 When you make your final edit, let me know by posting a message to my [[User talk:Grlucas|talk page]], and I will remove the banner to signify the completion of the remediation process.

+The rest of the steps below could (should?) happen in your sandbox. This is a space where you can remediate (make edits and errors) without publishing to the main space. This way, you avoid unwanted attention until you are ready to transfer your article to it proper place. You can access your personal sandbox by clicking “Sandbox” on the top-right of this (and every) page.
+I recommend this approach. Incomplete articles in the main space are fine; articles with errors should ''never'' appear there. A solid approach would be to edit (clean up typos, add references, tweak formatting, etc.) in your sandbox, then transfer each paragraph to the main space. After each paragraph, preview your article to see that you did not inadvertently introduce any errors. After a few paragraphs, save your work. With this approach, you can save a lot of time and potential headaches. For example, if you transfer an entire article from your sandbox, you might get a reference error. Tracking this down becomes much more difficult. If transfer by paragraph, then errors become much easier to identify and fix.}}
