I mooted this on [[Help talk:Contents]] yesterday morning, Quiddity made some suggestions (and we both tweaked the page text somewhat) and I've just put a banner on the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents I've tightened up the article problem page, per Strunk & White ("Omit needless words."): http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Contact_us/Article_problem&diff=275017366&oldid=266548901 The final page for people who have a crappy article about themselves still needs severe tightening and organisation, though with a mind to not causing trouble for OTRS volunteers, who after all are the ones getting the crapflood. Could an OTRS BLP queue handler please have a go at giving that page a severe Strunk & Whitening? - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
