[edit] Things to do

Please see the To do list and the Geography Section for our current activities and wanted articles. Remember to be bold! How can you help us:

• Create new articles. Possible approaches include:
  1. Start with a list of mostly red links, and write at least short stubs for each item.
  2. Fill in some important field, i.e: actors, historical buildings, national parks, animals.
  3. Grab material from other Wikipedias. The Portuguese WP is an obvious choice, but also try the very large German WP if you understand German.
• Edit other articles. Possible approaches include:
  1. Expand stubs.
  2. Fill in and check sources, references and external links.
  3. Fill in categories.
  4. Copy edit: check spelling and punctuation, standardize dates, mark stubs.
• Advertise the project. Use {{WPBrazil}} on talk pages to show that you're working specifically for this project.

• Maintain our WikiPortal.
