Help with choosing articles
If you would like some guidance choosing a good topic to work on, here are some options:
- Ask your instructor, who may have compiled a list of potential topics and may know which topics have appropriate sources available.
- If your course has a Wikipedia Content Expert, you can contact him or her through the course page.
- Post a question at the Help Desk or the Teahouse. The more specific you can be about what you're interested in writing about and what potential topics you're looking at, the better. You'll have to check back later to the page where you post your question to see what suggestions people have for you.
Here are some ways to browse for articles to work on:
- Check Wikipedia:Requested articles to see if any of the requested articles are relevant.
- Check the Stub categories to look for underdeveloped articles in a particular topic area.
