Option 2 Category Search
You can go to Index of Categories, choose a category and start evaluating articles within that category. {{center|1=
Option 3 Articles waiting verification
You can go to Articles waiting for chronology/history evaluation, choose an article and start evaluating it. There is where articles waiting assignment of an editor familiar with TimeTrace Guidelines are.
Strategy 1 Join other editors in an article
If your strategy is to work in team, go to Articles lacking chronology/history sources, choose an article and join other Timeline Tracer editors evaluating it. There is where articles ongoing evaluation and help from Timeline Tracer editors are. Don't worry about not interfering with the work of other editor, you will most probably be a welcomed help for concluding an article's verification faster and better.
Strategy 2 Follow the priority list
If your strategy is to work in what should be most important to verify first, select below a category from the Priority Categories List (are all the priority categories, not in specific order) for choosing an article:

Strategy 3 Check what the Bot has found

You can also choose to just get an article assigned by randomness. Just click on Assign me an article!. If it comes up an incomplete article or stub, just come back and click again, after a few clicks you will get an article to get busy with.
Invitation banner
