Wikipedia:WikiProject Electronic literature

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wikipedia:ELIT)
Students at the Electronic Literature Organization conference in Waterloo, Canada. July 10 2025

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 Our work is in danger of being overlooked as it may not be published or reviewed in venues traditionally considered notable sources.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]

We are developing notability guidelines for electronic literature. See Wikipedia:Notability_(ELIT). 4-10-2026 And we will devote the editathon on 4-16-2026 to developing these criteria. Please join in our conversation.

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 latest one was July 10, 2025 at the Electronic Literature Organization's 25th Conference in Toronto.


[edit]

Describe the work We need 5 to 10 word descriptions of each work at List of electronic literature works. Please go to List of electronic literature works, click on a link, read the summary. Write out a 5 - 10 word summary. then click on the List of electronic literature works again, click on edit, and paste that summary. Make sure each work has a publication year.

Identify elit people Go to Wikimedia, enter category:Electronic literature, and identify the folks who attended the ELO 2025 conference in Toronto.

Tasks you can help with

[edit]
  • Add Add to the list of missing articles! You can add topics we should have articles on, or add links to sources we could use.
  • Add and edit infoboxes If an article does not have an info box, please add, and if it does, please edit for more information, photos if possible, etc. See Help:Infobox
  • 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". See a .
  • Find reviews If a book (or work of e-lit) has two reviews in independent, reliable sources, it is notable per WP:NBOOK and eligible for its own Wikipedia article. If an author has two notable works they are also notable (WP:AUTHOR. So adding info about reviews to relevant articles or their talk pages is very helpful. Here’s [User:LEvalyn/Where_to_find_book_reviews|how to find conventional reviews]. For e-lit works you may be more likely to find discussion of the works in scholarly articles, and this also counts if it’s “significant” (typically a paragraph or more). Look in Google Scholar and Google Books to find these.

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.
