Sorry for the mess; I'm going to clean up later. :D -Z

I am a girl, yes. A female Wikipedian. And damn proud of it too. I tend to hang out at AfD, the Humanities ref board, and anywhere with a good discussion.

Zidel's List of Wikipedian Topics

Current Events

• Due to a 100,000+ petition to remove the controversial images of the Prophet Muhammad from his article, a separate Discussion page regarding the images alone. Definitely worth a read, and the heated comments may lead to some change to the article's format. Outright removal of the images, which are considered blasphemous under Islamic law, is not likely to happen as Wikipedia's NPOV standards.

Areas of Interest

• Administrators' noticeboard is always intriguing. Related is the Fringe theories/Noticeboard.

• Jimbo Wale's Talk Page is a thought provoking, and fast paced page on current events on Wikipedia. Also, less than widely known information has been known to be spilled on Jimbo's page, if you're patient enough....

Areas That Need Help

• Wikipedia:Vital articles These are the bedrock articles for Wikipedia, and eventually they will all be FA status.

• The Featured Articles Candidates project page is desperate for additional volunteers to help review articles for FA status. There have been some grumblings that recent FAs are not up to the high standard, so any and all help is appreciated. Related, User:Deckiller has made Feature Article Candidates in need of urgent help page.

• Featured sound candidates has fallen into disuse, please go and debate on current sounds under review, or find sounds that may be worthy of consideration.

• Wikipedia:Notability (schools) has been under contention for over a year in, please help.

• Certain Wikipedia policies are under discussion. Join in.

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles is a great place to go if you have no idea what you want to work on. The Project's goal is have an English article equivalent to every other article in every other language Wikipedia.

• The following boards and pages always could use another hand:
  • WP:Articles for Deletion
  • Good article nominations
  • Deletion review
  • Wikipedia:Articles for creation
  • Manning any of the Reference desks
  • Translation always could use another bi/tri/multi linguist
  • WikiProject Council/Proposals
  • Philip Greenspun illustration project
  • Wikipedia mirror legal project etc. etc.

• Here are some tasks you can do from the Community Portal.
