Finding things to edit
editHow are you even supposed to find things that need editing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calcoolidgefan (talk • contribs) August 21, 2012
- Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I left you a longer welcome message below, but in answer to your specific question, there are a few ways that come to mind to find something to edit.
- What got me started was reading an article on something I knew something about, and realizing it either had errors, unclear language, or was missing some important stuff. Then I edited it to correct that.
- I also occasionally look for some "favorite errors" to fix: like misspelling the school Juilliard as "Julliard"; or, another one of my favorites, the word "eighth" misspelled as 'eigth".
- You can also look into some of the clean-up categories, like Category:Wikipedia articles in need of updating or Category:Wikipedia cleanup. But that's kind of hit-or-miss: if you don't know anything about the subject in the article, most are hard to clean up.
Welcome
