A quick tool that I will demonstrate. It's very new. It's called the List Building Tool and it allows you to select a topic. Let's say, the lady we were demonstrating with last time, Tiwa Savage, remember her? I don't know anything about her. I just very randomly picked some popular singer.

So I clicked this name of the page and I click "submit" and it runs a little query. And then it gives me 20 related articles, related articles that are relatively popular, not just any related article, but related articles that have people reading them that are relatively well read. So if I'm just looking for things to work on that are related to Ms. Savage, I am shown all these other singers, some of which maybe could be improved. This is just a list, a list-building tool that allows you to find articles on a topic that you're interested in. They're not necessarily articles in bad shape that really need improvement. Maybe they are, maybe they're not. But this is a tool just to help you browse and find things that may be interesting to you, related to a particular topic.

You could likewise put the name of a town here. Like, this is a city in Ukraine. You could type that, and you would get things that are related to that city or area or region. And you could try this with your own favorite topics. So it's just a useful tool for surfacing articles that are related to something. And you can make sure that all the articles related to your subject are improved and well covered.
