and keep it snappy. You can add some different options if you want. Eg. "... that climate change in Kenya is threatening tea harversts?" "... that climate change in Kenya has caused previously glacier-fed rivers to stop flowing in some seasons?" "... that malaria is expected to become more prevalent due to the impacts of climate change in Kenya?" "... that climate change in Kenya might cause over 10% of country's diarrhoeal deaths in 2050?" "...that the Kenyan
Government has created a specific action plan to adapt to the impacts of climate change in Kenya?". Reading a bit more closely I think some copyediting is needed to reduce close paraphrasing, but this can be done after the nomination.
226:. For those nominations which are approved, a short and interesting fact from the article will be included on the Knowledge (XXG) front page for 12 hours or a day. Nomination is not a guarantee of success, and reviewers may request some changes, but the DYKers are generally a friendly bunch so don't let this put you off. Please be aware that this needs to be done as soon as possible, as submissions must be made within a week of creation. Instructions for nominations can be found at
344:
It can be fast if you know what you're doing. There's no problem with multiple nominations, and nominations aren't reviewed in any particular order. I think Kenya and
Tanzania are the best options. Pakistan isn't a large enough expansion to qualify. Nigeria may qualify but it's not as good an article
406:
Anyone can nominate, just include the names of the writers in the nomination. The writers still get credit. The hook needs to be less than 200 characters, and have a specific source. I've seen nominations be rejected for being too jargon heavy too, so it should be widely understandable. I'd also try
387:. You can propose multiple sentences and the reviewer will then select the most interesting one / properly cited one. I think a second proposal could be that 'sea level rise of just 30 cm will pose a threat of flooding to 17% of Kenya's second-largest city, Mombasa'
264:-- most of the rest of the articles have been expansions, that may or may not qualify because of age of article + not reaching the scale of expansion needed for DYK. I don't have time to develop that, but if you want to nominate -- welcome it,
314:
For an experienced editor, nominating them will cost about half an hour. You need one fact from the article with a citation. If there are major problems with the new article (big neutrality issues f.i.), reviewers will request you solve them.
363:
OK, let's start with Kenya then. Is it a problem that I nominate it without having been involved in it? Also, what do you suggest as the hook? Example for a hook: | hook = ... that a lot of people died during the
373:? Maybe: " ... temperatures in Kenya have already increased by 1 degree Celsius due to climate change in Kenya and that this creates water security challenges and puts pressure on major parts of the economy",

When you edit about countries it is important to add that a good country page should include a paragraph about environment and some basic information in the lead section: the place of the country in the

Dear edit-a-thon participants, I would like to encourage those who have created a new article (or expanded an article that was previously just a stub) as part of this event to submit their articles to

Tanzania is certainly big enough to nominate already, and there's no reason to stop working during the nomination process so long as the hook stays intact and general standards are maintained.
