Select an article from the article worklist section to get started! A few of the scholars listed under the article worklist section have pre-existing Wikipedia articles on Spanish and Portuguese Wikipedia. If you are interested in translating these articles to live on English Wikipedia, we have listed a few instructions on how to do so using the Content Translation tool*. This tool allows users to easily translate articles by creating a user-friendly side-by-side display and allows you to easily publish or save your article as a draft when you finish. Here's how to access the tool:
For more information on the Content Translation tool, check out the user manual. *This tool allows new users to publish translations as a draft on English Wikipedia. If you are an extended confirmed user (accounts at least 30 days old with 500 or more edits), you can automatically publish translations to the English Wikipedia mainspace. We encourage both newcomers and experienced Wikipedians to try it out! Alongside each biography of an academic we've suggested a few field-specific articles and one general interest, vital article to incorporate their 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.
Sign up hereAdd your username, goals for article creation, and any specific articles you'll be working on below, alongside your name and a goal or goals you aim to achieve by the end of the month. Additionally, if you plan to collaborate on an article with another participant or participants you may opt to list collaborators and/or invite others to join you.
The CCCC Wikipedia Initiative hosts monthly workshops & office hours. 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 (Now Streaming on Twitch) Friday 1/14 and 1/28 @ 1:00pm-3:00PM EST
Drop-in whenever you'd like on Friday, January 14th and 28th from 1:00pm-3:00pm EST for an informal virtual writing group. The CCCC Wikipedian-in-Residence and the CCCC Graduate Fellows will live edit Wikipedia via Twitch on a different topic focus each week. Although we cannot meet physically, we wish to create a online space where scholars can get together and chat about our work. Whether you are working on a project, plan on adding a few sources to an article, or just want to chat with other scholars, this is a great space to do so. Wikipedia as Public Scholarship Friday 1/7 @ 3:00pm-4:30pm EST (limited to 10 participants) This introductory workshop covers editing basics with particular attention to some of the specific concerns experts face on Wikipedia and discussion of how academics can use their expertise to advance knowledge equity online. Topics include navigating privacy issues, concerns around conflict of interest, and strategies for getting started with articles that need a lot of work. Getting Started with WikiProject Writing Friday 1/21 @ 12:00pm-1:30pm EST (limited to 10 participants) This intermediate workshop introduces WikiProject Writing as a collaborative space for coordinating efforts to improve Wikipedia articles related to our areas of expertise. Topics include defining the scope of WikiProject Writing by tagging articles, directing the priorities of WikiProject Writing by assessing articles, and adding to and working from our list of articles in need of work and creation. Mondays & Tuesdays OR by appointment
If you would like to discuss something Wikipedia-related one-on-one or get help with a Wikipedia article you’re working on, please feel free to sign up for my office hours on Mondays and Tuesdays or email me to suggest another time (savannahcragin@berkeley.edu).
