''Perfection is not required'': [[WP:Wikipedia is a work in progress|Wikipedia is a work in progress]]. Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into [[WP:Featured articles|excellent articles]]. Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome. For instance, one person may start an article with an overview of a subject or a few random facts. Another may help standardize the article's formatting or have additional facts and figures or a graphic to add. Yet another may bring better [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#Due and undue weight|balance]] to the views represented in the article and perform fact-checking and [[WP:Citing sources|sourcing]] to existing content. At any point during this process, the article may become disorganized or contain substandard writing.
=== Neutrality in articles of living or recently deceased persons ===
