I'm a new editor and also want to contribute a new article as soon as my account is confirmed. My problem is that I don't think I'll be able to make at least ten edits to qualify my account for confirmation. I did two edits yesterday, both of them substantive, but I can't think of any other Wikipedia articles that I know enough about to edit. I'd be more than willing to do copy editing/proofing on existing articles, but none of the articles I've read on Wikipedia seem to need corrections in spelling or grammar. If you know of any that need attention, please direct me to them so that I can make my ten edit quota!
Alternatively, I gather that there may be a way to ask for confirmation even without having done all ten edits. Is this true, and how would I make that request?
Many thanks!

- Well I would love to help you! I am a relatively new user to Wikipedia myself but I have been on Wikia for about 2 years. What I suggest you do is looking at the Recent Changes and checking edits made by users which are not logged in. Or what you could do is search for an article all about a topic that you have a passion in (so for me that would be the Manga page), then grab some coco, find a comfy chair and read the whole article you will most likely find a mistake somewhere on there!

- You could also check out the "Help Out" section of the Community portal. That will give you quite a few articles to work on :) TheOriginalSoni (talk) 17:15, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hi! I'm not sure if you're still looking for pages to edit, but I would love some help with the one written for the director of the nonprofit I work for. I'm not ethically authorized to work on it, but can see it needs some cleaning up. I see you're a part of the Filmmaker forum so I thought you might be interested in helping out. Let me know! The page is: Catherine Gund. Thanks! Aubinpics (talk) 21:26, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
