== Contributing to Wikipedia ==

 * Short pages and Dead End pages:
   * Something simple is better than nothing
   * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ShortPages
    * Usually only a single word or line. Improvement is usually easy
   * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:DeadendPages
    * some dead ends just need good redirect pages

 * Longest Pages and Fewest revisions (Streamlining / Editing)
   * No original content required
   * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LongPages
    * Refinement and simplification improve the situation
   * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:FewestRevisions

 * Wanted Lists
   * Often further categorization or adding missing bits needed
   * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WantedCategories
    * Categories partially assembled
    * e.g. "Compact Digital Cameras" only contains Fuji. Just tag more cameras


 * Wikimedia is also an option for the graphically inclined
   * Photo challenge is a great inspiration
   * commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Photo_challenge

 * All the Wikipedia lists:
