Please, for cruiser's sake, delete everything in the XJ How To Section and start over with people who know what they're talking about. Every single sentence is wrong, and we have helpful articles like "How to fix cloudy headlights" for a vehicle with glass sealed beam lights.
I initially thought it was hilarious how incredibly wrong it all is, but it's a reflection of the quality of this forum.
Please delete it all before damage is done to the CF reputation.

Yea it's for real, under the banner and next to 'New Posts'.
What seems to have happened is they copy-pasted the entire thing from Ford how-to's and did not clean it up yet.

The article about the foggy headlights is a about GC with foggy plastic headlights 
The info is sound, it just seems the organization is off since they have stuff not XJ related in the XJ section and vise versa.

I have nothing seeing as y'all already addressed my concerns. Anyone think Cruiser or myself should apply for it instead?

Any of us who have been here a while could do a much better job. Cruiser in particular could do outstanding work if he's interested--just look at his write-ups.

Here's a simple request for IB, can we (Staff) have moderation/editing privileges over the How-To submissions? IE: Being able to move an article to its proper location, spelling/information edits, etc...
Or, how about a subsection like our would write ups had where a current submission is placed for us to read, review and edit before being placed up for the rest to see.
