What should I work on? edit
There are many different ways for you to contribute today. Wikipedia is the product of millions of individual contributions and every change that is made, no matter how small, makes a difference!
We’ve prepared a list of suggested subjects and assembled some preliminary sources to get you started. These are grouped into categories depending on the type of contribution that is required. Keep in mind Wikipedia’s Conflict of Interest guidelines when selecting your subject to make sure it is appropriate for you to make the edits.
You may also find it useful to read Wikipedia's notability guidelines for academics: Wikipedia:Notability (academics)
