Get started edit

After logging in or creating an account and signing in to our event dashboard, complete these steps to begin:

Step One: Head to our article worklist to find an article you'd like to work on.

Step Two: Create achievable goals for the month by reviewing our writing recommendations section.

Step Three: Use our editing resources section to help create a draft, assess notability, find sources, and/or request feedback.

Writing recommendations edit

Find an article you are interested in working on from our article worklist below.

Create achievable goals for the month. Here are a few writing recommendations based on weekly time segments:

If you have fifteen minutes each week . . .

  • Add a few citations to a draft article
  • Add a few selected publications or notable awards to a biography of an academic
  • Suggest revisions and point to sources on the talk page

If you have thirty minutes each week . . .

  • Expand a stub article with a new section or a few paragraphs

If you have an hour or more each week . . .

  • Draft an article in need of creation (redlinks)

Article worklist edit

Below are lists of Wikipedia articles in need of edits and creation. Scholars and key topics linked in 'red' are articles that have yet to be created on Wikipedia. For additional scholarship, please reference the selected bibliography curated by Dr. Katie Bramlett on Genres of Memory and Asian/American Activism.

Scholars edit

Alongside each scholar, we've suggested one field-specific article and one general interest, high impact article to incorporate relevant scholarship into. In addition, there is a section for establishing notability. The sources listed there are important to include to signal to other Wikipedia editors that the scholar is notable enough to have an article written on them.
