To do lists

Harpo’s Juke Joint wants to be the go-to resournce for anyone looking for information about black actors, directors, films, and so on. We've started quite a few articles; however, many are stubs, or otherwise need attention. If you like, go ahead, be bold, and jump right in. If you aren't ready to fly solo, you can participate in a Collaboration.

Maintenance

Help clear up the backlog of articles to be wikified! Wikification is the process of making an article conform to the guide to layout and Manual of Style. This involves formatting, links, sections, and checking for other things such as copyright violations and references. If necessary, you may propose it for deletion. Wikification is an easy way to improve Harpo’s Juke Joint!

WikiProjects

WikiProjects are ongoing team efforts to improve articles having to do with a particular subject, and to manage the logistics of that topic. Hundreds exist — examine the master list to find one that interests you. They are separate from, though may work with, Collaborations.
