Sometimes articles need to be started from scratched, chunks rewritten or added, or just small tweaks. Here are some tips to get you started.

• look for alerts such as "needs citation"
• misspelled, dated, or imprecise language
• adding links to other articles, or websites
• translating articles from other languages
• adding images and descriptions
• writing new content from background research
• edit out subjective or biased language
• add missing people to existing lists (e.g. Notable Berklee Alum)
• add "education" or other missing sections
• create an article if none exists -- e.g. for notable albums/works
• add performance/album/etc credits
• search popular publications for people (e.g. NYTimes, Globe)
