Welcome to WikiProject Article Rescue Squadron. This WikiProject works toward improving Wikipedia as a whole by cooperating together to improve deficient articles through editing to provide necessary sources, correcting inappropriate style or tone, cleaning up grammatical and layout problems, et cetera, with the overall goal of improving the encyclopedia. This WikiProject is always in need of additional help, so feel free to join; all are welcome to help improve Wikipedia articles and content!
Sometimes Wikipedia articles about notable topics exist in poor form, badly written, unsourced – but that is not sufficient in itself to remove them from the encyclopedia at articles for deletion. If an article is about an encyclopedic topic that has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, the article may, per our Preserve policy, simply need improvement.
A significant aspect of this project's focus is on articles that may be written in poor form, lack references or need improvement, yet are backed by reliable sources and are therefore likely worthy of a Wikipedia stand-alone article per Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Some writer may have worked hard on that article. Some reader can use that article. In reaching out to work with such writers and readers, the project can help to preserve worthwhile content in the encyclopedia.
