I've just put the following text on my userpage. If you think you're hard enough, you take the challenge and then put this on your own userpage.
===The "Fix Crappy Prose" Challenge===
I'd like everyone reading this who thinks they're a pretty good writer to middle-click<sup>'''*'''</sup> "Random page" twenty times and rewrite any crappy prose you find without sacrificing any factual content. Do this at least once a week.
Detail and accuracy beat elegant prose, if you're forced to make the choice. But that doesn't make crappy prose a good idea.
