Please see my push for disbandment here. Thank you to all who understood what I was trying to do here.

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to decrease the number of articles tagged with {{wikify}}, {{cleanup}}, etc. It has nothing to do with NAFTA, CAFTA, or any other free trade agreement. Heck, the letters are not even in the right order. JETFA stands for Just Edit The F-ing Article(with the "F" standing for whatever your imagination can come up with). This page and its subpages contain their goals and suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please just sign up and do what you can, or inquire on the talk page.

WikiProject JETFA

[edit] Scope

At the core of this WikiProject is the guideline to Be Bold! Just edit the article. Any article will do. If you come across an article that needs wikifying, rather than tagging it with {{wikify}}, instead just do it yourself! If there is an article with a {{cleanup}} or {{merge}} tag, clean it up or merge it! Try to encourage others to do the same. There are thousands of articles tagged with various templates (and huge backlogs), that could easily be removed with very minor work.
