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.....

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

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).

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.
