User:Well-rested/Wikiproject Articles Needing Copy Edit

I have been considering starting a Wikiproject or task force for some time that would focus solely on maintaining and reducing the backlog of articles needing copy edit. This idea came about because I realised that there is currently no Wikiproject dealing with this (after WP:LOCE died due to non-fulfillment of copy editing requests, probably among other reasons).

The Wikiprojects closest in intention are WP:Grammar and WP:PR, but these don't deal with the backlog. I have contacted several people over the past weeks who are or may be interested in the project, and will send out a more general call for interested people once I have come up with a project page. We'll see how things go.
