For 2., I'm wondering if it would be possible to have some LW to volunteer to review articles done by non-native English speakers, and improve the English quality, before the article is published to LW in general. Do you think the idea is good overall ? Would any of you volunteer to do that ?

I would be happy to review articles. Could orthonormal or a mod add the following paragraph to the welcome thread, perhaps after the "note for theists" in "A few notes about the community"?

If English is not your first language, don't let that make you afraid to post or comment. You can get English help on Discussion- or Main-level posts by sending a PM to one of the following users (use the "send message" link on the upper right of their user page). Either put the text of the post in the PM, or just say that you'd like English help and you'll get a response with an email address.

I'd also be happy to review articles.

I'd be happy to review and edit articles.

Also, the LW Public Goods team will probably look over your article if you post it there.
