Suggested articles

[edit]

The following list is inspired by Daniel Heath Justice's "A Year of #HonouringIndigenousWriters."[1]

Below is a list of articles that would benefit from edits and expansion during the edit-a-thon. We have organized them according to the type of work needed.

Please sign your name in the "Volunteer" column next to a writer you are interested in or will be working on by writing your name in the empty "|        " space underneath the author you have chosen. For Example:

Creating

[edit]

Articles that involve creating require more "original thought" and effort. These articles may need to be created from scratch, or have already been created but are only a WP:Stub with no actual content. Other possible work might include re-writing content so that the article presents a WP:Neutral point of view. If you choose an author with a * next to their name, please talk with one of the volunteers.
