Basic use guidelines

Please add entries to the top of the appropriate category.
Please date entries. This makes it easier to judge when pages no longer need attention. Undated entries may be arbitrarily removed. You can sign & date at the same time by inserting ~~~~ (four tildes) after a comment.
Please fix articles that have been listed for a while first. This helps reduce the lag time between the time an article is listed and the time it's fixed.
Please indicate the concise reason for listing a page. Pages listed with no reason given may be arbitrarily removed because another person might not understand your intent. However, detailed explanations and discussions belong on the Talk page to avoid discussion in two places.
Please add {{attention}} to the top of the page.
For each article you add to this list, please try to fix an article already on the list.
You may wish to ask specific questions on the Wikipedia:Reference desk which will bring the article to the attention of experts.

Removal procedure

If you check an article on this list and you are sure that edits have fixed the page to about Wikipedia average in regard to defects, then remove that article from this page. Be sure to note the removal in your edit summary.

If you think that an article has been fixed to be Wikipedia average but you are not sure, then make a comment underneath the article's listing on this page so that someone else can double check your perception that the article is Wikipedia average.
