	~~== Canonical List ==~~

	Our research began by developing a foundational, continuously evolving canonical list of figures, organizations, and cultural entities that shaped the history of Chicago hip-hop, drawing on foundational lists compiled in the 1980s and 1990s.

	'''[[Special:AllPages\|<nowiki/>'The List'<nowiki/>]]''' is a verified and structured dataset built from archival research, community consultation, and student-led research/documentation. 'The List' currently has '''[[Special:AllPages\|{{#ask:
	~~[[~*]]~~
	~~\|namespace=0~~
	~~\|format=count~~
	~~}} total unique pages]]'''~~
	including [https://hip-hop.digital.uic.edu/wiki2/index.php/Special:Ask?q=%5B%5BCategory%3AUnknown%20Entity%5D%5D&p%5Bformat%5D=table '''{{#ask: [[Category:Unknown Entity]] \| namespace=0 \| format=count}} unknown artists'''] that we are currently working to identify. Please see our [[The Chicago Hip-Hop History Project: Editors\| '''editors''']] and [[The Chicago Hip-Hop History Project: Inclusion Criteria\| '''inclusion criteria''']] pages for more information about our research team and data collection methods.

	~~== Survey of Wikipedia ==~~

	~~Alongside this growing knowledge base, we are developing computational methods to examine the scope and structure of hip-hop scholarship already published on Wikipedia.~~

	Wikipedia is widely considered the largest general reference source in human history. It receives around 1 billion unique visits per month, ranking consistently among the top 10 most-visited websites in the world.

	~~There is currently no established system for analyzing the representation of Chicago’s hip-hop scholarship on Wikipedia.~~
	To address this, we are using Semantic MediaWiki, the same open-source platform that underlies Wikipedia, so that our data are structured, shareable, and machine-readable for integration with broader digital humanities research.

	By comparing patterns between our curated data and Wikipedia’s existing content, we identify coverage gaps, evaluate the quality and reliability of cited sources, and map where Chicago’s contributions remain underrepresented. These findings directly inform a prioritized plan for Wikipedia editing, guiding students and collaborators as they work to expand, correct, and strengthen hip-hop scholarship across open-knowledge platforms.

	~~==Disambiguation and Entity Reconciliation==~~
	Many artists and organizations appear under slightly different names or share names with unrelated subjects. Our student researchers verify and resolve ambiguous or duplicate names by working closely with the staff at the Chicago Hip-Hop Heritage Museum and other community partners.

	We also perform [[The Chicago Hip-Hop History Project: Entity reconciliation\|entity reconciliation]], a process that aligns our canonical list of Chicago hip-hop figures, organizations, and cultural entities with corresponding entries on Wikipedia and Wikidata.

	~~== Bibliometric Survey ==~~

	~~At the core of the project is a bibliographic survey of Wikipedia, designed to quantify how Chicago’s hip-hop history has been represented—and where it remains invisible.~~

== Survey of Wikipedia ==

Alongside this growing knowledge base, we are developing computational methods to examine the scope and structure of hip-hop scholarship already published on Wikipedia.
