The ever changing article of Climate change on Wikipedia

On Wikipedia, every single change of a page is saved, stored and can be reviewed. This is how Wikipedia work. In a recent article in Mashable the people tending to the article Climate change on English Wikipedia were featured. It described what they do and how they discuss the changes to the article. But how does this look like? This video artwork will visualize the changes of the article over time.


How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:

Since this is a prerecorded video, this is not applicable.

We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:

This work will set to inspire people by showing how even a huge page on Wikipedia is gradually built to become better and that many small and continuous improvements make a difference. Hopefully people seeing this will feel more inclined to start editing small on Wikipedia.

I also want to document the methods being used to create the video, so that it more easily can be repeated for other topics by anyone.
