Or you write well enough, include the substance, and let other editors take care of your style--it's a group effort, after all. I want to adopt all of the folks who stalk me to edit my contributions and take them to work and school with me for all my writing needs. Alas, they all seem to have lives outside of correcting my turgid prose on Wikipedia.
Yeah, this is what I do mostly (not stalk you, I mean copyediting). I don't refer to the MoS much (you get the hang of the "wikipedia style" pretty quickly), but when I do wonder about something it is a very handy reference. As I've said, I really like it and don't think there is an urgent need (or any need at all, really) to overhaul it.
