Format guidelines
[Partial edit]
For new position announcements, please add the relevant information: School, specialty, due date, and link to job description, if available.

As job search progress indicators become available, add the type of information and date preceded by a hyphen on the next line after the position announcement. The link to a job description can be deleted after the application due date.

After an offer has been accepted, please underline the name of the institution so that we can easily see which positions have already been filled.

For example:

 1. Midwest Dreamland U, 16/17th c., due 11/1/08 - updates:
    - writing sample requested by e-mail 11/5
    - phone interview scheduled 11/20
    - MLA interview scheduled 12/3
    - on-campus interview invitation 1/12

    - offer extended 3/11
    - offer accepted 3/25
    - rejection letter received 4/1 (Rejection letters received after the on-campus visits.)

How to use this wiki
[Partial edit]

  * Editing is easy! If you know of information that should be added or changed, click the "Edit page" button and add it. The formatting conventions are pretty easy to understand.
  * For second-hand and uncertain information, the result of last year's discussion seems to be that you should add the information, but identify it as such. Check last year's wiki for examples.
  * Do keep in mind that edits and discussion page posts will be tied to your IP address. If you're concerned about identifying yourself, post from home or a public terminal. On the other hand, it's not like the whole world doesn't already know you're on the market.
  * The discussion page is pretty unsatisfactory. Other disciplines have different discussion forums (see, for example, Link Classics). If someone has a better solution than the discussion page here, please make a suggestion.

In case of vandalism, don't panic. Click on the history page. Click on the latest pre-vandalism revision. Click 'Edit' and save. The vandalism is now gone. ACTUALLY, THEY JUST CHANGED THE URL: TAKE OUT "/wiki" AFTER "academe." (You may need to reload the page to see the changes.)
