As a concept, editorial projects were launched at the end of 2015, although similar projects had been run sporadically before then. These projects are targeted to particular topics or types of content and aim to ensure that our content is kept clean and up to date. Naturally, these represent a mere fraction of all the edits undertaken by our contributors and editors daily (see the edits page).
