Article worklist
Alongside each biography of an academic, we've suggested a few field-specific articles and general interest, vital articles to incorporate relevant scholarship into. 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. Additionally, scholars and topics linked in 'red' are articles that have yet to be created on Wikipedia.

Additional sources

 * NOTE: Blogs are not considered reliable secondary sources on Wikipedia. They cannot be used as direct citations on Wikipedia. However, this source may lead to reputable sources that may be cited directly (i.e. journal articles, books, conference presentations, etc).

Navigating the community

 * CCCCWI Advice Manual: Getting Input From the Community
 * Cite established guidelines when interacting with the community. These are community-generated and drive concensus building:
 * Make technical articles understandable
 * Many things to many people
 * Featured article criteria

Dealing with disputes

 * If you encounter a dispute or disagreement, follow the guidance below:
 * If an article content question is just between two editors, you can simply and quickly ask for a third opinion on the Third opinion page.
 * If more than two editors are involved or the issue is complex, dispute resolution is available through the Dispute resolution noticeboard.

October workshops & office hours
The CCCC Wikipedia Initiative hosts monthly workshops, office hours, and coffeehouses. If you need some help getting started, have specific questions, or would like to find space to work on your article alongside your collaborators, these are great spaces to do so:

CCCCWI Coffeehouse (Streaming on Twitch)

Friday 10/14 @ 1:00pm-2:00PM EST

Curious about how different people navigate editing Wikipedia? Drop-in whenever you'd like from 1:00pm-2:00pm ET on Twitch where CCCC scholars and/or the CCCC Wikipedian-in-residence will live edit Wikipedia on a different topic focus.

-- CCCCWI Speaker Series: Disability in the Rhetoric and Writing Classroom

Friday 10/28 @ 1:00pm-3:00pm EST

(limited to 25 participants)

This month, join us in discussing the importance of prioritizing accessibility in our writing classrooms. Millie Hizer—a PhD Candidate in Rhetoric and Composition at Indiana University, Bloomington—will draw from pivotal scholarship at the intersection of Disability and Writing Studies to trace a non-linear history of disability and accessibility in the field of Rhetoric and Composition. Ultimately, she will reflect on the role this scholarship has played in her development as an emerging, multiply disabled teacher-scholar who plans to dedicate her career towards increasing access in both the writing classroom and higher education more broadly.

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 at the intersection of Disability and Writing Studies.
