Welcome to The American Women Destubathon! It is a general stub elimination contest, with the intent to cover American women from all walks of life. The idea is improve as many of the thousands of stub articles as possible! There is US$1250 available in total for prizes to whoever fleshes out the most stubs from every state and territory in the U.S., plus an overall winner. All that is required for this is basic article expansions and improvements. To "destub" an article all you have to do is ensure it's a minimum of 1.5 kB (1500 characters) readable prose in total, which you can measure using this tool. The existing text and text you add is expected to all be verifiable and adequately sourced to reliable sources, with the expected Wikipedia:Citations included. Whoever "destubs" the most articles for a given state or territory wins a prize, and whoever wins the most "destubs" for the most states and territories will be crowned the overall winner. Even if you don't want prizes, you're welcome to participate in this as an editathon and find something to enjoy this spring!
