Carbon capture and storage of prunings, crop residue
Hey Femke, Can you take a look at this: Talk:Carbon_capture_and_storage#Composting_or_trench_composting_of_prunings_and_crop_residues Seems important, but not mentioned anywhere here on the wiki. User:Genetics4good
Missleading information in IPCC Sixth Assessment Report
Hello Femkemilene, I've got a question. Reading IPCC Sixth Assessment Report I saw the Table "Shared Socioeconomic Pathways in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report [26]" (Template:AR6 SSP table), which also gives a likelyhood of the given SSPs. However, as far as I knw, the IPCC doesn't state the likelyhood, and if I understand it correctly, the likelyhood is taken from source [27], a comment by Housefather and Peters. I find it deeply troubling that in this article findings from the IPCC and informed guesses in comments are mixed up, especially since I fear most readers don't understand at all, that the likelyhood isn't taken from the IPCC, but from a mere comment. In my opinion, this should be deleted, as it is missleading. The entry is about AR6, not some comment published two years ago. What do you think? Unfortunately I am not that deep in the AR6 that I could change that myself. Greetings, Andol (talk) 14:24, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- I agree that it seems like these likelihoods are attributed to the IPCC and that the IPCC has failed to give probabilities here. The assessment by Hausfather is highly valuable imo, and should be kept, but attributed, and outside of the table. Femke (talk) 17:32, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Regarding misleading information: The IPCC more or less refuses to talk about likelihoods of the IPCC emission scenarios: "the feasibility or likelihood of individual scenarios are not part of the assessment", Box SPM.1.1, WGI AR6. Many readers of the AR reports do not understand the difference between a scenario and a forecast. Therefore it is very much clarifying to give estimates (best guesses) about the likelihood taken from other sources. This will avoid a misdirection of Wikipedia readers, which are in most cases not experts in the lemma's field. Besides the Housefather paper, other publications from the International Energy Agency and the Carbon Action Tracker also suggest that a likely scenario such as Stated Policies/Policies & Action (meaning business as usual according to current state of the art) or Announced Pledges/Pledges & Targets (meaning already committed but not yet implemented policies to GHG reduction) will result in a median temperature rise of 2,6 K and 2,1 K in 2100 according to IEA ([1/3; 2/3] confindence interval 2,4 K – 2,8 K and 1,9 K – 2,3 K) and a median value of 2,7 K and 2,1 K according to CAT. This supports the view that SSP2-4.5 with 2,7 K will be likely, whereas SSP1-2.6 with 1,8 K (range 1,3 K – 2,4 K) needs more efforts than the pledges already in place. SSP1-1.9 with 1,4 K (1,0 K – 1,8 K) needs a stringent intensification of today's climate protection policies and pledges. But SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5 are not likely at all (also because reserve estimations for fossil fuels do suggest they are good for 3400 Gt CO2): they may be useful for intellectual pastimes but are not relevant for practical policy discussions. I'll copy this thread to the relevant discussion page, so it will not get lost in Wikipedia's Vogonian information system. --Gunnar (talk) 11:57, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – April 2022
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2022).
- An RfC is open proposing a change to the minimum activity requirements for administrators.
- Access to Special:RevisionDelete has been expanded to include users who have the
deletelogentry
anddeletedhistory
rights. This means that those in the Researcher user group and Checkusers who are not administrators can now access Special:RevisionDelete. The users able to view the special page after this change are the 3 users in the Researcher group, as there are currently no checkusers who are not already administrators. (T301928) - When viewing deleted revisions or diffs on Special:Undelete a back link to the undelete page for the associated page is now present. (T284114)
- Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures § Opening of proceedings has been updated to reflect current practice following a motion.
- A arbitration case regarding Skepticism and coordinated editing has been closed.
- A arbitration case regarding WikiProject Tropical Cyclones has been opened.
- Voting for the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement guidelines has closed, and the results were that 56.98% of voters supported the guidelines. The results of this vote mean the Wikimedia Foundation Board will now review the guidelines.
Hm!
My extraordinarily high opinion of you and your WP work briefly plummeted :) I was genuinely really confused, haha... I'm considering either Romantic music or Concerto for the TCC (if I do enter at all this time)... any thoughts? Both are barely C class, and the massive list in concerto is especially worrying—it will probably have to be moved, or removed in its entirety! I thought about Symphony, but it seems to be in readable shape at least. Aza24 (talk) 06:39, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- Haha. I usually try to read over my text before publishing to make sure it makes sense..
- Both Romantic music or Concerto are in a terrible state, and VIT4. Romantic music gets 5x the viewership, and is less than a thousands words according to xtools. Concerto is a completely mess.. I wonder if a split is possible there, if a good list-criterion can be found (a bit like list of prominent operas, even if the existance of that list is a bit controversial). Two good choices, with the first a bit more core. Femke (talk) 16:21, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

