Edit request

This is a request for an COI edit. Please see the proposed updated article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Koalava/sandbox/wcrpdraft and my disclaimer here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Koalava . To be honest, the current article and those of many of its related programs have major quality issues, and so I attempted to resolve some of these through a COI request.

Hi Koalava, your draft looks like a well-structured and NPOV article, and definitely a big improvement over the current one. Two points that I think could do with some improvement:

- The larger part of the sourcing is to the organization's own website/publications, which (as I am sure you are aware) is perfectly fine for non-controversial data on organization structure, mandate etc. However, it would be good if use could be made of some more secondary sources - i.e., what others have written about the org as opposed to what is says about itself. Notability shouldn't really be in question for an org of this size, but strictly speaking that type of outside coverage is required to establish it in the article. Do you think you could find some such?

- Naked weblinks in the references are not ideal, as the reference entry gives no indication of content or author, and they tend to fall prey to WP:LINKROT. These should be formatted as template references, using Template:Cite web. That's not a big issue and I can do it if you prefer. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:25, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

I'm not seeing a response from the requesting editor after the last question and suggestions made by Elmidae. In that case I'm setting the request as answered. The COI editor is free to reopen at will. Regards,  Spintendo  ᔦᔭ  22:32, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you both! I will, in the new year, turn to finding additional secondary sources as you suggested and also have a look at the template references, which are new to me. Thank you very much for having taken the time! Koalava (talk) 10:52, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

This is now live with the improvements suggested by Elmidae. Thanks to both Elmidae and Spintendo for your comments. Koalava (talk) 14:52, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Stratospheric Processes And their Role in Climate into World Climate Research Programme

The actual proposer has made a mistake while proposing merging. The following proposal statement is from Talk:World Climate Research Programme..

@Sadads: Pinging to notify, thanks. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 05:49, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Given that the case is fairly obvious, and there has been no opposition,   Y Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 10:54, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Date of establishment

It is a bit weird. WCRP website says it was established in 1980, but at the same time, they celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2019. That would mean 1979, which is also the date on the IGBP website. TK synantropijny (talk) 16:57, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
