Defining Disability

This month, we are working on defining disability by addressing vital and key articles related to disability and disability 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.

Article worklist

Here we have listed a few vital and key articles for you to edit and contribute to throughout the month.

Vital articles

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.

Article	How vital?	Quality rank	Avg. monthly pageviews	Notes on work needed (feel free to add notes!)
Disability	Level 3	C-class	21,400	Terminology section needs to be expanded The "causes" section needs to be expanded to reflect the social model and the history of capitalism
Ableism	Level 5	C-class	19,620	"Education" section and others need expansion and scholarly sources
