Welcome to the Wikipedia Cleanup project. This project is intended as a resource for Wikipedia Cleanup information and discussion. Cleanup issues that this project covers may include wikification, spelling, grammar, tone, and sourcing.

Lists of pages requiring cleanup are automatically generated from the {{cleanup}} banners placed on articles. See Category:All pages needing cleanup and Category:Cleanup by month. Older articles with issues that have not been dealt with in some time may be found at Wikipedia:BACKLOG.

Volunteer to help Wikipedia:Cleanup

Due to the massive backlog of listings that have ballooned the Wikipedia:Cleanup lists to include thousands of articles, Wikipedia:Cleanup needs your help!

Feel free to add your name to the list of volunteers who are actively involved in this project! Adding your name will allow other editors to know that you are actively involved in this project as well as allow for better co-ordination between cleanup editors.

The Wikipedia Cleanup Legacy List

The manually maintained lists on this page (below) have to an extent been superseded by category lists that are automatically generated from the {{cleanup}} banners placed on articles. See Category:All pages needing cleanup and Category:Cleanup by month.

You may add cleanup requests here as well if you wish (though it is not necessary); see Wikipedia:Cleanup process for further information. Please only add articles to this list that are unlikely to be fixed without the help of Wikipedia cleanup volunteers. Editors are STRONGLY encouraged to try and perform clean-up themselves before posting articles to this list. Help in cleaning articles on this list is also greatly appreciated.

Please keep in mind that the lists here constitute only a small fraction of the Wikipedia articles tagged as needing cleanup, and they may not always be maintained as new articles are tagged or old articles are fixed. The list is still active through a number of editors who do still regularly try to attend to this list. Assistance and participation of other editors is welcome.

You may report confusing/messy articles below and explain why they need to be cleaned-up (grammar, spelling, formatting, order, copyright issues, confusion, etc.). Be sure to cross post your entry on the article's own discussion page for the references of other editors who may not visit this page. Please do not add articles below simply because they are POV or are lacking sources. Make sure to sign your additions with the following format: --~~~~.

December, 2008

  • International Year of Astronomy - I have removed the copyvio from the article, but the subsections of #Cornerstone projects still reads like a press release. One example: "Universe Awareness illustrates the multicultural origins of modern astronomy in an effort to broaden children's minds, awaken their curiosity in science and stimulate global citizenship and tolerance." Aecis·(away) talk 23:53, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Bangladesh M.H.M High School & College, Doha-Qatar needs significant sourcing work. I've done my best with the massive copyediting and other issues that were within my time and abilities, but I don't know enough about the subject area to deal with sourcing the article, since it refers to an expatriate school in a third country, there are a lot of things I just don't understand. The sources provided don't seem to match the article enough, and I can't find independant information, just what is on the school's website. Jo7hs2 (talk) 21:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Boudewijn Poelmann needs some npov'ing, the article reads like a resumé. Just an example from the first paragraph: "Boudewijn Poelmann (born 1949) is a Dutch entrepreneur who favours doing business with a cause. A cause more than earning money or creating value only." Aecis·(away) talk 01:23, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
I pared it down a bit. It's still unsourced, and has peacock phrases, but I had to leave something. Murphy2010 (talk) 01:17, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Thinking of You (Katy Perry Song) - Yuck. Tried to clean this article up but did not even know what the editor was trying to say. References are all over the place, no wiki mark-up and it looks like it has been written by someone who has English as their second language. Obviously the article will get more editors when the song becomes more prominent but for now it looks like a mess, hence the cleanup tag I have placed on the article.

