Line 33: {{redirect\|WP:PRESERVE\|the Manual of Style section on preserving formatting\|MOS:RETAIN}} Great Wikipedia articles come from a succession of editors' efforts. Rather than ''remove'' imperfect content outright, fix problems if you can, [[WP:Template index/Cleanup\|tag]] or excise them if you can't. As explained [[#Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required\|above]], Wikipedia is a work in progress and perfection is ''not'' required. As long as any of the facts or ideas added to an article [[WP:ONUS\|would belong]] in the "finished" article, they [[Wikipedia:Five pillars\|should be retained]] if they meet the three [[Wikipedia:core content policies\|core content policies]]: [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view\|Neutral point of view]] (which does not mean no point of view), [[Wikipedia:Verifiability\|Verifiability]], and [[Wikipedia:No original research\|No original research]]. If you think an article needs to be rewritten or changed substantially, [[WP:Be bold\|go ahead and do so]], but it is best to [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#How to use article talk pages\|leave a comment]] about why you made the changes on the [[Help:Talk pages\|article's talk page]].
