Forum:Tightening Up

We've noticed a good share of rather shoddily written articles this week, minor articles that have flown under the wire for years because no one pays attention to it; or, worse still, fairly major articles, or articles that should be fairly major. The first couple of paragraphs of RB, which are now up as our Featured Article, are serviceable, but the article as a whole is so subpar that I'm a bit embarrassed to have it up.

My proposal is that we start a special category for them. Find an article that needs to be tightened up, put it in Articles in Need of Improvement or whatever we want to call it. And, since it's the easiest thing in the world to ignore those categories we set up with the idea of something getting done later (Stub, Candidates for Deletion), we should enforce among ourselves a rule that, if outstanding articles are contained in the category, all moderators must rewrite, say, one a week to maintain our rank. Yay or nay? Turtle Fan 19:11, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
