==Articles that need to be created==
 
I have listed some pages with five or more red links.  The [[Special:Wantedpages|full list]] is also available (ranked by number of redlinks to each article, so start at the top and you're guaranteed to do something helpful).  If you know anything about these topics, please create the page.
 
 
 
*[[How Collegiate Quizbowl Works]]- we need a general introduction for less involved high school players, people from now-dissolved College Bowl teams, or completely new people who are coming in and want a 1 to 3 page summary of the stuff they may not know.
 
*[[How Quizbowl Works, For Journalists]]- my hope is that this 1 to 2 page overview can dispel some of the misconceptions that non-participants often have, and  help avoid the comical errors we've seen in past examples of [[:Category:Journalism_about_quizbowl|journalism about quizbowl]].
