Helpful updates could be as simple as: Making sure reference links are still appropriate and functional; Adding new inline citations/references; Adding a photo; Adding an infobox; Adding data to more fields in an existing infobox; Creating headings; Adding categories; etc.

All are welcome to add names to the list which is intended to serve as a basis for creating new articles in this important but somewhat neglected sector on the English Wikipedia.

The following is a small sample of topics to work on. Feel free to come up with your own ideas!

There is a list of women working in the field of climate change - any name with a little external link square beside it probably indicates a person who doesn't have a Wikipedia page yet!

Surprisingly, the pages for a number of the women in Rachel Ignotofsky's excellent book Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers who Changed the World are quite sparse. It would be great if some of these could be improved to help those looking for more information after reading:

Once you've learned the basics of editing using Wikipedia’s Visual Editor, I hope that you'll stay logged in and edit or create more articles. I've added some booklets and some links below that you may find useful. As a first step you may like to check out what What Wikipedia is not along with its 5 guiding principles: The 5 pillars.

{{Div col}}

• The Wikipedia Adventure Start Page - a fun tutorial introducing new editors to Wikipedia
• [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide Visual Editor user guide]
• Questions – a guide on where to ask questions
• The Teahouse new editor help space
• Wikipedia Help pages
• Article wizard – a Wizard to help you create articles
• The simplified ruleset – a summary of Wikipedia's most important rules
• Guide to Wikipedia – a thorough step-by-step guide to Wikipedia
• Is your topic notable enough for an article?
• Be Bold!
• Don't let grumpy users scare you off.
• Learn from others
• How to write a great article
• A simplified manual of style

{{Div col end}}

• Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The File:Button sig.png or File:Insert-signature.png button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
• If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

You may find these useful if you want to learn further about editing:

• Video tutorials
• Instructional videos on using Wikipedia
