Random Article Patrol

See Wikipedia as it really is, and learn a lot of random information.

Random article patrol is a chance to appreciate how good (and how lacking) Wikipedia is. It can be a soothing experience, especially after tedious maintenance tasks. As a bonus, it can be a great training tool to sharpen your knowledge if you're a trivia buff or are scheduled to appear on Jeopardy! Just go to random pages and fix what you can.

Anti-Vandalism

Suitable for intermediate editors

Stop vandals from damaging Wikipedia.

Wikipedia gets thousands of edits per day—unfortunately, many of these are vandalism. As a Recent Changes Patroller, you are the first line of defense against such abuse, ensuring that readers of Wikipedia are not faced with vandalized content where they expected to find a useful article.

New Images Patrol

Suitable for intermediate editors

Prevent the illegal release of images.

Search the new images feed to find pictures that violate rules and copyright laws and get them deleted.

New Pages Patrol

Suitable for advanced editors

Help delete spam articles before the public sees them.

Some people, either acting in good faith or maliciously, create new articles which aren't suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia. By participating in new article patrol you can ensure that these articles are deleted as soon as possible.

Create an Article

Suitable for advanced editors

Help expand the reach of the encyclopedia.

Create an article on a subject previously unknown to Wikipedia.

Good Articles

Suitable for advanced editors

Help edit and nominate articles or review nominations of articles for good article status.

Find potentially good articles and work on them for a while to bring them up to a high standard. Then nominate them for Good Article status. You can also review good article nominations and critique them.

Featured Articles

Suitable for ambitious and advanced editors

Help nominate or review nominations of articles for featured article status.

Upgrade articles and work on them for a long time to bring them up to a very high standard, until they deserve to be featured on the main page. Then, get peer review and nominate them for Featured Article status. You can also critique feature article nominations. Obtaining featured article status is considered to be one of the most prized achievements in Wikipedia.

Contribute to Noticeboards

Suitable for intermediate editors

Help contribute to discussions on noticeboards.

Contribute your opinions to noticeboards in order to have a say in important decisions and help come to consensus on certain issues.

The Rewards Board

Suitable for intermediate or advanced editors

Come to receive or post reward listings for editing tasks.

The Rewards Board is a place where anyone can come to either post a task that they want done in exchange for a reward or to fulfill a task in exchange for a reward. The rewards offered are mostly barnstars but some people offer items or money for their tasks.
