User:Femke/Challenges

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Femke's Challenges are a set of editing tasks, inspired by Wikipedia:Bilorv's Challenges, with the goal of making knowledge available to all, irrespective of age, education and disability. Most challenges target issues around Wikipedia being too difficult to understand, too verbose to use and too inaccessible. There are a few team challenges, because it's fun to work together.

Please do suggest more challenges at the talk page and feel free to improve wording of challenges boldly and add yourself to the list once you've completed an article.
