Article worklist
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.

Scholars
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.

Key articles
Each key article has a relevant list of scholarship to consider incorporating.

CCCCWI Speaker Series: Multilingual Writers in Digital Space
This month, join us in discussing multilingual writers' experiences in digital space and improving knowledge equity on Wikipedia. Alexandra Krasova — a PhD Candidate in Composition and Applied Linguistics at Indiana University of Pennsylvania — will share her research on multilingual students’ writing practices and reflect on multilingual writers’ experiences in digital space. She will explain why it is important to include multilingual writers to promote digital equity and inclusivity. Finally, Alexandra will focus on multilinguals in Wikipedia and discuss the reasons why their practices vary and how it contributes to knowledge equity.

After the talk, participants will be trained on how to edit Wikipedia. After training, participants will have the opportunity to improve and create Wikipedia articles related to pivotal scholars and scholarship about multilingual writers in digital space.
