List of articles to edit
Below is a list of articles that would benefit from edits and expansion during the edit-a-thon. However, feel free to come up with your own ideas! In addition to the suggestions below, editors may consider cleaning up articles on more well-known women of South Bend. Helpful updates could be as simple as: Making sure reference links are still appropriate and functional; Adding new inline citations/references; Adding a photo; Adding an infobox; Adding data to more fields in an existing infobox; Creating headings; Adding categories; etc.

We have also included suggestions (below) for South Bend women who currently lack articles or whose articles need expansion or editing. Please utilize the resources of the History Museum and the University of Notre Dame and don't hesitate to ask for help!