Also - the disambig used is wrong, as "song" should not have a capital letter. "Thinking of You" without the capital letter for the word song simply redirects to the One of the Boys album page, so when I tried to move the page it would not work. Help here would be appreciated. Thankyou. Gibbsyspin 03:48, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

  • R&R Partners - lots of self promotion, reads like an ad for the company. (Kdr81 (talk) 20:06, 8 December 2008 (UTC))
  • Jan Mazoch - This article really sucks. Its not a wiki-article, wrong spelled and i think its better with more information about his career instead of the crash. The Rolling Camel (talk) 10:19, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
  • I worked on this article some tonight. Straightened out some of the language issues, added sections for his earlier career. In August 2008 he decided to end his career. Added that. I think it's in better shape. I'll keep working on it. Doctorfun (talk) 07:57, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

November, 2008

  • Boot Camp (film) - Disorganized; needs re-written entirely. Doesn't look like an article.
  • Gadsby: Champion of Youth - Some editors have apparently decided to write this article without using the letter 'e'. No I'm not kidding!! I'm currently engaged in an edit war over whether the {{cleanup}} tag should be applied, so I'm posting this here instead. Blue-Haired Lawyer 18:46, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
    • The above statement has nothing to do with cleanup requirement it is simply that the above editor does not accept the majority (near consensus) decision to write the article as a lipogram. Nevertheless, please give your views on the subject on talk page but please read the earlier extensive discussion of the subject first. This is essentially an RFC. Martin Hogbin (talk) 22:56, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
  • No. 419 squadron RCAF - Needs cleanup, doesn't look like an article at all. Pevernagie (talk) 10:40, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Shorts - A long time tagged article, this one suffers from a monocultural point of view and lacks sources. Needs help from non north american editors to cover sociological conventiosn and history of other regions. --Lendorien (talk) 17:44, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Nautical tourism - Has been tagged for cleanup for 2 years. A stub with practically no edits but the creators, this desperately needs attention, expansion, sources, orphan fixing, etc. --Lendorien (talk) 16:23, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

- I worked on this site a little today. Plenty of information to expand it. Doctorfun (talk) 02:33, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Revised article, added wikiproject. needs sourcing and some research to fact check.--Lendorien (talk) 17:04, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

October

  • Ruthenium (II) tris (bathophenantroline disulfonate) - Utterly confusing to the layman. Needs a lookover by a chemist. Orphaned as well. --Lendorien (talk) 18:32, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Simile - Lists of similies need to be pruned back with notable cited examples used instead of what's currently used as int he style of an encyclopedia. --Lendorien (talk) 14:39, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Boys in Red Tragedy - Grammar, citations/references could use some cleanup. Expansion of Aftermath and Reaction sections also wouldn't hurt. --Kuzwa (talk)
  • William Poole (American 19th cent. NYC bully or gangster) - Intro is short but establishes notability as a political leader. Unfortunately, the article says nothign about this and just contains text dumps of article quotes. Research needed to turn this into a proper stub. --Lendorien (talk) 19:06, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Johann Strauss I - Article is awkwardly written and sounds like a translation, will probably need a complete rewrite. ♪TempoDiValse♪ 23:29, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Podiatry - Some OR issues here. Parts need to be wikified, needs organizational help, soucing, and the difference/similarity between podiatry and chiropody need to be made clear. --Lendorien (talk) 14:16, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance - an easy cleanup. Some sections need prosifying. Needs some editing to remove "you." --Lendorien (talk) 13:38, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Religion and politics - Has seen major cleanup in the past year. Needs review by those knowledgable and sourcing. See talk page for details.--Lendorien (talk) 14:47, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Safety climate - Completely unwikified, unsourced, possibly copied from somewhere. --Lendorien (talk) 17:51, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
       *I put this up for deletion. Not Wikipedia material. More like a training manual Doctorfun (talk) 00:23, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Final Destination / Final Destination 2 / Final Destination 3 share a common issue with overly detailed plot summaries and extended "cast" sections that further introduce plot information. Will attempt to trim the fat myself, but could use some help to make sure trimming fits in standards. -- TRTX T / C 13:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Karl Michael Ziehrer Article is in bad need of copyediting and cleanup; sounds like a translation. ♪TempoDiValse♪ 23:29, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
  • The Fabric of Reality is a very confusing, poorly organised, collection of factoids. Perhaps it should be turned into an article, or perhaps pruned severly. Drpixie (talk) 11:26, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Diamond Shoal Light should have two confusing elements reconciled; the text only covers a short-lived lighthouse of 1891, while the infobox only mentions a 1966–2001 lighthouse. Chris the speller (talk) 16:11, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

