If someone can identify some examples of articles well-written in a formal tone that could also be helpful to future editors. I am going off-topic, but you've pointed out a whole different problem. Many mediocore articles have "good" or "featured" status. Some newer editors might use them as examples creating more flawed pages. I have made the mistake myself several times.

Back to the rest of your coment. If this is still about the news articles, old ones don't need to be rewritten. The harm is already done, and the effort put into digging up old blogs and reworking them would be wasted. The news team should be made of an elite group of experienced editors, not newbies, who need an example.
