Are you a good writer? I need your help.

Hey guys.
So, I need people to help me out with a project. No, not an SMBX project, but something for the site itself. I need some people to recruit that are good at writing stuff. English must be your primary language and you have to have good grammar/punctuation/syntax when making posts on the forum.
If this goes well, we'll have a wiki soon.

Uh, okay? Is this writing a wiki?

Why? There are people whose primary language is not English and who still have a good English knowledge, grammar, punctuation etc.
English is only my second language, but if it's possible nevertheless, I could help out a bit.

I mean, if your English is good enough then it doesn't matter. That's not a strict rule, but I will consider it in the early stages of the wiki. Later, anyone with an account will be able to edit it.

I think my English is good enough - so am I in? If you wanna test my English knowledge first, though, go ahead.

I think I'm going to give it a try. You can judge my grammar, punctuation, etcetera from all my posts if you want.

In all seriousness, I'm pretty good at writing and wording, and my use of grammar is good as well. I'm one of the few in existence who notice comma splices, and I'm a grammar nazi as well as a perfectionist. I'm likely to go crazy editing articles, viciously combing out flaws and refining text like some kind of virus. You have been warned.

I might be able to help.
But my internet connection is extremely unfriendly to wikis. That's probably going to end by the time we start, but still.

What do we do to help with the production of the wiki? I'd gladly pitch in if I find the time to do anything, so count me in.
My primary language was Finnish, but if you actually take a hard gander at nearly all of my posts on the forums, you'd find that my grammar is pretty good. I think I'm pretty capable of the job, but the question is if you think I'm capable for the job.

I'm pretty good at writing wiki pages (check out my work on the MarioWiki, under this name, for confirmation), and I'd definitely be willing to help out. This is a good idea.

Alright, awesome, thanks to everyone for the interest so far. I'll PM people soon.
If you're reading this and are still interested and haven't posted yet, do so!

How about we spread the required articles between everybody who signed up?

I'd like to cast, you can see good punctuation, grammar and syntax in my posts. I rarely do typos and English is my primary language.
I could help sometimes

I would love to help write the wiki,but not full time!
I have made so many levels on SMBX,but never posted them because I have no internet.
I know more about
Items than anything else.
English IS my primary language,and I have helped my mom type a book.
