The Article Rescue Squadron Newsletter covers news and information regarding the Article Rescue Squadron WikiProject. It summarizes work on the project, identifies areas where project members can contribute, and provides advice and guidance for improving Wikipedia articles. The ARS is always in need of additional help; all are welcome to help improve Wikipedia articles and content!

ARS Summary

The main focus of ARS is on Wikipedia articles that are perceived as actually being notable that are going through Articles for deletion (AfD), that may:

• Need references
• Are written poorly

• Lack information readily available
• Need cleaning up.

ARS also helps to rescue content in Wikipedia's main namespace (refer to Wikipedia: Namespace for more information) and other Daily deletion debates (XfD) processes, such as Miscellany for deletion (MfD) and Templates for discussion (TfD). ARS members may also be interested in rescuing articles listed at Wikipedia: Listing of possible copyright problems. These articles often cover notable topics. Evaluating the extent of such problems can be difficult, but thoroughly rewriting articles with problems identified as foundational has the additional benefit of helping WikiProject Copyright Cleanup.
