You Can Work on Whatever You Want BUT

[edit]

There are a ton articles about comics on Wikipedia. Many of these articles need edited to meet community standards. If you want to be Batman you have to be willing to clean up Gotham City.


There is a shortage of articles about women on Wikipedia. Be a hero, or at least a good citizen, and help change that.


A lot of real life heroes of the Civil Rights movement don't have articles, or their articles need expanded. A lot of these people have Nashville connections. Keep the spirit of the library's Our Story Matters Editathon going by:
