CCCCWI Getting Started with WikiProject Writing Workshop

Please join us online for the Getting Started with WikiProject Writing workshop on Friday, February 26, 2021 from 12:00PM-1:30PM ET. This workshop will introduce you to WikiProject Writing as a collaborative space for coordinating efforts to improve Wikipedia articles related to our areas of expertise. Topics will 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.
We encourage you to register on the event dashboard and familiarize yourself with WikiProject Writing beforehand. We aim to have you collaborating on WikiProject Writing by the end of the workshop.
All comp/rhet scholars with a basic level of Wikipedia editing skills are welcome. This event is limited to 15 participants.

Conflict of interest templates

[edit]

In order to avoid conflict of interest (COI) while editing, it is best to disclose any external factors that may affect your contributions to specific topics or sources. Keep these practices in mind:

  • Be transparent about your COI if you have one, post disclosures on the talk page of articles and on your userpage. Copy and paste these templates, respectively, to flag your COI to editors:
Connected contributor template
{{Connected contributor|User1=Your username |U1-declared=yes| U1-otherlinks=(Optional)

Insert relevant affiliations, disclosures, article drafts or diffs showing COI contributions.}}

UserboxCOI template

Edit the source of your user page and type {{UserboxCOI|1=Wikipedia article name}}, then click "save".

  • If you are planning to make larger edits, it is wise to post your potential edits to the talk page of the article. You may request one of the editors watching the article to post these edits for you, after reviewing them. Copy and paste the template below onto the talk page to request an edit:
Request edit template
{{request edit}}, then write your edits below it.
