Our Goal
The Behavior Saviors' main goal is to get all teenage subculture articles fixed to perfection and to help kids fit in with a certain group. It's a universal truth that teens want to fit in - as does everyone else. Many people are contributing to wikiHow through articles that teach you how to fit into a specific "group" (ex. Goth, Prep, Punk); while there is no need to expel such articles, we can do so much to help improve their standards.
How Does This Project Work?
The leaders, D rae, Bo, and TuggingHeartstrings will accept nominations for articles that need editing. On the top of the article, they'll post a template explaining what the article needs, such as pictures, more steps, or clarity in writing. Just click on the links below to transport you to each category's page.
After an article has been edited quite a bit, it will be sent to one of the members of the Behavior Saviors Copyediting Team for proofreading and finalization. Then, editors can sit back, relax, and know that they have saved yet another teen behavior article from deletion... until the next one comes along.

How to Nominate
If you aren't a leader and would like to nominate an article for the project, simply find the leader of the subculture that best fits your article, and put a link to the article on their talk page. They'll check out the article and get back to you.

To help...
If you are a teen (or young adult), take a look at the project page, and decide if you would like to help lead a category. You can contact D rae or Tugging Heartstrings for more information. Or, if you aren't a teen, but would love to help the project reach its goal, consider helping out with the Behavior Saviors Copyediting Team.
Even if you don't want to get too involved, even a little spell check is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help!
Attention All Leaders
So, how do you nominate articles? Well, since you're the self-proclaimed expert of your category, just search wikiHow for articles under your category. For example, if you lead prep, then search for prep, or something that the prep subculture may find interesting. Check out each article and if it needs:
*formatting
*more pictures
*copyediting
*clarity in steps
*accuracy
*a better summary
*more steps/tips/warnings/related articles
*links to other articles
*personal reference
*just needs to be cleaned up
then just follow the directions below.
And so on and so forth.
If you're interested in leading a category or have any questions, contact D rae, or TuggingHeartstrings for more information.
