# '''Find and add [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|reliable sources]]'''{{spaced ndash}}It is most important that sources demonstrating the notability of a subject are added to articles when they are found. Do it properly, using the correct [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation templates]].
# '''Add [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProjects]]'''{{spaced ndash}}View article talk pages to see if appropriate [[:Category:WikiProject bannersbanner templates|WikiProject banners]] have been added ([[Wikipedia:Article_alerts/Subscription_list|this list of banners]] maybe be easier to browse). WikiProject banners help draw attention to articles from editors who are interested in the subject, especially if the project subscribes to [[WP:AALERTS|Article Alerts]]. You don't need anyone's permission to add relevant WikiProject banners to article talk pages.
# '''Solicit WikiProject input'''{{spaced ndash}}Many articles needing rescue merely need attention from an [[Wikipedia:Expert editors|expert]] on the subject. A short note on a WikiProject talk page seeking expert attention can bring remarkable results fast.
# '''Take the time to strengthen the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section|Lead section]]'''{{spaced ndash}}The lead sets the tone for the rest of an article. Take the time to rewrite or improve the lead so that an article's title and its contents are in sync. Nothing detracts more from an otherwise notable subject than a lead that inadequately conveys what an article is about.
