Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub
A stub on Wikipedia is a very short article. Most people hate stubs, even though they are a probably a necessary evil. Here are tips on how to write a good stub.
If you can't think of anything better to do, you can search for stub articles and then list them here. Or better yet - fix one by adding more detail. Feel free to add any you find or create, or delete the ones that you've fixed.