September

  • Sudd requires cleanup. Has a overly technical tone, with some ESL issues. Needs expanded intro and intext citations. --Mathpianist93 (talk) 03:23, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
  • Übel_Blatt Multiple grammatical errors in character section. I have fixed a portion of it, though it requires more experienced editors and people acquainted with the manga to clarify several discrepancies. Riwoz (talk) 01:39, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

August

  • Auditory masking is a quite informative article; however, there's lots of unnecessary text scattered throughout the article. e.g. "(Gelfand 2004)." is repeated many times for no reason, and "{{{author}}}, {{{title}}}, [[{{{publisher}}}]], [[{{{date}}}]]" appears in another place. 4.242.147.244 (talk) 19:29, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Those are citations. They probablyc ould be coverted to intext tho. --Lendorien (talk) 15:24, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
  • History of Shanghai is full of unnecessary details and generalizations that make the article confusing and tedious to read. It needs extensive re-writing. winstonho0805 (talk) 07:00, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
  • By some "six degrees of separation" type browsing, I find De'ang to have a clear case of copy-and-paste content and the like. Could do with a mass perge of copyrighted material etc. doktorb wordsdeeds 07:36, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
  • JaJuan Smith. Needs actual information. 24 August 2008
  • Treasury, The Treasury and The Treasury (disambiguation). Some rearrangement/merging/repartitioning of entries needed. Jackiespeel (talk) 15:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Server (computing) - Confusing definition of the term, followed by other several disorderly definitions as the bulk of the article. There has to be a more encyclopedic way to present the subject. Kreachure (talk) 23:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
    • Upon review of the article, it is suggested that an authority on the subject replace the list of unneeded "Definitions of terms" and replace it with a history of the use of servers.
    • Just did some massive cleanup of the definitions, passing on for further review LaVieEntiere (talk) 06:47, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Vasileios Spanoulis Page has been hijacked many many times by Spanoulis' fans and i couldn't keep up with all the edits. It has turned into some kind of fanpage.Plus it contains many useless information and details.Page is also very long Lacks NPOV too. Just to tell you that i had to removed links to videos in youtube one of which was called "Vassilis Spanoulis is better than Ricky Rubio and Rudy Fernandez". Sergiogr ([[User

talk:Sergiogr|talk]]) 11:10, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

  • List of disaster films Contains many films which fall outside of this category. List seems to be a list of all films which contain disasters (using a very broad definition) rather than read as a list of films from the Disaster film genre. Needs much editing. Deckchair (talk) 15:11, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Dominic_Carter Article reads like promotion material for Carter's book and career.
  • Wacky Races -intermittent POV-pushing and little sourcing
  • Alphabets derived from the Latin needs to be reorganized, to be brief. I have discussed other details on the talk page. -Nameneko (talk) 02:21, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
  • WPYA - Needs a quick fact checking as the text seems convoluted. The station really had that many callsign changes? --Lendorien (talk) 16:44, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Folk high school - The article -- particularly the section on France -- still needs quite a bit of sourcing. Also needs to be fact checked and possibly some text editing for normalization. --Lendorien (talk) 16:46, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Ashutosh Tewari - Has GAN potential but needs to have more specific information regarding the link between robotic surgery and the subject of the article.--Nishant M (talk) 10:53, 11 August 2008 (UTC)Nishant M
  • Miss Nepal 2007 -- several issues. Edited mainly by people who do not have English as their first language. I think. Kaiwhakahaere (talk)

