If you're feeling particularly strong and have a fresh pack of
[[Kretek|Gudangs]] and a bottle of whisky to hand, there's a Metric
Shitload of stuff in that category that can only be fixed by hard
editorial slog. Call them the "unfeatured articles" ... the polar
opposite of [[WP:FA]].

(Worst is when it's an article about something clearly article-worthy,
but just thinking about how to fix the crappy prose makes your brain
seize up ...)

[Note that I'm not saying "OMGWTFBBQ WESUCKANDWE'RED0000MED" ... I'm
pointing out a practical thing that people can do if they're feeling
inspired to hard unglamorous slog. I'm not sure I am right now; I'll
let you know when I'm back on Sunday.]
