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.

The Women's Electronic Literature Writers Project will host an in-person and online edit-a-thon with
Washington State University at Vancouver,
University of Colorado, and
University of California at San Diego. 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 the edit-a-thon. Here is our list of suggested edits.
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 Our work is in danger of being overlooked as it may not be published or reviewed in venues traditionally considered notable sources.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!
Date: Thursday August 15 Time: 3 PM UTC Location:online and at the University of California, San Diego, and the University of Colorado, Washington State University at Vancouver

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.
