Well, assuming I have Ash's support in this, I have two general tasks I want the committee to begin working on right away.

The first one is pretty much the main goal of the committee. I want you five, at your own time and your own pace, to scour around the site and try to at least comment upon a minimum of at least three to five articles, each of you, that need improvement before this Sunday hopefully. And then repeat this process weekly from here on. This will be a weekly quota we will try to meet every week, between three to five, which isn't very hard I do not think. But I would really like that to be more. However, I feel like you guys should at least try to make it routine to at least meet a quota of five articles a week with advice and comments that will help the article improve itself. If you can get at least two to three articles to make actual changes, which end up helping quality, then this will really make strides toward our goal in the long run.

Now, one thing we can offer as a reward, which I will consult with Ash before making it official, is that the user that makes the most changes to their articles in a month on the word of comments by the committee will be awarded "User of the Month" and have a short narrative written about them on the main page. I think this'll be a good way to make people even a little bit more willing to hear the committee members out.

The second task is that I want is to tag any article you come across that has less than 500 bytes as being a violation of the Manual of Style. We really need to start cracking down on articles like this. I mean, for god's sake, even this article is right over 500 bytes. Users have absolutely no excuse to have any articles be less than 500 bytes. This means tagging any article that has just an infobox as well.