July

  • Anton Abele, a little help with organising the references.
    • Have changed the format of the references so they are now in order and relate to the article text. Have also made various style and grammar and spelling alterations to the text. The article could do with some more references.IrishPete (talk) 19:42, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Vazhithala, needs to be written more clearly with some geographic context and needs wikification
    • Cleaned up grammar, trimmed down unneeded info, added stub tag still in need of a picture and political stats etc Royall (talk) 14:3619 August 2008
  • Photoanimation This article about Ken Burns Effect-ish processes needs major reworking. TMC1221 (talk)
  • Taiyuan Cites no references. I corrected some grammar errors, but I'm sure there's stil much to be done. I think that the intro should be expanded, as well. IceUnshattered (talk)
  • West View Park has no references, needs to be wikified, and definitely needs copy editing. --Ultima Designs (talk) 01:18, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Science and technology in Canada - the second biggest article on wikipedia. --Allemandtando (talk) 17:42, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Nuevo Estadio Azul has no references, it's uncategorized, and is using bad grammar. Erik93 (talk) 04:20, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Big Stick Diplomacy It's high importance, and not much larger than a couple paragraphs. I've already started, but it could use some outside help. Leonard(Bloom) 21:25, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Academic disciplines is in some major need of revisions. Both in terms of the current bullet format which is making additions to various sections unsymmetrical, as well as major content issues. Currently there are few cited sources, and disciplines of all stripes are being added - including those that do not even have a wiki article. OpusDiabolus (talk) 11:17, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Stereotype needs dire work overall, drastically lacking citations, organization, POV, balance of information, and conciseness. Concentrates too much on ethnical discrimination rather than the overall topic itself. Recommended into splitting types of discrimination into sub-articles. Zanibas (talk) 07:35, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
  • The article on The Mars Volta has sections (especially those on their various albums) that are a real mess. There are multiple references to dates with no year given; grammar is often horrible; references are most often lacking. Perhaps someone with an overall knowledge of the band's oeuvre might be able to do some work on it. --StavinChain (talk) 11:56, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

June

May

  • Persepolis - Reads like written by someone who has English as a second language. Needs grammar checking. Lacks sources. Listed since 2006. --Lendorien (talk) 16:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Notting Hill - Seems ok, but refs are a mess and not in proper citation format. --Lendorien (talk) 15:43, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Rhyming slang could use a good re-write, also some copyediting, grammatical fixes, and general cleanup. Cheers, --/ 23:04, 27 May 2008 (UTC).
  • Web crawler - Uses several different forms of citation. Needs to be unified into one style. --Lendorien (talk) 01:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
  • John_L._Merkt I am unfamiliar with particular editing functions and would appreciate assistance in cleaning the article. R3ap3R.inc (talk) 19:49, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Chicken 65 The article has been edited and counter-edited by people wanting to lay claim to its legacy or something.. and one of the references quote is a blogspot.com post.. extremely irrelevant blog.. the dish however is not.. please ask me for help if needed.. in my opinion the whole article should be flushed.. made bare.--Bijun (talk) 17:36, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Tremulous The article is written a lot like a game guide, and needs more sources. 11:24, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Secretariat (horse) Honors and Retirement is not written like an encyclopedia article and needs more citations.
  • Edward Dunlop Character Summary contains false information in the Commands bit. --DestructoTalk to me 02:34, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Beatrix_of_the_Netherlands Article is entirely unsourced. PrinceOfCanada (talk) 03:32, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Jackie_Collins Article has been incorrectly sourced from unofficial biographies of the author. I will be editing it over the next few weeks Twiglet23 (talk) 15:58, 1 May 2008 (GMT)
  • Burlesque (album) is not written in an encyclopedic way. Lunakeet 13:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Butcombe is full of typos and grammatical errors. — Paul G (talk) 17:18, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Rainbow Boys The Character Summary needs to be edited for grammar and style; it may be easier to entirely rewrite the section with new descriptions. --75.111.175.177 (talk) 23:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
  • James Lowther, 1st Viscount Ullswater The conference links have ceased operating - probably other links to the given site need checking. Jackiespeel (talk) 17:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Education in Bulgaria - It needs to be more organized and wikified. Splee (talk) 10:02, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Benina International Airport - The section on the new airport sounds like an advert/news article. It needs to be cleaned. Jaw101ie (talk) 19:01, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
  • World War III (section) - The premise of the section Difficulty in determining a "World War" is relevant to the page, but the arguments are confused, and it drifts off the point. Deciding what is meant by "World War" is a pre-requisite to determining what (if any) events will be labelled as "World War III". Perhaps this section should just raise the question and refer to World War, which covers the ground more coherently. Swiveler (talk) 06:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Jesse Jackson, Jr. The article is a bit of a mess -- some mis-spelled items, many POV statements, etc. Pyronite (talk) 22:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

