http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_that_need_to_be_wikified
If you're feeling particularly strong and have a fresh pack of [[Kretek|Gudangs]] and a bottle of whisky to hand, there's a Metric Shitload of stuff in that category that can only be fixed by hard editorial slog. Call them the "unfeatured articles" ... the polar opposite of [[WP:FA]].
(Worst is when it's an article about something clearly article-worthy, but just thinking about how to fix the crappy prose makes your brain seize up ...)
[Note that I'm not saying "OMGWTFBBQ WESUCKANDWE'RED0000MED" ... I'm pointing out a practical thing that people can do if they're feeling inspired to hard unglamorous slog. I'm not sure I am right now; I'll let you know when I'm back on Sunday.]

I like those articles so much I have a link to them on my user page. Thats the kind of stuff I like best about the wiki, the opportunity to make a mountain out of a molehill ;)
