I'd like to help Wikipedia with solving issues on pages with problems listed on templates. I'd like to know the best ways to find such pages. The only ways I know are to visit WikiProject pages and hit the Random Article button until I find some. Are there better ways? Please let me know.

Thanks!

I am interested in making daily edits in order to eventually earn a Wikipedia Library Card. I was told in an email that it's important the edits be "high quality". Could you please tell me more about what "high quality" might mean? For example, is the relevance of the page important? Do they have to remain unrecorded? Are Citation Hunt edits high quality?

Thanks!

Hi TheGreatConsultingDetective. "High quality" is a bit of a subjective term, but one would assume, in this instance, that it refers to edits which significantly improve the encyclopedia. Stuff like em-dash fixes, minor layout changes, switching English spelling to American and so on, probably wouldn't count. Adding sourced statements, improving grammar, creating new articles on appropriate topics, fixing typos, adding freely-licenced image and so forth would probably be considered "high quality". However, any edit that makes the encyclopedia better, even if only by adding a comma in the correct place, is worth making! Yunshui ^雲 _水 10:41, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just took a look at some of your recent contributions - yeah, you're on the right track. Plenty of "high quality" edits there! Yunshui ^雲 _水 10:44, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
