Begin to critique

NOTE: You'll need to be logged in on Wikipedia for this step. Before you continue, go to English Wikipedia and make sure you're logged in, then return here to continue.

On your Article Selection page, begin to list potential topics that you'd like to work on. Refer back to the Evaluate an Article exercise, and begin to write brief critiques of the articles you're considering.

  • Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
  • Is it written neutrally?
  • Does each claim have a citation?
  • Are the citations reliable?
  • Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)?
  • Check out the article's Talk page to see what other Wikipedians are already contributing. Consider posting some of your ideas to the article's Talk page, too.

Use the Publish page button to save your work.

You should begin finding potential sources that you can use to improve these articles. Make sure there is enough verifiable literature to support your proposed improvements.
