[WikiEN-l] So, you think you're a good writer? The "Fix Crappy Prose" Challenge

[David Gerard]

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.
