What can I work on?

The theme for this Edit-a-Thon is Indigenous Film and Media. The focus is on the Canadian context. There are a number of ways you can contribute to Wikipedia . You can create or enhance Wikipedia articles, add external links, verify and update citations, provide resources to help those writing articles, and assist with research.

Articles in draft

Articles needing expansion, updating and/or cleanup, adding categories

Articles needing creation

If you don't have time to create a full article make sure you mark it as a stub. You can also help out by categorizing existing stub articles.

Articles created/improved

Here is where we keep track of the edits we've made throughout our edit-a-thon. List the Wikipedia page name, and briefly describe your actions. Ex: Never Alone (video game) - added information about recent awards; corrected typos.
