David, what exactly are you referring to here? Most of the minor detail
type things that come up in FACs are pretty easy to fix (such as formatting
and consistency issues). Other potentially bigger problems that are still
somewhat debatable are things like prose quality and reference quality, and
these can take more time. But in the end, the resulting work is usually
significantly superior to the old version (at least as far as I can tell,
being someone who thinks WP:RS and WP:CITE are indispensable). Which of
these do you see as shrubberies, or am I missing another option?
