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:
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.'
This month we are starting from scholarship. Below you'll find links to each academic journal article published in the special issue of Enculturation titled "Rhetorics and Literacies of Climate Change." Alongside each journal article we've suggested a few vital, general interest, and field specific Wikipedia articles that might benefit from their expertise. We invite you to edit and contribute to the Wikipedia articles listed here and to suggest more. If you see a topic or person not mentioned here based on the article listed, please add this to our list. 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. |
Creating new article drafts |
When creating a new article, we recommend submitting it in the draft space for review and feedback from experienced Wikipedia editors. Here's how:
When you submit a draft, let us know on the talk page. We would love to review the article as well.
