The section "regional impacts" is problematic edit
I have a problem with the section "regional impacts".
- Firstly, it's the same title as the article's title which is somehow odd.
- Secondly, it leads to repetition because e.g. Africa is mentioned there and then again later in the "most vulnerable" section.
- Thirdly, the section is just a collection of bullet point lists (where it's unclear if all bullet points for one region come from the same reference, or if the sources of the bullet points are different). It will be hard to keep those bullet points up to date, and we are linking to the relevant sub-articles. Should we maybe just use excerpts from those regional sub-articles? Although we only have the following sub-articles for regions so far: Europe, Africa, South Asia, Caribbean, MENA. We have a lot of country articles by now though (52). Maybe we rather just point people there?
I like the sections that come later in this article, it's just the section called "regional impacts" which I find problematic. EMsmile (talk) 08:38, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- I've tried to improve the situation by renaming the section to "By region" and moving it towards the end of the article, therefore giving it less significance. It's still not great. Wondering if those bullet point lists are adding that much value or if they just repeat what is said elsewhere in the article. EMsmile (talk) 03:57, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
