Mentioned by today's panelists:
✓ Please check with a WikiCoach before starting new pages – recommend beginners start editing existing pages vs. starting new pages
Quick + easy! Infoboxes, stubs, obits with tons of biographical info, Wikidata, etc. |
|---|
|
It's fun, not super hard, and improves Google search results! Plus you don't need citations for infoboxes!
Clean up existing citations, add a new citation, add a selected works and publications section for published authors
Obituaries are a useful starting point, have tons of biographical info!
Are you into more tech-based data? Are you a librarian? Add Authority Control info to Wikidata!
