In my view they don't need my time and effort. They're doing great now." We really need a lot more help here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Typo_Team "The Wikipedia Typo Team is dedicated to improving the quality of Wikipedia by correcting typos and misspellings. If you see any typos (even minor ones), please correct them. This kind of editing is a never-ending job, so we could use your help! Please consider joining our team. All you need to do is start correcting typos."
