Counter systemic bias by creating new articles on missing important female scientists.
Improve popular low quality articles (top 5,000 articles by pageviews with low ORES article class predictions.)
Other helpful tasks include, fixing vandalism, welcoming newcomers, link recovery, categorization, and numerous behind the scenes tasks like moving free images to Wikimedia Commons. See Wikipedia:Maintenance for more maintenance tasks.
New page patrolling |
The primary purposes of new page patrolling are to identify articles which do not meet the criteria for inclusion and/or to tag them for any glaring issues that need attention. Most critical are copyright violations and defamatory material about living persons.

How to search Wikipedia with Google
To limit Google searches to Wikipedia, include this in your search string: site:en.wikipedia.org.
You can even do a google search of Wikipedia from Wikipedia's own search box! For example, to use google to search for pages with "geology" in the title, type this into WP's search box: google:geology+site:en.wikipedia.org
This link does the same thing: google:geology+site:en.wikipedia.org.
Another way is to use Google's advanced settings. (To get there from Google's search page, click on the gear icon).
To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}
