Click on your user name (upper right) and edit your user page. Introduce yourself to the Wikipedia community
Click on sandbox (upper right) and practice editing. You could copy and paste some text from an existing Wikipedia page, and practice making changes. Try adding a citation, adding an image from Wikimedia Commons.
If you have 1 hour or less, edit your user page, play in the sandbox, get familiar with Wikipedia.
If you have 90 minutes, add some citations to an article in an area of interest.
If you have 2 hours, add a well cited paragraph or some photographs to an article in an area of interest.
If you have 2-4 hours, consider starting to create a new article. Be sure to gather your reliable sources and check in with an experienced Wikipedian to ensure that your article meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines.

Visit the Citation Hunt tool
Search for a topic (ex: justice) - don’t hit enter
You’ll see a list of topics that include that keyword, along with the number of articles under that category that have at least one “citation needed.” (ex: environmental justice) - select a category
Click on the article title that appears and use <ctrl> F to find the “citation needed”.
Return to the search tool and click on NEXT to view the next article in this category.
