! style="background:#f2dfce;"| Articles tagged for
deletion and rescue

• Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification.

• Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our notability and sourcing policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as "bitey". Encourage civility and maybe even {{tl|welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages.

• The Articles for deletion (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. Introduction to deletion process gives a good overview and some good advice for newcomers to deletion.

• Our primary work is improving articles tagged for rescue. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{tl|ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on our current articles page. It is highly recommended you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Current articles|action=watch}} watchlist it].

• If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to the list of translators available. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves.

• Many important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron|action=watch}} watchlist it].