Thank you for your ongoing work with Antarctica after it was listed on Featured Article Review. I worked on the article long ago and appreciate the time you're spending in cleaning it up. Even if it doesn't survive FAR, your improvements help keep it at a high level of quality.
PS, I hope you're able to recover quickly from long covid! --Mahanga (Talk) 01:05, 19 April 2022 (UTC) |
- Nice of you to drop by! I do hope we can save the article, as it gets almost 2 million pageviews a year. The bones are strong (thanks!), so I think it should be feasible. Feel free to suggest further improvements. Femke (talk) 08:33, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Article for Creation - Irene Goergens
Heya! A while back you declined my AfC for Irene Goergens.I added some more references since then, and a tiny bit of content (there isn't much else to add) and was wondering if you would be willing to reconsider it now? P.S. I hope you had a good holiday Medarduss (talk) 15:07, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- Looks good now! I will accept it once a technical hurdle is removed (there is a WP:redirect in the way). Femke (talk) 17:09, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

- Long COVID. I just came back from holiday so very tired from travelling, but should have enough energy by the end of next week again for a chat. Femke (talk) 20:15, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- I just recovered from COVID, so I totally understand what you are going through. Make sure you allow your body to rest, that's what helped me! I will stop bothering you, and I will get back in touch next week! Also, please let me know if you prefer to talk somewhere else, via email or any other platform.

- Following an RfC, a change has been made to the administrators inactivity policy. Under the new policy, if an administrator has not made at least 100 edits over a period of 5 years they may be desysopped for inactivity.
- Following a discussion on the bureaucrat's noticeboard, a change has been made to the bureaucrats inactivity policy.
- The ability to undelete the associated talk page when undeleting a page has been added. This was the 11th wish of the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey.
- A public status system for WMF wikis has been created. It is located at https://www.wikimediastatus.net/ and is hosted separately to WMF wikis so in the case of an outage it will remain viewable.
- Remedy 2 of the St Christopher case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to place a ban on single-purpose accounts who were disruptively editing on the article St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine or related pages from those pages.

- (Femke might be on holiday) Click "edit this page", then the down arrow to the right of "insert" then "table". Also thinking about the comment above - for people who rarely need a physical keyboard and mouse but do own a TV the Raspberry Pi 400 is cheap, easy to use and takes little space in a cupboard Chidgk1 (talk) 16:43, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
Greta always pays a price for her well-deserved stardom
Hello Femke. Upon returning to Wikipedia after a long break, I found that two years ago you had reverted a minor edit of mine. I had removed the funny mention of Greta Thunberg being "distantly related" to Arrhenius. My intent was that of bettering Wikipedia, in this specific case helping it depart from a tabloid tone - based on false references, too. The referenced source, a blog post, was crystal clear: the blogger had been stricken by Greta's father sharing his first name, Svante, with Arrhenius. Some overexcited Wikipedia author unused to citation, without even reading the source s/he was quoting, decided to describe Greta as a descendant of Svante Arrhenius. LOL. I am happy to notice that such a silly remark has finally found its way out of Greta's article. Thunberg is a gigantic personality, an exceptional woman, and a worldwide civil hero: she needs no tabloid-like tones in encyclopedic articles about her. I am sure you agree by now! 😊 Majorbolz (talk) 08:52, 16 May 2022 (UTC) (Peter, distantly related to the Apostle!)
- Hello :). You're absolutely right I made a mistake there. In biographies of living people, we cannot use blog posts, even if they're published by experts. It wasn't clear that this blog had editorial oversight, so I should not have placed it back. (The article does support the statement though, as it later on states
Greta is distantly related to Svante Arrhenius.
. But that's irrelevant, as we shouldn't be using this source in the first place). Happy to see you back here. Femke (talk) 16:17, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
