Just a quick note about a new effort going on. Yesterday, Eagle_101 and I
began to reinvigorate [[Wikipedia:Spotlight]], a project devoted to fixing up
basic articles collaboratively. About 10-15 people lent a hand to improve
[[Coloring book]] and [[John Gow]], and the results are pretty good. No, they are
not featured articles, but the are much improved from what was there before,
as these diffs show:
1. Coloring book:

Yes, it's a far cry from vandal fighting or debating the intricacies of
RfA's, but it does get back to the root of what Wikipedia is all about—building a
decent reference work. So, I invite everyone to try it out. We can promise
you random new articles that need your help once or twice a day. You can see
what's coming up or even add suggestions at [[Wikipedia:Spotlight]] or on IRC
at #wikipedia-spotlight.
Oh, and there are two simple rules: 1. No BLPs, 2. No articles requiring
Fair Use. Let's keep this as uncontentious as possible.
Hope to see you there.
