What can I do?
There are many different roles you can play on Wikipedia. Here are some of the roles and what they do:
- Copy-editor: Improves the language and grammar in an article.
- WikiGnome: Makes minor edits such as spelling corrections.
- Maintainer: Monitors articles for biased edits and corrects them. A maintainer watches out for changes made by contributors with a personal agenda or political/philosophical point of view and ensures that factual accuracy and neutrality is maintained in articles.
- Illustrator: Uploads images, maps, photographs and relevant visual aids to place in articles.
- Author: Creates new articles or adds information to articles based on books, websites, newspapers, and other credible sources.
- Formatter: Structures or "wikifies" articles, using wiki markup, so they are easier to read.
- Mediator: Moderates discussions on controversial topics, helps resolve disputes, and provides guidance on contributor behavior.
