MELUS, anyone?

If anyone is interested in working with Multi-Ethnic U.S. Literature articles, leave me a note here and we'll see if we can get a group together. I've found that Multi-ethnic lit is woefully underrepresented on this site, and it would be great if we could give it the coverage it deserves. If you want to see what needs to be done, run a search for your favorite author, book, etc. and see what kind of coverage it's getting. You might also search for the list of authors in your area, e.g. List of Asian American writers, List of Cuban American writers, etc. and see who's not listed and who doesn't have a page set up. You'll see how sporadic the coverage is!

What to do: you'll probably want to sign up for a free account so that you can use a nickname instead of #s to sign your posts--and you'll need an account to create articles (but anyone can edit). To sign a post, simply add ~~~~ at the end. Then, for a brief cheat-sheet on editing pages, go to Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page. For creating pages, read the information at Wikipedia:Your_first_article. If you're creating a page about an author, consider using the Bio Template as a guide.

Helpful hint: You may want to start by editing existing articles as a way of learning the ropes; use the "edit preview" button to make sure your changes look the way you want them to. And when you want to start an article, the two most important things to include (to make sure your page doesn't get nominated for deletion) are 1) a comment stating the subject's notability and 2) references and/or links to reliable outside sources (not necessarily online, but you can find a lot using Google Scholar and Google Books). You don't need a full article to start a page--you can always come back later to add more. A short description of the subject will suffice, as long as you establish the subject's notability and use reliable sources. Aristophanes68 (talk) 13:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
