[WikiEN-l] Spotlight

[daniwo59 at aol.com]

Just a quick note about a new effort going on. Yesterday, Eagle_101 and I  
began to reinvigorate [[Wikipedia:Spotlight]], a project devoted to fixing up  
basic articles collaboratively. About 10-15 people lent a hand to improve  
[[Coloring book]] and [[John Gow]], and the results are pretty good. No, they  are 
not featured articles, but the are much improved from what was there before,  
as these diffs show: 
    1.  Coloring book: 
_http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coloring_book&diff=123077473&oldid=122888644_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coloring_book&diff=123077473&oldid=122888644) 
    1.  John Gow:

Yes, it's a far cry from vandal fighting or debating the intricacies of  
RfA's, but it does get back to the root of what Wikipedia is all about—building  a 
decent reference work. So, I invite everyone to try it out. We can promise 
you  random new articles that need your help once or twice a day. You can see 
what's  coming up or even add suggestions at [[Wikipedia:Spotlight]] or on IRC 
at  #wikipedia-spotlight.  
Oh, and there are two simple rules: 1. No BLPs, 2. No articles requiring  
Fair Use. Let's keep this as uncontentious as possible.  
Hope to see you there. 
Danny
