about this as "easy interventions you can do anywhere", [[User:Sadads|Sadads]] ([[User talk:Sadads|talk]]) 14:31, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
*::Yup, I'm thinking of maybe doing a bigger writeup, maybe even in the form of the requested [[Climate communication]] article. There has been a lot of research done in the past few years about what kinds of messages around climate change move people. The New York Times had [https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/12/climate/climate-solutions-polar-bears.html an excellent piece] on it: "What motivates people to care and to act is an awareness of the genuine solutions: a new clean-energy future, improving our standard of living, and building local jobs and the local economy.” One of the ways in which I'd like to nudge the culture at Wikipedia is away from what climate communication people call the "[https://e360.yale.edu/features/how_can_we_make_people_care_about_climate_change catastrophe frame]" and towards improving the content that talks about opportunities and solutions.

*::: Actually I'm adding it to the list and hoping someone with more of a literature background might do it. Know anyone ? :)

:Some in line responses above, in general this is just the beginning -- so lets think about adding content or tweaking as well. [[User:Sadads|Sadads]] ([[User talk:Sadads|talk]]) 14:31, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
:: Sure. Are you OK with having others directly edit the page? [[User:Clayoquot|Clayoquot]] ([[User_talk:Clayoquot|talk]] <nowiki>&#124;</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Clayoquot|contribs]]) 21:33, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

I'll try doing this now. Let me know what you think. [[User:Clayoquot|Clayoquot]] ([[User_talk:Clayoquot|talk]] <nowiki>&#124;</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Clayoquot|contribs]]) 17:18, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
::{{ping|Clayoquot}} Go for it! I am happy to see what it looks like :) [[User:Sadads|Sadads]] ([[User talk:Sadads|talk]]) 17:21, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
(to::: Reorg done. This gives you an idea of what the categories can be. continued)The items within the categories could use some breaking down into smaller pieces so they describe easy-to-medium tasks.

== re-re-org ==
 
{{ping|sadads}} and I re-organized this page again - I would like to make this the home of the to-do list for the project (we can link out to other to-do lists with actual lists of articles. Still needs cleanup though. [[user:phoebe|phoebe]] / <small>([[user_talk:phoebe|talk to me]])</small> 18:26, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 
== By economic sector ==
 
Has there been a copy and paste error here? The first two paragraphs are exactly the same as Cover climate impacts by industry. [[User:Ainali|Ainali]] ([[User talk:Ainali|talk]]) 08:26, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 
== Broken tool? ==
 
It looks like all links to https://recommend-large.wmflabs.org/ are broken. Has the tool been moved or just stopped working? [[User:Ainali|Ainali]] ([[User talk:Ainali|talk]]) 09:36, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 
== Importance of lede in translation ==
 
This page has a helpful tip to ensure that the lede paragraph synopsizes the entire article: “Did you know many readers only read the first paragraph (the 'lede' or 'lead' section) of Wikipedia articles?” To this I would add: a lengthy English Wikipedia article is so challenging to translate that many language editions translate only the lede section, the lede paragraph, or even the first sentence of the article and call it a stub. This makes it critically important to provide a well-rounded summary in the lede section. &ndash;&nbsp;[[User:Mxn|Minh <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Nguyễn</span>]]&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Mxn|<span style="display: inline-block;">&#x1f4ac;</span>]]</sup> 21:54, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
