Climate Change Knowledge on Wikipedia: A Cross-Language Comparative Analysis
darekj, wlodzimierz

We conducted a comparative assessment focused on article quality, citation indices, article popularity trends over a defined period, and author engagement across different climate-related topics and Wikipedia language editions. To identify the most frequently cited climate change articles, we analyzed over 1 billion wikilinks between articles extracted from Wikimedia dumps. Our initial findings uncover notable variations in the availability and depth of climate change information, reflecting disparities in knowledge dissemination, editorial engagement, and public interest among diverse linguistic communities.
