CCCCWI Getting Started with WikiProject Writing Workshop

Please join us online for the Getting Started with WikiProject Writing workshop on Friday, May 20, 2022 from 1:30PM-3:00PM ET. This workshop will introduce you to WikiProject Writing as a collaborative space for coordinating efforts to improve Wikipedia articles related to our areas of expertise. Topics will 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.

We encourage you to register on the event dashboard and familiarize yourself with WikiProject Writing beforehand. We aim to have you collaborating on WikiProject Writing by the end of the workshop.

All comp/rhet scholars with a basic level of Wikipedia editing skills are welcome. This event is limited to 10 participants. The workshop will be hosted on Zoom by Savannah Cragin, the CCCC Wikipedian-in-Residence. This event is sponsored by the CCCC Wikipedia Initiative with funding from the Wikimedia Foundation.
