User:Paul2520/tasks

This page will track tasks that I want to accomplish on Wikipedia. Others are welcome to help tackle them; please let me know what you do. If you are new to Wikipedia and/or simply interested to help remove red links and aren't sure where to begin, let me know and I'd be happy to make suggestions of topics to work on!

Top priority[edit]

add examples to pandas (software), like on NumPy
plot summary to The African Child & add sources; perhaps [1]
watch Munger Road (film) for plot summary? also see [2]
Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Minneapolis–Saint Paul
cite Mapping Prejudice (TPT) documentary on List of Jim Crow law examples by state and/or Housing discrimination (and elsewhere, if applicable)
see WikiProject Women; I'm a member! Create some articles (they have red list(s)).
add some refs to Autoreduction; see [3], e.g.
Emily Parker Groom: add photo of house? + cite [4] directly
Dan Navarro to GA/FA?

add refs: is this good? [5]

add research references to Ifakara Health Institute
Alex Désert filmography: should be easy to populate

at least explore Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user
refs to Pumpernickel
notably refs @ Kora (instrument)
new articles & articles to expand (see below)

+ refs to Primary key ([8]?)

maybe not "quick", but ref work @ Edward Steichen
Commonly misspelled English words: can just search a few of them
New Trier High School needs some reference work
+ ref(s) to Aryness Joy Wickens? ([10]) (I first saw [11])
something like User:Paine Ellsworth/Geeeraffe (found via User:Gobonobo/Flower - which is also pretty)

created at User:Paul2520/elephants; needs documentation

try User:Kephir/gadgets/rater
depending on how much time I want to spend: explore User:Wasted Time R's userpage in more depth! I like the advice!