March

  • Delta Upsilon - Needs to be completely revised. Contians huge lists of members that need to be prosified (in the style used in Alpha Phi Alpha. See the talk page for suggestions for cleanup. --Lendorien (talk) 15:57, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Chain Reaction (film) - This article is not even fully completed. If someone who has seen the movie could clean it up. As it stands the article lacks sources or even a complete plot summary. --Black Rabite (talk) 10:13 14 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Forest_School,_Horsham - A complete mess. Poorly formatted. Has a broken infobox, needs rewrite and wikifying. --Lendorien (talk) 14:24, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Aureal Semiconductor - Article has a lot of messy external links. Needs copy editing + sourcing. Structure could use a cleanup. Tagged since 2006. Probably an easy fixer upper. --Lendorien (talk) 15:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Anna-Maria Ravnopolska-Dean - Major rewrite candidate, reads like it is a resume for the artist. --ScaldingHotSoup (talk) 18:53, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

February

February 15-29

  • Rights of Man - This article is extremely cluttered, needs better segways from section to section, some rewriting and possibly expert attention. Also lacks any sources. --Lendorien (talk) 16:43, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Pancharatna Kritis - Needs to be rewritten in a more encyclopedic style, wikifying, copy editing, and a lot of work. Contains all of the lyrics of the piece. These need to be removed or moved to wikisource. POV issues as well. No sourcing and orphaned. Desperately in need of attention. I've started work on it, but help needed. --Lendorien (talk) 00:45, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Chinatown patterns in North America - Completely unsourced, smacks of OR. --Lendorien (talk) 23:58, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Identity (social science) - large portions are unwikified. May contain copyvio. No intext refs, confusing. --Lendorien (talk) 23:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • George Seton, 5th Earl of Winton is in dire need of help from someone who is familiar with British history. Travellingcari (talk) 16:49, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Buddhism needs, first of all, reorganizing into a coherent structure. User:Gimme_danger & I tried a while back, but people kept simply reverting & ignored repeated requests to suggest their own arrangement. I hope people can come in & knock their heads together. Once there's a proper structure I can start seriously trying to address the imbalance in the article. Peter jackson (talk) 16:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
  • List of current DC Comics publications needs updating. Cubzrule (talk) 09:03, 18 February 2008 (UTC)\
  • Ben Macpherson needs cleaning up and a check of sources a lot of incorrect information

  • Paul Tillich - maximally baffling heavy theology that may be OR. Needs stiff editing to make this accessible to the lay reader. 86.145.94.229 (talk) 04:47, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Transcendental argument for the non-existence of God "Criticisms" section reads like a colloquial forum.
  • Equivalence principle has a section "The equivalence principle and the nature of mass" that needs to be looked at by an expert. There are no citations, the English is poor, and it's lacking in any technical information needed to explain and justify the theory that it's talking about. I'd do it myself, but I've never heard of this theory before and so have no idea where to begin. Dbutler1986 (talk) 10:08, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
  • SGML -- This article mainly describes highly specialized aspects of its associated subject. I'm contributing with the article but I would like some help. Rjgodoy (talk) 19:09, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Aang Article has serious MoS problems that have to do with writing about fiction. In addition, recent changes have cluttered the article. Parent5446(Murder me for my actions) 02:16, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Normal number - "Agafonov showed an early connection between finite-state machines and normal sequences: every subsequence selected from a normal sequence by a regular language is also normal. In other words, if one runs a finite-state machine on a normal sequence, where the finite-state machine outputs the digit it just read whenever it enters an accepting state, then the sequence it outputs will be normal." See the talk page for why I believe the statement is false as it stands; could somebody check the reference given ("Agafonov 1968") for what it actually says? - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:21, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Template:European Union Treaty Scenario is broken (at least in Mozilla Firefox); it places the images beyond the right edge of the screen (and as a result you have to scroll the article to the right to see them). - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

