Things to do

 * General tasks
 * Patrol new pages and help improve new articles.
 * Assess articles by quality or by importance—pick a topic of interest and grade according to that WikiProject's scale. (See links from article talk pages.)
 * Do you have a historical perspective? Articles slanted towards recent events might need to be looked at with a new eye.


 * Commenting
 * Respond to the Reward board or Bounty board.
 * Respond to a request for comment or Wikiquette alert, or provide a third opinion.
 * Give a requested editor review.
 * Peer review high quality articles and grade good article nominations.
 * Make recommendations on articles listed at Good article reassessment.
 * Discuss which articles should be deleted and review proposed deletions.


 * Special skills
 * Can you draw or take pictures? Make a requested image.
 * Are you good at photo editing? Then try cleaning up some of these images, or helping out at the Graphics Lab.
 * Can you use GIS tools? Help make requested maps.
 * Can you communicate in another language? There are articles that need translation into English. You can also proofread a translation.
