It's fun, not super hard, and improves Google search results! Plus you don't need citations for infoboxes!
Clean up existing citations, add a new citation, add a selected works and publications section for published authors
Obituaries are a great starting point, have tons of biographical info!
Are you into more tech-based data? Are you a librarian? Add Authority Control info to Wikidata! ![]()
