I will copy what I wrote to David here... I want to ask for your opinion here. I was feeling brave this morning and decided to see if I could make a dent in Category:Wikipedia backloghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_backlog. After looking at about 25 articles with the wikification tag attached to them, and being so disgusted with the lot as to be unable to make a *single* change, something major hit me. We need to, as one might say, flush the crap down the toilet. Allow me to explain.
I replied on [[User talk:David Gerard]] as well. I suspect flooding AFD with this stuff will just piss people off. OTOH, it's probably not speedyable.
Most of these articles are on topics that *do clearly deserve an article* and would probably survive AFD because of that. The actual articles are horrible.
All the people on this list who have complained we need a higher drive for quality. Go to [[Category:Wikipedia backlog]] and fix a pile of articles. Get together a WikiProject to Fix Crappy Prose.
Any takers?
