This month, WikiProject Writing is focused on creating five new articles from our articles in need of creation list. These include biographies of academics and areas of study within writing studies. We aim to work together to address 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. Create or collaborate on an article: Use our resources section to help create a draft, assess notability, find sources, and request feedback.
Choose an article or articles from our worklist you would like to work on. Once you've selected an article, set your goals and create or collaborate on a draft article.

The CCCC Wikipedia Initiative hosts monthly workshops & 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, September 3rd & 17th from 1:00pm-3:00pm EST for an informal virtual writing group. Savannah Cragin, the CCCC Wikipedian-in-Residence, 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.
This introductory workshop covers editing basics with particular attention to some of the specific concerns experts face on Wikipedia and discussion of how academics can use their expertise to advance knowledge equity online. Topics include navigating privacy issues, concerns around conflict of interest, and strategies for getting started with articles that need a lot of work.
This intermediate workshop introduces WikiProject Writing as a collaborative space for coordinating efforts to improve Wikipedia articles related to our areas of expertise. Topics include defining the scope of WikiProject Writing by tagging articles, directing the priorities of WikiProject Writing by assessing articles, and adding to and working from our list of articles in need of work and creation.
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).
