Hmmm
Last week... I saw ONE red point in South Africa. And now... I see
none whatsoever.
How can that be ?
We should see 8 points, should not we ?
Hi Florence
Thanks very much for your reply, the map shows Reserves that are
missing articles, however I still need to add some sites to the list
so have a look towards the end of the week and there might be some
appear.
Cheers
John

Hello John
I gave it a quick look and it seemed really really cool.
I saw on the map that there was one non covered region in South
Africa. I will take care of it this week and share my return on
experience.

Hi all
I'm very happy to say that UNESCO has made the official descriptions
of all Biosphere Reserve sites available under a Wikipedia
compatible license. Currently around 440 (out of 670) of the
Biosphere Reserves do not have an English language Wikipedia article.
These descriptions can be used as the missing Wikipedia articles
with very little adaption. I have created (with a lot of help) a
pretty snazzy Wikidata map and a set of instructions to help people
create the missing articles. As far as I know this is the first time
someone has done something like this The people who have already
used the instructions say it takes around 10 minutes to create a new
article, which is quite fast I think. Please give it a try. You can
use the map to see which articles are missing in each country.

I would really love it if you could create some articles (there are
quite a few missing sites in Africa) and also retweet me to help
more people know about it. Once the articles are created in English
I'm hoping that it will make it easier for people to create articles
in other languages as well.
