Wikipedia articles to edit & create:
[edit]Note: We have compiled a list of articles that need attention. For the beginners: Don't be intimidated! A great place to start is to search through an article that interests you and look for spelling or grammar errors. Find one word out of place. Editing one sentence to make it flow better. Those are all great contributions. It is ok to start small.