2007

December 2007

  • Statistical survey - This page is written like class notes.
  • Mary Anderson (stage actress) - A large part of this article is taken word for word from a single source. Although the source is cited, this section should be summarized instead, especially since it is not set off in quotes and is in first person. CClio333 04:33, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • The Second Sex - The verbosity of this article, particularly the section Content of The Second Sex, makes it very confusing. It appears to be an essay or thesis but is so under-referenced that one cannot tell where the information and commentary is coming from. As a general reader I lack the knowledge base to sort out opinion from quotation from original research.Trilobitealive (talk) 01:41, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Union College, Tellippalai, Tamil Eelam - It's very hard to make sense of this article. Brievenbus 22:35, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Mirror TV - The article reads like an ad. Brievenbus 15:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Links through Special:Linksearch/translate.google.com should probably be replaced with direct links. Language icons should be added after the links instead. Sample change: [1] -- User:Docu
  • OvBB Article needs to reflect the recent domain ownership change. It no longer is under Jonathan Freeman's ownership. (1and1 now owns it.) --Iyeru42 (talk) 12:20, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Image Caption needs the Project forums link removed, unless you wish to change it to one of the demos. --Iyeru42 (talk) 17:04, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Falling of Blossoms is completely in Engrish. Needs proper grammar, and all that. Rogutaan (talk) 01:31, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance isn't that bad, but still could sound more professional. / 03:38, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Royal Military College of Canada needs cleanup. It used to be a good one but like any University or school article, every student adds it own little piece. It is now hard to read and confusing (i.e. languages, traditions, alumni) and there are a lot of irrelevant chapters (i.e. diversity, collectibles, ethics). Please Help!
  • Magnetosphere particle motion - Article has a discursive conversational physics textbook style, not an encyclopedia article style. It also lacks a proper time and place in order to intro to lead intot he article in a way a layman can understand. --Lendorien 19:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Businesses and organizations in Second Life - The page seems to have become a target for Second Life-related organizations to promote themselves. I have declined to speedily delete the page, as I believe it is salvageable; but it needs a severe pruning. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 10:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

  • History of baseball in the United States - Section on Negro Leagues contains very few facts and doesn't read like an encyclopedia entry at all. Really the whole article needs a major overhaul, almost no references.--Youjane1 14:33, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Nomad - Article needs attention to check accuracy and possibly expand to provide more accurate definition. Also needs sources. --Lendorien 14:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Sukyo Mahikari - Religious article needs thorough cleanup to make encyclopedic. Needs wikification and copy editing for tone and pov issues. Significant sections unsourced. --Lendorien 14:31, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Arguments for and against drug prohibition - reads like a debate, some arguments are very weak e.g. Needs to be gone over for NPOV. Also contains serious sourcing issues. The article uses three different methods of sourcing. Needs to be converted to footnote intext references for entirety of article. Sections may need to be merged or reorganized. A very messy article. --Lendorien 19:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Assiti Shards series - This article has serious neutrality and OR issues. It needs to be deeply cut, perhaps even a deep revert. Completely lacks sources and has a fancruft tone. --Lendorien 19:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Lean Construction Worded like an advertisement. Deals with a specific construction technique by a limited group of firms. Promotes its superiority. Uses extensive external linking directly to for-profit organizations. 4.230.162.237 02:51, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Clinical_depression#Hypomania Urgent attention of an expert needed ! I (doctor) consider it factually wrong. Anxiety and panic are mostly not part of hypomania. Hypomania belongs to bipolar disorder not unipolar depression. And more and more. Chaotic written too.--jmak 08:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Hidden Mickey, This is quite possibly the worst article I ever read. It is filled with trivia, unrefernced things,indeed, but almost half asmush as the other one errors and a informal style. / 16:42, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Moisture absorber - Pooly written (informal style ...), unreferenced. - Mike Rosoft 10:54, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Translation - Has some readability issues. Also seems to be the subject of an editing skirmish between people who are in the field. The result is an article that reads like a textbook and is not very accessible to the non-expert. Man It's So Loud In Here 16:55, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Bezant Confusing and internal contradictions.
  • Irish Property Bubble - Terribly formatted and very poor writing and content.Referencing could be fixed up as well. Olockers 10:30, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Radu Duda, Prince of Hohenzollern-Veringen - Allegations of heavily POV and non-nuetrality. May need copy editing for tone and research to provide better balance. Subject of an edit war. Needs to be reviewed. Please see talk page for more details. --Lendorien 18:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Gelou - a bit more context needed. Sources lacking. --Lendorien 14:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Banasthali Vidyapith - Marked as an article which reads like an advertisement. It's based (with apparent permission) off the school's promotional brochure. Needs tone editing, wikification, cropping and possible expansion to include info usually found in university articles. --Lendorien 14:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Big Brother Australia series 3 - Needs tone checking and sourcing. --Lendorien 14:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Lalitaditya Muktapida - Article is not entirely thematically coherent at the moment. It needs to be reviewed by someone with a background in the subject to straighten things out. --Lendorien 14:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Alan Ladd - his filmography is completely unorganised. Reginmund 18:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Turned filmography into a list, titles still needs to wikified and the list needs to be pruned from non-notable entries as it is pretty long.--Sus scrofa 00:35, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Ferry Corsten - this is a featured-article calibre dj, but his page seems like it was made either by n00bs or his label. discography is a complete disaster and it lacks focus and background. DJRaveN4x 01:04, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Last Words - The article needs to be put into proper sections and some general clean up may also be needed. --Credema 17:57, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Book 3 (Inheritance trilogy) may need to be updated. I had heard that a release date had been released for the third book. I believe it was set for early March, 2008, unless I heard false information.
  • Campus SuperStar is too long. Too many information thrown in on the article which are not required. Please post discussion on talk page before any major cleanup is done.Cocoma 22:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Project SuperStar is too long. Too many information thrown in on the article which are not required. Cocoma 22:32, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

