I’m sick of seeing dumb articles on RC that look like they are text messages. This is a made up article by me, but it’s a “text message” article. How to go 2 the stor!!!
hi u go 2 the stor 4 food 1 u wil haf 2 get drssed 2 u wil haf 2 driv zear 3 u git a shop cart 4 putin stuf n 4 hav funn!!! 5 lol u go 2 wal mart nd git gateraid so u bee aktev
Know what I mean? Also I’m tired of articles where the WHOLE article is in the introduction. I also hate that people put numbers next to the #. That just gives RC patrollers and NABs a hard time.

It’s all the happiness and joy about editing.
@JKL1234
, what’s the point? Just edit it and refer them to wikiTutor by adding {{Tutor Referer}} to their talk page. If it’s that they know how to write but they are just too lazy, then there’s nothing you can do. And please don’t create a team that edits articles writen in poor grammar.

(sarcasm begins here) This, my fellow editor, is why many wikiHowians are drawn to the path of the NAB. It is a difficult emotional journey, but some wiki-addicts hope to satisfy their thirst for making terrible articles new once more. (sarcasm ends here)

All I can say JKL, is come to my world and get the REAL fun of those articles!!!
I wish I had an insightful, philosophical comment to share, but all I can say is join the club.
I’m also tired of titles like: How to Survive the 5Th Grade How to Be a Vampire In The 3Rd Grade How to Celebrate The 4Th of July Why are titles like that?

@JKL1234
When you enter a title, just like “wikiHow” goes to “Wikihow”, the first letter is automatically capitalized. In that case, an admin would have to change the title. It’s not the author’s fault; it’s automatic. (See: “iPod to Ipod”)

Isn’t that why there’s a {{copyedit}} template for you to use? Or you could try to copyedit it yourself.

Same thing with the iPod categories. XD
Sometimes a {{cleanup}} is in order instead of {{copyedit}}.

Um… actually? That’s more true than you may know. Some of us actually ENJOY cleaning up articles and seeing what sort of gem we can rescue from the dross of writers whose writing ambitions outweigh their writing abilities by a wide margin.
I wonder if anybody wonders why I have a
in the title.

That’s true. I much prefer (over writing, patrolling, or anything) making a good, bold edit or completely giving an article a, shall I say, makeover. Turning a great idea into a great article just does it for me. *coming from a non-NABber, but the feelings remain*
“Improper English and Grammar Articles”. You used improper English grammar in the title unless you are talking about articles regarding the subjects of the English language and grammar.
