Centering BIPOC Women in Writing Studies

WikiProject Writing logo in pink

This Women's History Month WikiProject Writing aims to improve the coverage of BIPOC women scholars of language, literacy, rhetoric, and writing and their contributions to these fields. We aim to address ongoing systemic racial bias on Wikipedia through our efforts.

This month, our goals are to …

  • Expand our lists of ‘redlinked’ articles in need of creation and articles in need of improvement that focus on, or could benefit from, the expertise represented in scholarship by BIPOC women scholars of language, literacy, rhetoric, and writing.
  • Create or expand and improve biographic articles on notable BIPOC women scholars of language, literacy, rhetoric, and writing studies.
  • Expand and improve a core set of high-traffic articles on topics of vital significance to the general public with a focus on citing and integrating knowledge from peer-reviewed scholarship by BIPOC women scholars of language, literacy, rhetoric, and writing studies.

Please join us!


Worklist

  

To coordinate our efforts and promote collaboration, we encourage you to let everyone know what article or parts of an article you’re working on. Here are a few great ways to use this list:

  1. Add articles you are working on along with a note about your plans and where you might like help.
  2. Add links to any draft articles you've created. (NB: When you create a draft others are able to edit this page alongside you. Whether or not you invite others to collaborate on the draft, it is important to mention that you are currently working on it so we can avoid the creation of the same article multiple times.)
  3. Reply to others if you would like to collaborate with them. You can respond below their comment with a note about your plans for contributions.

Whenever you post a note to other editors, be sure to sign it with ~~~~ to leave a digital signature. If you are responding to someone else's comment and are not sure how to format your reply using wikitext, follow the example listed at WP:THREAD. You will also find directions in the markup when you click on 'Edit source.'

  • I will be working on creating a basic draft for Gwendolyn D. Pough. I will add a link to my sandbox when I have started to create the article, any edits are welcome and appreciated. Breadyornot (talk) 15:31, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Articles in need of improvement

  

We welcome you to edit this page to add existing Wikipedia articles to this list that could benefit from the expertise represented in scholarship by BIPOC women scholars of language, literacy, rhetoric, and writing (as well as these scholars). If you can, please provide a short description of the edits needed to improve the article.

  • Life writing - just getting started, no mention of comp/rhet scholarship

Articles in need of creation

  

We welcome you to edit this page to add an article to our list of articles that don't yet but should exist on Wikipedia related to the scholarship of BIPOC women scholars of language, literacy, rhetoric, and writing. If you are unsure about whether a specific scholar or topic would be considered notable by the larger Wikipedian community, review the notability criteria for academics or leave a note on our talk page to ask other members of WikiProject Writing what they think. If you can, please provide a source or scholar that might be helpful in starting the article.

Major scholars

  

We have compiled a list of notable BIPOC scholars in need of creation and major edits, please join us in creating these pages. We also welcome you to add additional sources & scholars, keeping in mind the notability criteria for academics.

When creating a new article, we recommend submitting it in the draft space for review and feedback from experienced Wikipedia editors. Here's how:

  1. OPTION 1: Use the Wikipedia Article Wizard tutorial. This will walk you through step-by-step how to create a draft in a few easy steps.
  2. OPTION 2: Draft the article in your sandbox. This can be found in the top right of any Wikipedia page next to the 'Talk' button. (NOTE: You must be logged in to find your sandbox).
    1. Use this space to create your article. When you feel that is ready to be reviewed, click 'More' on the top right next to the star icon. Then, select 'Move' from the dropdown menu.
    2. Under new title, select 'Draft' from the drop down menu.
    3. Next to this field, change the name of the article from your sandbox to the topic of the article (i.e. Tamika L. Carey).
    4. Under the 'Reason' field write 'Ready for draftspace.'
    5. Deselect the 'Move associated talk page' box.
    6. Select 'Move page' and you're done! Look out for a review of your draft article.

When you submit a draft, let us know on the talk page. We would love to review the article as well.

Vital articles

  

Please join us in improving high traffic, general interest articles related to language, literacy, rhetoric, and writing.

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.
