Editing Wikipedia[edit]

Research resources[edit]

Each name listed in the "Articles to work on" section has a corresponding bio as well as additional research to spruce up its Wiki article. The information was so graciously prepared by Ayda, an NPR librarian. The linked Google Docs are open to anyone with a link to the information.

Articles to work on[edit]

Add inline citations[edit]

The information in these articles needs to be more clearly linked to the sources that provided it. Check out the Wikipedia article on Citing Sources for help with citations.

Write more on these articles[edit]

Any of these articles could have more written about them.

Advanced! Add images to these articles[edit]

Adding images is fun, but finding ones that are appropriately licensed can be tough. Check out the Wikipedia Picture Tutorial and Uploading Images for help adding images.

Advanced! Look for ways to improve these articles[edit]

These articles don't have obvious improvements needed. To improve one of them, you'll need to read it carefully and find places where the subject's story could be better told or better cited.

Advanced! Create a new article[edit]

Create a new article for these people.
