Energy in Turkey GA Review on hold

Hi Chidgk1. The GA Review of Energy in Turkey is on hold. The main reason is that the article needs development and copy-editing for layout. I'm happy to keep the review open while positive progression is being made. If, however, you feel that there is too much work to be done in a reasonable time frame (by the end of this year for example), I'm OK with closing the review to allow you to work at the article at your own pace.

DYK for Air pollution in Turkey

On 8 December 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Air pollution in Turkey, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that part of the solution to air pollution in Turkey could be electric ferries across the Bosporus? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Air pollution in Turkey. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Air pollution in Turkey), and it may be added to the statistics page if it received over 400 views per hour. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Template:Did you know nominations/Jeyran (wife of Naser al-Din Shah)

Hi, I came by to promote this nomination and I must say you gave the nominator quite a workout. This is not GA or FA; we are just trying to promote start-class articles here. If you feel an article lacks basic information, go ahead and say so, but anything more than that should be discussed on the article talk page. It's also unclear why you fiddled so much with the hook. ALT6, which appears to be the one selected, looks exactly like the nominator's original ALT0, minus one word. This kind of review can really turn off newbies. In future, please just try to evaluate nominations according to the five main DYK criteria. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:31, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Amir Ghandi Hmm Yoninah is right - sorry I got a bit carried away and made you do too much work for DYK. I hope you are not discouraged from doing more DYK as those kind of amusing hooks and beautiful pics are what we need nowadays I think.

By the way if you or people you know are thinking of doing more translation you might like to comment here about the translation tool. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:33, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello again Yoninah - thanks for putting the article in DYK. But I am curious why the picture was not used as that was the hook I approved. Chidgk1 (talk) 17:24, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Pages you nominated for deletion

Hi Chidgk1. Thx for letting me know about your deletion proposals. I do agree, the list is too long, dated, and the number of models will continue to increase in the near future, plus a lot of Chinese models are missing. Those lists made sense 10 years ago when the number of models was very limited. Nevertheless, I think something is mission in the deletion tags in both articles since there is no link to the deletion discussion page that must be created. Let me know when you fix it to support your proposals. Cheers.--Mariordo (talk) 18:58, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Mariordo My proposals are to delete without discussion. If you disagree simply remove the deletion notice (I won't be offended) from the relevant article(s) and then no one will be able to propose deletion without discussion of that article in future. I or anyone else may of course later propose deletion with discussion if we can be bothered. By the way perhaps you know there was a discussion nearly a year ago at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_electric_cars_currently_available so it would not be possible to delete that article without another discussion. Chidgk1 (talk) 19:28, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Thx for the explanation. I did not know we could delete a page without a discussion. Since I agree with you as stated above, I will take no action then. Cheers.--Mariordo (talk) 13:40, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Help on article

Hey Chidgk1,

any chance you want to help out on this ? Talk:Carbon_credit#Missing_info_on_carbon_credit_production-related_software_and_online_tools --Genetics4good (talk) 16:36, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Genetics4good It's an interesting question - so thanks for pointing it out. But I tend to come over to these worldwide articles when I want to relax from thinking about the articles on Turkey I want to work on (because very few other people will do them whereas there are lots of people interested in the worldwide ones). This particular bit seems a bit too much like going back to work rather than relaxation so I am afraid I am going to reply no. I am sure there are thousands of other editors with a software background who might be interested - you could try asking at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing. I hope you succeed and get all those new young investors interested. We don't have a national land cover map here yet - once we have one I hope the tools you or someone finds will be useful as there is so much land which used to be forest but our forests are not increasing fast enough - I need to look for research on where trees can regrow now we have less rainfall - whether they grow naturally or need to be planted - whether our voluntary carbon credits can be traded etc etc. So you have given me lots to think about. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:46, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Some remarks

"because very few other people will do them whereas there are lots of people interested in the worldwide ones" --> If you look on the wikiproject climate change talk, most issues I brought up and which are important have been tackled by no one. I often feel like operating alone (and really, in all wikiprojects, it feels like everyone is working on their own thing and side-by-side rather then with each other) and to be honest, I'm starting to be somewhat annoyed by that (which is not your fault obviously, it's just a feeling I have)

As for feeling like work, yes it feels like work to me too, and sometimes even get nausea even before embarking on the constant work on all this. I think that those wikiprojects should be there to share that workload (along with all related discomforts)

--Genetics4good (talk) 12:51, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Genetics4good Yes you are right it often feels like people in a project are editing in parallel rather than as a team - I guess that is the nature of Wikipedia. I think there are pros and cons to working on unpopular articles. At least what I write rarely gets reverted. And having said that no one else is interested I have to say that when I put something in for "good article review" someone eventually goes through the article pretty thoroughly and suggests lots of improvements - which is very useful. The climate change project is a long term thing I think - not a sprint. So don't burn yourself out - sounds like it is time for you to take a Wikibreak. Oh and in your field of genetics when you come back you will likely find lots of new UK stuff to please you as UK will very likely considerably change the GMO rules they inherited from the EU. Chidgk1 (talk) 15:11, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Chidgk1, you are probably right I need a wikibreak, but I certainly would like to see the issue I brought up at the wikiproject Climate Change solved first. In my book, there is no more important topic to write on concerning climate change then the fact that current emission levels (Paris agreement) are not being met, and it needs to be resolved in the next 11 years (see Climate Clock article) as due to the overshooting of the target by a wide margin, there is almost no more time left before 1,5°C warming is reached and we lose nearly all coral reefs, along with a range of devastating effects (see effects of global warming article, and subarticles).

It bothers me that I've had no cooperation from any other Wikiproject Climate change members on this subject whatsoever, despite being the most important thing to tackle in my book (as previously noted). If you read the post, you'll see I mentioned why I didn't understand why countries simply don't compensate the missing emission reductions left (see climate action tracker) using sufficient carbon sequestration projects (which are cheap, simple and fast to set up, ie through government tenders). I still don't know the answer, but embarked on adding info on the tenders on our wiki and the software tools articles I proposed recently are also part of facilitating the easy of setup of carbon sequestration projects further.

I'm hoping you could look at the whole thing, or at least engage some other wikiproject climate change members to work on this. How about you start the Emission reductions by NDC article and just add the info on Turkey's NDC (using the table I proposed) ? The idea I have is that real life emission reductions might differ considerably from the "projected" emission reduction per measure listed in the NDC. The issue then might be that the designated national authority of the country (ministry of environment, ...) only looks at those projected emission reductions and not on the actual emission reductions, meaning they don't know they're not reaching the Paris agreement goal (that's just one possibility of a range of possibilities why the goals aren't reached). In any case, by increasing coverage on all this, we should get some better understanding of why the goals aren't being reached.
