Article worklist
Here we have listed a few vital and key articles for you to edit and contribute to throughout the month.

Vital articles
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.

Other key articles
These articles are high-traffic and high-importance articles that define public understandings of disability.

CCCCWI Coffeehouse (Now Streaming on Twitch)

Drop-in whenever you'd like on Friday, October 1st, 15th, and 29th from 1:00pm-3:00pm EST for an informal virtual writing group.
