CCCCWI Wikipedia as Public Scholarship Workshop


 * Please join us online for our Wikipedia as Public Scholarship on Friday, October 15, 2021 from 3:00PM-4:30PM PT. This introductory workshop will cover editing basics—addressing some of the specific concerns experts face on Wikipedia—and discuss how scholars can use their expertise to advance knowledge equity online. Topics include navigating privacy issues, concerns around conflict of interest, and getting started with articles that need a lot of work.


 * Participants are encouraged to identify an article to work on and register on the event dashboard in advance. We aim to have you editing by the end of the workshop. All comp/rhet scholars are welcome no matter their level of experience with Wikipedia.


 * This event is limited to 20 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.

Conflict of interest templates
In order to avoid conflict of interest (COI) while editing, it is best to disclose any external factors that may affect your contributions to specific topics or sources. Keep these practices in mind:


 * Be transparent about your COI if you have one, post disclosures on the talk page of articles and on your userpage. Copy and paste these templates, respectively, to flag your COI to editors:



Edit the source of your user page and type, then click "save".


 * If you are planning to make larger edits, it is wise to post your potential edits to the talk page of the article. You may request one of the editors watching the article to post these edits for you, after reviewing them. Copy and paste the template below onto the talk page to request an edit:

, then write your edits below it.
