A better drive would be to crib Wikipedia articles, improve them (outside the bounds of Wikipedia's processes, which means the replacement process can do whatever it likes) to FA status, and then replace them.>>
--------------------
If you mean replace them *outside* the project isn't that something that Veropedia is supposed to be doing?
If you mean replace them back *in* the project, I seem to recall quite vividly a multi-year battle was started over a certain editor (you know who you are) doing exactly that. Taking a very large article, working it over in her own user-space, and then slapping it back in place. *Some* of the other editors working that article didn't take too kindly to that approach.
The fiasco that came out of that, is one of the reasons I don't edit in project as much as I once did. It's also *the* reason I no longer watch my watchlist. I just edit and move on, without looking back.
