Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: Adam (talk) 19:06, 13 January 2006 (UTC). This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

Verifiablity and citing sources
Every Wikipedia edit box says content must be verifiable. Clicking on it takes you to a description of the verifiability policy.

Whatever you say about Marek Bak must meet this policy. This means that if you say, for example, that George W. Bush was saved from choking on a pretzel by Marek Bak's intervention, you must cite a source that says so. It's not enough to cite a source that says George W. Bush choked on a pretzel, nor an article about Marek Bak. The source you cite must say specifically that Marek Bak intervened and saved George Bush.

Also, the citation must be accurate. Suppose you knew of an interview with Bak, published in a major magazine, and that in the interview Bak said "I saved George W. Bush from choking." Suppose you had the date and page number of the article. Then you could write:


 * In an interview with XYZ magazine, Marek Bak was reported as saying "I saved George W. Bush from choking."

You could not write:


 * Marek Bak saved George W. Bush from choking.

If this is not clear, please re-read the policies on verifiability and citing sources. Dpbsmith (talk) 15:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
