This month, we are working to better represent European scholars—Michel Fayol, Liliana Tolchinsky, Jean-Paul Bronckart, Gert Rijlaarsdam, and Montserrat Castelló Badia—and their key works on both field-specific and vital articles within writing studies.
We aim to work together to address knowledge inequities on Wikipedia as we create and contribute to these articles.
Our main goals are to . . .
1. Set writing goals: Create achievable goals for contributions to a target article or articles.
2. Coordinate collaboration: Form writing groups of WikiProject Writing participants interested in improving the same article or articles.
3. Combat knowledge inequities: Address content gaps by creating new content with attention to the research and scholarship of marginalized writing studies teacher-scholars.
Take action by...
1. Choosing an article: Head to our article worklist to find an article you'd like to work on.
2. Setting a goal: Edit our 'Setting goals' section with your suggested plan for the month.
3. Collaborate on an article: Use our resources section to help create a draft, assess notability, find sources, and request feedback.
A few of the scholars listed under the article worklist section have pre-existing Wikipedia articles on Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Basque Wikipedia. If you are interested in translating these articles to live on English Wikipedia, we have listed a few instructions on how to do so using the Content Translation tool*. This tool allows users to easily translate articles by creating a user-friendly side-by-side display and allows you to easily publish or save your article as a draft when you finish. Here's how to access the tool:
Log into Wikipedia
Click on ‘Beta’ at the top right
Scroll down and click on ‘Content Translation’
Click on ‘Save changes’ on the bottom of the page to save the tool
To start translating an article click on ‘Contributions’ and select ‘Translations’ from the drop down menu
For more information on the Content Translation tool, check out the user manual.
*This tool allows new users to publish translations as a draft on English Wikipedia. If you are an extended confirmed users (accounts at least 30 days old with 500 or more edits), you can automatically publish translations to the English Wikipedia mainspace. We encourage both newcomers and experienced Wikipedians to try it out!
Alongside each biography of an academic we've suggested one field-specific article and one general interest, vital article to incorporate their scholarship into. Vital articles are lists of subjects for which the English Wikipedia should have corresponding featured-class articles. They serve as centralized watchlists to track the quality status of Wikipedia's most important articles and to give editors guidance on which articles to prioritize for improvement.

Breadyornot (talk) (I have just created the draft article for Montserrat Castelló Badia. It needs support from spanish language readers and writers and those with greater knowledge of her research contributions. Thank you!) 20:36, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The CCCC Wikipedia Initiative hosts monthly events & office hours. If you need some help getting started, have specific questions, or would like to find space to work on your article alongside your collaborators, these are great spaces to do so:
Drop-in whenever you'd like on Friday, December 10, 2021 from 1:00pm-3:00pm EST for an informal virtual writing group. The CCCC Wikipedian-in-Residence and the CCCC Graduate Fellows will live edit Wikipedia via Twitch on a different topic focus each week. Although we cannot meet physically, we wish to create a online space where scholars can get together and chat about our work. Whether you are working on a project, plan on adding a few sources to an article, or just want to chat with other scholars, this is a great space to do so.
If you would like to discuss something Wikipedia-related one-on-one or get help with a Wikipedia article you’re working on, please feel free to sign up for my office hours on Mondays and Tuesdays or email me to suggest another time (savannahcragin@berkeley.edu).
