For new editors or editors who want to dive deeper[edit]
Don't sweat it if any of this seems daunting. There will be more experienced editors at the edit-a-thon who can introduce & explain things. However, if you are adventurous, perhaps you can pick something on which you want to concentrate & read further.
Suggested sources[edit]
I posted a ½ dozen or so pre-vetted Google searches for sources for biographical articles that do not yet exist, at least at the time of this edit.

Infoboxes[edit]
Most biographies benefit from the use of an Infobox. Here is a Help page & the three most pertinent Infoboxes for this edit-a-thon:
- Help:Infobox
- Template:Infobox artist
- Template:Infobox playwright
- Template:Infobox musical artist (for Hallie Parrish Hinges, use
