Quick + easy! Infoboxes, stubs, obits with tons of biographical info, Wikidata, etc.
 
Add an infobox!

It's fun, not super hard, and improves Google search results! Plus you don't need citations for infoboxes!

Improve an existing stub article!

Clean up existing citations, add a new citation, add a selected works and publications section for published authors

Add citations to articles that have none!
Other easy ideas

Obituaries are a great starting point, have tons of biographical info!

Are you into more tech-based data? Are you a librarian? Add Authority Control info to Wikidata!

Wikidata + AuthorityControl
Update Wikidata using Virtual International Authority File (VIAF.org)
  1. Go to VIAF.org
  2. Search for person (last name, first name)
  3. At bottom of page, where it says History of VIAF, expand section. See Werner Herzog example
  4. Add each listed Authority to Wikidata if its info is not already populated in Wikidata
  5. Add {{Authority control}} after External links section above Categories
  6. Refresh Wikipedia page
