Stuff I work on:

• WP:AFC: mostly Literature, History, and Books.
• WP:AFD, especially Authors, Academics, and Literature.
• Maintenance tags for WP:@, WP:BOOKS, and WP:ELIT.
• Articles on Russian revolutionaries, Communards, and Geoffrey Chaucer.

Are you new to Wikipedia...

• and looking for a satisfying task? Check out Category:Wikipedia introduction cleanup. You don't (or shouldn't) need to do any research to fix these articles - most of them are here because they are tagged with "lead too short". Find one of those, read the article, then rewrite the lead so it summarizes it accurately. Now you can remove the "lead too short" tag. Done! Since the "lead" is what is shown in Google Search results and so on, this is an immediately helpful and visible change. You've made the internet better already!
• and interested in translating articles to English? Make sure you read WP:HOWTRANS. Attribution is really important!
• and interested in writing biographies of women? Join WP:WIRED! It's a very active wikiproject, and very welcoming to newcomers.
• and looking for help? Feel free to ask any questions on my Talk page. You can also ask at WP:TEA.

Being a new editor can be really hard. If I can make it easier for you, let me know.
