Possible First Articles
These articles are not necessarily requested, but they're short, interesting, and fairly well-written not frightfully bad, with little to confuse a new Spoken Wikipedian. If you want to give recording articles a try but just haven't found the right place to start, try one of these.
- Jaffa Cake
- Mister Rogers' Neighborhood ( medium length, not too complicated)
- Jelly baby
- Jared Fogle
- Java_Desktop_System (you just need to know how to pronounce "GNOME," (Guh-nome),
"Linux", "SuSE" (Sue-See) and "Solaris". You should also probably pronounce out "graphical User Interface", instead of using "GUI"
- Onigiri very easy if you can pronounce romanized Japanese. Good for a student of Japanese
- Seattle Public Library
- Flexitarianism looks like a breeze..but may want to read through the talk page first. This article may need some time to develop before recording.
Intermediate Articles
These articles are slightly more in depth. Perhaps they require a tricky pronunciation or two. Overall, though, they're still not terribly difficult. These are a good choice for a 3rd or 4th recording, perhaps.
- Freeganism--slightly long, but shouldn't be to hard
- Rice congee (a couple of Chinese words in it. Knowing the IPA would be useful)
- WASP (Also a bit long, but pretty simple)
Of course, you are free to add (if you find promising ones) or subtract (if you are doing them or decide they're not recording material) articles from this list. This is just a tool to help get new contributors started.
