Revision as of 06:29, 7 May 2009 by A Man In Black (talk | contribs) (The XFD thing is already covered, and "I object to what this project is doing" isn't a question and it isn't specific.)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)- Why is this project canvassing a bunch of editors to come keep articles?
- Ideally, it isn't. The goal of the Article Rescue Squadron is to clean up articles that would otherwise be deleted. By necessity, this involves examining the deletion discussion to see what's wrong with the article, and if done correctly, this article cleanup improves the encyclopedia. If an article you put up for deletion is improved through this process by addressing your concerns and thus kept, you haven't lost. Rather, the encyclopedia has won.
- Why are non-articles tagged with {{rescue}}? I thought this was the article rescue squadron.
- While articles are the main focus, useful but badly-formed encyclopedia content can be found in other namespaces. If article content up for deletion, such as a template or image, is badly-formed and you feel it can be fixed, go ahead and tag it with {{rescue}}, to see if it can be fixed.
