Here are the most urgent tasks that need to be done on the wiki.
The
HomePage has tips on using the Wiki software to edit, how to format entries properly, and other helpful information.
Discussion of our work on the
Guide takes place on the
Talk Page.
Migration of Media Stereotypes Database
The media stereotypes database is currently
here. The information there needs to be transferred to the
Media Portrayals page and the descriptions pages linked therefrom, following the pattern I have started. This is a fairly mechanical task that will help you learn how to use the Wiki software and doesn't require any writing work.
The
Media Portrayals page should also eventually include a fuller explanation of each type of portrayal, a longer narrative on the origins and durability of problematic portrayals, and a longer list of references. Eventually, sections may be broken up and migrate to their own pages.
New Hate Crimes Database
We need to develop the
Hate Crimes page. Its format should be analogous to the current
Media Portrayals page, with descriptions of individual hate crimes on their own pages.
