WikiProject Writing logo in yellow

This Wikipedia Asian Month, we are working to better represent Asian/Asian American scholars and their key works into both general interest and vital articles within writing studies. We aim to work together to address inequities on Wikipedia as we create and contribute to these articles.

Our main goals are to . . .

1. Set writing goals: Create achievable goals for contributions to a target article or articles.

2. Coordinate collaboration: Form writing groups of WikiProject Writing participants interested in improving the same article or articles.

3. Combat knowledge inequities: Address content gaps by creating new content with attention to the research and scholarship of marginalized writing studies teacher-scholars.


Take action by...

1. Choosing an article: Head to our article worklist to find an article you'd like to work on.

2. Setting a goal: Edit our 'Setting goals' section with your suggested plan for the month.

3. Collaborate on an article: Use our resources section to help create a draft, assess notability, find sources, and request feedback.
