Spotlight on Global & Non-Western Rhetorics

WikiProject Writing logo in blue

This month, join us in creating and improving articles on scholars at various intersections of comparative rhetorical studies (both classical and modern origins) and non-western/global traditions that are reflected in particular languages, cultures, and regions. This spotlight is hosted in collaboration with the Global & Non-Western Rhetorics Standing Group of the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC).


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.

Writing recommendations

[edit]

Find an article you are interested in working on from our article worklist below.

Create achievable goals for the month. Here are a few writing recommendations based on weekly time segments:

If you have fifteen minutes each week . . .

  • Add a few citations to an article
  • Update or add a few setences to a biography of an academic
  • Add notable scholarship and resources to the 'See also' section of an article
  • Suggest revisions and point to sources on the talk page

If you have thirty minutes each week . . .

  • Expand an article with a new section or a few paragraphs

If you have an hour or more each week . . .

  • Draft an article in need of creation and link it to a pre-exisitng high traffic article (redlinks)
  • Restructure a pre-exisiting article (make sure to suggest your revisions on the talk page first!)

Article worklist

[edit]

Alongside each biography of an academic, we've suggested a few field-specific articles and general interest, vital articles to incorporate relevant scholarship into. 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.'
