From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wikipedia:Elit)

Electronic literature (elit) is literature that uses digital elements, such as games, hypertext linking, sounds, images, and videos. Both electronic literature works and writers are underrepresented in Wikipedia, and this project will help create articles that will explain elit's impact over the last few decades, as elit has influenced video and alternative reality games, hypertext language and programming, and more.

About Electronic Literature Project

[edit]

Electronic Literature enthusiasts are working together to create and improve Wikipedia articles for digital media writing. Wikipedia articles inform AI, which informs the world. So we need to get the word out about our wonderful field of literature that uses games, images, sound, navigation, virtual reality and more. Our work is in danger of being overlooked as it may not be published or reviewed in venues traditionally considered notable sources. Moreover, this is a volunteer effort, and we need YOU to volunteer and edit!

Recent News

[edit]

The Women's Electronic Literature Writers Project meets online only every Third Thursday at 3 pm UTC. All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. We will present an overview of the Electronic Literature writers page, explain the status and information. A brief overview of the basics of Wikipedia editing will be given at the start of each edit-a-thon.

We have provided edit-a-thons at many events, and our next one is July 10 at the Electronic Literature Organization's 25th Conference in Toronto.

  • Translate articles Put the template "" on the talk page of each article you translate from other languages.
  • Categorize Add categories to articles (at the bottom of each article). Note that articles should be in the most specific subcategory. So "American electronic literature writers" instead of "Electronic literature writers".

Women Electronic Literature Writers Sub Project

[edit]

Women electronic literature writers is a sub-project started in 2022. We meet monthly on the Third Thursday at Three pm UTC, and anyone is welcome to join in. Women writers are underrepresented on Wikipedia, so this project focuses on addressing that gap. Editors of any gender are welcome in Women Electronic Literature Writers. We have been contributing to English, Spanish, and French Wikipedias and we would love to build the capacity for writing, editing and improving articles in these and other languages. We partner with and mutually support mission-aligned projects like Women in Red (WIR) and Women Do News and we gratefully acknowledge our fellow Wikipedians who have supported our work since its beginning. We:

  • Write new Wikipedia biographies of electronic literature academics, writers, and critics.
  • Edit existing Wikipedia biographies and works to improve their quality
  • Identify notable and influential writers and works who should be on Wikipedia
  • Facilitate edit-a-thons and workshops to research women in journalism, edit their Wikipedia biographies and teach others how to become Wikipedia editors.

See the list of women electronic literature writers.

Categorization

[edit]

To follow the rules in WP:NAVIGATION we should put articles about individual works or writers or critics in the most specific subcategories we can. So a Brazilian work published in 2015 would be put in the categories Category:2010s electronic literature works and Category:Brazilian electronic literature works. An article about a Canadian-Russian writer of electronic literature would be put in the categories Category:Canadian electronic literature writers and Category:Russian electronic literature writers. This means that the article can be accessed both via Category:Russian writers by genre and Category:Electronic literature writers by nationality. Here is the current category tree:

Note that when we get new nationalities, we need to add those categories to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Literature_by_medium
