Thanks for the explanation. Long-time users sometimes forget us newbies.
Good Idea about adding images. Although I am no big fan of the Visual Editor, you can get it to do a very effective image search if you just go to an article and click the "add media" option. I have noticed a number of articles in this list are lacking images..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women_of_Courage_Award

Mainspace is where we keep the articles as opposed to policies, drafts, user space files and an amazing amount of other stuff.
Another easy and uncontentious way to make a few edits is a little image adding exercise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:WereSpielChequers/image_adding I wrote. Or just look at the articles in this deletion queue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:BLP_articles_proposed_for_deletion you can remove the deletion tag of anything in that queue if you add a reliable source that references something about the subject of the article. There are usually a few articles on women in that queue.

Just noticed this voting requirement: "... An editor is *eligible* to vote who:...(i) has registered an account before 28 October 2015"
Reading between the lines, I would guess that means before October 27, 23:59 PM UTC (just type "time UTC" into Google). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_Dece...
You have until Saturday (Halloween) night to complete the second requirement: "...at least 150 mainspace edits before 1 November 2015". What is a "mainspace edit"? I never did understand the "space" thing, but if it helps any, WP:MAINSPACE redirects to "WP:What is an article?" If anyone is looking for a quick way to get in 150 edits, you might try a little gnoming with the Visual Editor--it has some new functionality with repairing and wikifying links.
