A lot of files need an improvement in quality. There are numerous typing errors and grammatical error. I think we should put together a crack team of cleanup moderators. The Valeyard 12:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Generally, most people clean up articles when they edit them, and there are only a few people who usually edit - apparently me, Stardizzy, you, and occasionally some others such as Azes13 and Sichamousacoricothingmabob - so personally I don't believe we need any "crack [teams]" of anything, really. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 16:51, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. The Valeyard 20:07, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

you do have a good point, categories could use clean-up, too. the timeline section really needs work. in practice,though, we do have relatively new numbers of people who edit here. categories need clean-up, too. as for me, I will do a better job of proofreading myself and for that matter, other editors. --***Stardizzy*** 20:40, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I can proofread others, however, I am dreadful at proofreading myself! The Valeyard 20:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been tweaking stuff like typos and generally inelegant writing as and when I find it, as well as fixing stuff that seems screamingly dubious or factually incorrect... obviously there have been a few issues concerning style, but anyway... It seems bad manners not to fix stuff if you know it needs doing.
