Yeah. But it's gotta be more of a checklist and a general Request For Shrubbery Demands.
David, what exactly are you referring to here? Most of the minor detail type things that come up in FACs are pretty easy to fix (such as formatting and consistency issues). Other potentially bigger problems that are still somewhat debatable are things like prose quality and reference quality, and these can take more time. But in the end, the resulting work is usually significantly superior to the old version (at least as far as I can tell, being someone who thinks WP:RS and WP:CITE are indispensable). Which of these do you see as shrubberies, or am I missing another option?
