The RFC, now at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Using maps as sources, has questions related to notability. --Rschen7754 06:12, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everyone, Climate Visuals is working to increase the photographs available to Wikimedia Commons in their library and is seeking insights from the Wikipedia community about the climate change photos you need and would use.

(The Climate Visuals library is designed to increase the impact and engagement of climate change photography and information via their creative commons photo gallery and evidence base).

What are the specific climate- and ocean-related topics that you need photos for? What articles or topic areas are you working on, or planning to work on, that could use more compelling photos?

Please do let me know below and I’ll pass the message on. Climate Visuals will use this info to collect and curate existing photos that would fill these gaps. Thanks! TatjanaBaleta (talk) 12:28, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An RM asking to lowercase Mediterranean Basin to Mediterranean basin may be of interest. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:12, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've just translated these two articles I originally wrote for the Lusophone wiki, where I intend to promote the former to FA status in the future. Both articles are large and cover multiple oceanographic topics. As I'm an amateur on said topics, I'd like a review of any missing key facts, misused terms and other mistakes I may have made. There's a third article I've made along with those two, Brazilian Blue Amazon, but it's mostly about geopolitics and I have not included it in this project's scope.
