This is the user page for Lyrelyrebird. I like to help Women (and nonbinary people) in Audio, if you are here to add more women (and nonbinary people) in sound to Wikipedia here are helpful tips and links to get you started. Use the Talk page if you think I forgot about a helpful link or article, also use the talk page if you have questions for me, or if you want to show off your shiny edits in the spirit of awesome people in audio.

Resources for starting your first article
After your first article
Check in on your article after a week, you might have some helpful messages. If you know how to fix these, then do so when you can, adding comments in the talk pages to update future editors. If you are lost, then you can either wait for someone to edit the page later, search on the above links or via the WikiProjects for tutorials/templates, or you can use my talk page (or other similarly helpful people's talk pages) to ask for help.

Lists
Lists are often populated by notable articles rather than all articles that fit the list's criteria. If a list has too many articles under it, it might be time to add a sub-list (and move the respective articles to that list). Prioritize Lists that exist over those that do not.
Lists of Award Winners and Nominees
These are useful resources to look for more biographical articles to add or edit
