Article management

=General advice=

;What you can do:

  • Add relevant and necessary facts.
  • Add relevant and necessary references.
  • Balance NPOV by removing spectacular but on the whole irrelevant material.
  • Images. All articles should have relevant illustrations if possible. Look through the interwikis, or browse through Commons.
  • Copyedit. Many articles need a fair deal of copyediting:
  • Make sure the Lead section is up to standards.
  • Integrate "trivia"-sections into the text
  • Clean up Swenglish
