[edit] Goals

1. To clarify sentences that are unclear
2. To correct grammar so that articles are more readable
3. To be the grammar police
4. To be a place to ask for help with grammar
5. To clean up articles by non-native English speakers
6. To not argue about styles of grammar or correct spelling

[edit] General discussion forums

• Discuss this project or ask a grammar question here

• A new Language desk has been opened for questions and answers about English grammar and usage. It is a subpage of the Wikipedia:Reference desk and supplements the Wikipedia:Help desk, that already exist.
