Content worked on
You Can Work on Whatever You Want BUT
There are a ton articles about comics on Misplaced Pages. 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.
- These comics articles need cleaned up.
- Some other comics related tasks that need done - some of these are better left to more experienced editors. If that is you - go for it.
There is a shortage of articles about women on Misplaced Pages. Be a hero, or at least a good citizen, and help change that.
- These awesome female artists need their pages created or expanded.
- These accomplished woman scientists need articles too.
- All of these women from around the world need articles too.
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:
- creating these articles about Civil Rights activists
- improving these articles about Civil Rights activisits
You're an awesome person and your pet/parent/high school physics teacher is your hero. And that is awesome but there is a high probably they not notable enough to be included in Misplaced Pages. For more pointers see the tools and templates below.
