CCCCWI Getting Started with WikiProject Writing Workshop

Please join us online for the Getting Started with WikiProject Writing workshop on Friday, October 22, 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.