  • 2 Wheels of Enterprise needs a lot of work. It lacks wikilinking; the section titles do not conform to general practice; the sections are too brief. I don't have time to tackle it, but hopefully somebody can get it into shape. --Moonriddengirl 13:32, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq grammar, repeated sentences, sections read like it was written by some teenager unfamiliar with the language. As the general's place in Pakistani history is important, I would like someone with academic knowledge to review, since the article has changed since the last time I read it. Mac
  • This looks ok now, I have done a little editing and removed some of the bias.--Seth J. Frantzman 13:50, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Abduction phenomenon is a godawful mess; see Talk:Abduction phenomenon#Numerous massive problems Eleland 04:27, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Jealousy is based upon an inaccurate/limited definition of the word "jealousy." Does not cover any of the other meanings of the word beyond that in a romantic context. Includes poorly organized, non-encylopaedic content. Entire 3rd paragraph is such high-level summary that it reads like a elementary school project - was worse than useless, far below the quality I've come to expect from Wikipedia. Punctuation is poor -I'm sure I could go on, but overall, I felt this was a very disappointing article.
  • Feminism and the Oedipus complex - Messy stylistically; the section on Deutsch reads like it was automatically translated or translated badly, & other sections are haphazard & unclear. All sections need more detail and a generally more thorough, professional treatment to be useful. PoetrixViridis 04:07, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Emmitt Smith - completely lacking in important career milestones (such as how the Cowboys acquired him), as well as lacking all but the most basic sense of a historic overview (one game is given its own section, the rest of his career is virtually ignored). --Badger Drink 19:43, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Uyghur people - Sloppily written, with poor grammar and illogical constructions; some sections are written in a juvenile tone; many unsupported statements; general pov Bacrito 15:36, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Big Brother (UK) - Article reads like a fan site. Poor grammar, no sources. Just plain low-standards. Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 18:16, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Had a go at this but it's such a huge subject to cover on one page... FeeelixTalk!! 12:13, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I had a try at going through bits of the grammar and giving some bits references but it really needs a total rewrite! Groovychick3291 20:18, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Digital Entertainment Network - Article needs to be broken down, it is currently just a block o text. Grammar needs to be improved. Basically, the whole article needs improvement. --Credema 03:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
