Wiki For Human Rights 2022 in Turkey

Local

Q2. If you have answered regional or international, please write the country names and any other information that is useful for understanding your proposal.

R. If you would like, please share any websites or social media accounts that your group or organization has.

1. What is the change that you are trying to bring about and why is this important.

As #WikiForHumanRights 2022 Turkey leg, to raise awareness on climate change, pollution and biodiversity in Turkish Wikipedia and to create non-existent articles about environmental issues. We would like to organize an edit-a-thon on the Turkish Wikipedia on the climate crisis and global warming, which are seen as one of the biggest problems of the 21st century.

2. Describe your main approaches or strategies to achieve these changes and why you think they will be effective.

In fact, the main idea we are trying to bring is to fight disinformation and info pollution about the climate crisis, which is the common problem of other languages, as well as opening articles that do not exist in the relevant theme. With this work, we will pursue the mission of presenting more accurate and reliable information on issues related to climate change, biodiversity, agricultural production and environmental pollution in articles edited with reliable sources. With these Wikipedia articles -one of the most referenced guides by the readership- laying a brick in build a more informed society will be the greatest success.

3. What are the activities you will be developing and delivering as part of these approaches or strategies?

As active members, I can say that the main strategy of this project is to gradually eliminate the taboo on privacy and diffidence in face-to-face meetings between Turkish Wikipedia writers, which we observed in previous events and meetings. It reveals the importance of such offline events for the removal of pandemic restrictions and the need for more active members.

We are planning two edit-a-thons with face to face and online.
