Help out Wikipedia is, by number of articles, the largest encyclopedia ever to exist. However, many articles are stubs, or otherwise need attention. If you like, go ahead, be bold, and jump right in. If you are not ready to fly solo, you can participate in a Collaboration.

Things to do Respond to a request for comment, Wikiquette alert or provide a third opinion. Adopt a basic topic list, to help develop and maintain a table of contents to a major subject on Wikipedia. Give a requested editor review. Can you draw or take pictures? Make a requested image. Peer review or give feedback on some articles.

Collaborations To improve the quality of articles that are short or lacking in detail, Wikipedia's community organizes collaborations to expand articles.
Core topics collaboration The Amazon River flowing through the rainforest The Core Topics Collaboration works to improve essential Wikipedia topics. The current collaboration is Amazon rainforest. The Amazon Rainforest (Brazilian Portuguese: Floresta Amazônica or Amazônia; Spanish: Selva Amazónica or Amazonía) is a moist broadleaf forest in the Amazon Basin of South America. The area, also known as Amazonia, the Amazon jungle or the Amazon Basin, encompasses seven million square kilometers (1.7 billion acres), though the forest itself occupies some 5.5 million square kilometers (1.4 billion acres), located within nine nations: Brazil (with 60 percent of the rainforest), Peru (with 13 percent of the rainforest, second after Brazil), Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. States or departments in four nations bear the name Amazonas after it. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests and comprises the largest and most species-rich tract of tropical rainforest in the world. You can help pick the next Core Topic collaboration article.
Collaborations by topic See Template:COTWs for the most up-to-date listing.	Other collaborations Active improvement teams Countering systemic bias Version 1.0 Cleanup Taskforce Spam fighting team Categorization projects Maintenance WikiProjects WikiProjects are ongoing team efforts to improve articles having to do with a particular subject, and to manage the logistics of that topic. Hundreds exist—examine the master list to find one that interests you. They are separate from, though may work with, Collaborations. Language translation Wikipedia is not just in English. Versions exist in many different languages. To fill in some of the English Wikipedia's gaps, we translate articles from other languages into English. You can view a list of articles that need translation from any language, or, in a few cases, by only one language (this is only available for the more popular languages).
