Things to do

 * Adopt a basic topic list, to help develop and maintain a table of contents to a major subject on Wikipedia.
 * Let SuggestBot suggest pages for you to improve.
 * Update pages with old (ref or note template) citations to the new references format.

WikiProjects
WikiProjects are ongoing team efforts to improve articles having to do with a particular subject, and to manage the logistics of that topic. Hundreds exist—examine the master list to find one that interests you.

Language translation
Wikipedia is not just in English. Versions exist in many different languages. To fill in some of the English Wikipedia's gaps, we translate articles from other languages into English. You can view a list of articles that need translation from any language, or, in a few cases, by only one language (this is only available for the more popular languages).
