ENGLISH 378 WIKIPEDIA PROJECT You can select a writer we have read or another LGBTQ figure writing and

publishing in the postStonewall Era (so this could include creative figures writing or creating before this period but whose work extended past Stonewall, like James Baldwin, Elizabeth Bishop, Allen Ginsberg, Gore Vidal, etc.; critical figures like Michel Foucault and Susan Sontag; or pop-cultural figures or figures working in other artistic genres whose work included literary elements like Judy Chicago, Andy Warhol or Robert Rauschenberg.) You might also choose from the vast number of authors, critics and authors publishing since 1969. There are many online lists of LGBTQ writers and artists, so if you still are not sure whom to focus on, you might check lists like: http://www.goodreads.com/genres/lgbtq-authors http://www.lambdaliterary.org/ http://gsanetwork.org/BlackedOUTHistory And of course: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LGBT_writers And then you should draft at least 3-4 changes, corrections, emendations, or expanded readings, in the areas of biography, bibliography, theoretical or critical readings, or even an illustrative excerpt of the author's work, to add to her or his page. These do not have to be exhaustive, but they should add something substantial to the page of the writer/artist you select. Please print out the original Wikipedia page, and, after you have made your changes, the edited page. Please note that others across the world very well may use your changes to some degree, so verify any factual information you plan to incorporate; for any interpretive additions, be sure that you could argue them on the merits, and if you have links that buttress your argument, so much the better (and it also means Wikipedia won't flag your changes).
