Article worklist
Choose an article or articles from our worklist you would like to work on. Once you've selected an article, set your editing goals for the month. Articles linked in red have yet to be created on Wikipedia. Draft articles are in-progress and receive feedback from experienced Wikipedia editors before being published into the Wikipedia article mainspace. Each article has a content assessment rating next to them, with the exception of redlinked and draft articles. For more information on content assessments, click on the hyperlink attached to an article's rating.

September programs & events
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 9/30 @ 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: Addressing Academic Challenges to Wikipedia Editing

Friday 9/23 @ 4:00pm-5:30pm EST

(limited to 15 participants)

This month, join us in discussing and addressing some of the critical challenges scholars face while editing Wikipedia. Dr. Jennifer Johnson—a Continuing Lecturer at the University of California Santa Barbara Writing Program—will discuss her experience collaborating with the CCCCWI as a recipient of the Bazerman Faculty Fellowship for Professional Development. Topics will include an overview of Dr. Johnson's experience editing and organizing with Wikipedia and a discussion of new research pathways for fostering understanding between Wikipedia and scholarly values.

After the talk, participants will be trained on how to edit Wikipedia and navigate some of the challenges discussed. After training, participants will have the opportunity to improve and create articles related to WikiProject Writing's September Spotlight on Writing Programs.
