Wikipedia:Cleanup

The cleanup page is a place where articles with problems (ungrammatical, poorly formatted, confused, etc.) can be listed. Any user can fix or list articles here.

Older cleanup: Category:Cleanup by month. Pages are archived by month, but are still in need of cleanup (or de-listing if they have already been cleaned up).

If you are here because you have found a page that needs attention, you are encouraged to be bold and edit the page yourself to fix the problem. If for some reason you don't have the expertise to fix the problems yourself, for example because you don't know enough about the relevant subject, you can request the attention of other editors as follows:

1. Check "Resources for maintenance and collaboration" an inset text box on the right, to make sure there is not a more appropriate page on which to list the article.
2. Add the most specific applicable tag to the article or its talk page (note that having a cleanup tag will be distracting for readers, so only add them to articles if there is a good reason). See Cleanup resources. For general problems, use {{cleanup-date|September 2005}}.
3. Add your listing under today's date (UTC). Create a new section if yours is the first listing of the day.
4. Explain what needs to be done in a brief but specific manner in the article's talk page. (Keep in mind not everyone who sees the cleanup tag on the article will see your central listing.)
5. Sign your name, date and time by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ )
6. Also remember that you can submit an article in need of cleanup to the Cleanup Taskforce (which is always looking for members).

For more detailed information about this page, see Wikipedia:Cleanup process.

September 6, 2005

• Space marine - needs to be wikified; much info needs to be added
• Annie Hall - a new editor has added a section, the tone of which is inappropriate. He has left a hostile message on my talk page, and sent a hostile e-mail to another editor. I'm going to need help sorting this out! The JPS 20:37, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
• Problem of evil - Please sort out the formatting in, Barbara Shack 18:15, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
• E number - Needs a far better layout, something like a nice table with more info, at the moment its a not very useful list.--PopUpPirate 16:01, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Lasso programming language - Terrible formatting, editorial comments. Zoe 08:50, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Emmer Wheat - factual accuracy is extremely questionable! Please someone help revise and reference claims, already removed some statements as they literally made no sense. --BerserkerBen 14:32, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
• Maine Coon - Particularly the behavioral section was mostly just the author describing all the silly things their particular cat did, instead of noting traits of the entire breed. I cleaned it up a bit, but more needs to be done to clean up the article, and more factual notes about behavior could stand to be added. Praetorian42 15:16, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
• List of the largest subnational entities by area - The list is rather long - I think a table or perhaps a section or two is in order. Not saying the content needs shortened; I think just better formatting would help tremendously. Editing the list is a real bear. If you don't agree, feel free to delete the cleanup tag. Perhaps I'm wrong —akghetto (talk) 18:25, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
• Tolerance of religions - Bias claims based in opinion rather than fact; needs to be redone or deleted.

September 5, 2005

• cinnamon - rambling, repeated information, and possibly misleading or outdated information due to relying on 1911 Britannica.
• The Third World War takes one to a computer game of this title - when there were books written during the Cold War on this subject.

Computer game now at The Third World War (computer game). The Third World War now redirects to World War Three (disambiguation). -Acjelen 04:07, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

• Old Moore's Almanac and Old Moore's Almanack need sorting out - the latter redirects to itself and the former needs to indicate that the volume is reissued every year.
• Conformal Killing equation - Only contains the equation, with no explanation of its meaning. - Mike Rosoft 12:18, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Contributions of User:Kjrajesh - pretty much all this user's articles need to be cleaned up. - Mike Rosoft 20:09, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Tremayne - Only content is "High Imperial Inquisitor". (Note: Apart from the Star Wars character, there are also real people of this name.) - Mike Rosoft 20:42, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Theistic realism - page is made for basically a neologism that is mostly set up by Phillip E. Johnson to explain a theistic way of understanding intelligent design or creation science. The context of this is not clear, nor is the work particulary of high quality. Joshuaschroeder 06:11, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

September 4, 2005

• San Pedro Association - needs to be wikifyed and copy-edited. Uberlemur 05:29, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
• Billboard 200 - Records could use some proofing
• Kitty Pilgrim - Contains only one sentence which seems to have been lifted from here. - Mike Rosoft 20:15, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
• Fire Deuce - incorrectly names the band and needs to be wikifyed.

September 3, 2005

Did some cleanup. --Spinn 05:02, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

• X-Men needs to slimmed down with pedatric information moved to other pages Rorschach567 15:35, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Working class needs a bit of a re-write by a person who knows the subject well. 194.89.3.36 14:09, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Chaldeans needs to be correctly merged. --3345345335534 03:17, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

September 2, 2005

• Herb Grika needs to be wikified and copy-edited. 69.122.173.158 12:07, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Proposed VfD as vanity page. Tearlach 14:48, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

• Overeating (and related topics) could be expanded - see comments under "discussion".
• Al Campanis doesn't have a NPOV problem, per se, but is written in a very personal, nonwikified style. --Masterofzen 14:38, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
• Early childhood education needs to be totally reorganised. Megapixie 10:21, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
• Caterina Sforza needs to have information from newer edits fact-checked, cleaned up and incorporated into the article text. Sectioning the article is probably in order as well. --Goblin ^›talk 06:04, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
• History of lesbianism needs wikification, formatting, a lead section, and maybe a merge. -Sean Curtin 03:54, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Quizme! 24.67.253.203 02:36, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
• Ty Pennington - Looks like someone sneezed a bunch of factoids. Extreme Unction 03:13, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
• Cronulla Sharks - A whole lot of not that important information is written twice for no reason, while the organisation is horrible. DaGizza 04:11, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

September 1, 2005

• Punt (boat)#Punting technique is non-encyclopaedic in style in many places, and contains too much text in the second person. Main Page 16:12, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
• Pir Sohawa needs wikification, and needs to be expanded to explain significance. RSpeer 00:43, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Correllian Nativist Church, stubbish text dump Moriori 01:32, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Stefani Miglioranzi, Alan Reeves, Rhys Evans, Sean Hessey, Kevin Rapley, Stewart Drummond, Michael Branch, Ryan Lowe all soccer player bio-stubs (Chester or Ipswich) from the same anon ID. All need general cleanup, wikificiation & NPOVing - particularly from writer's obsession with Chester's 5-1 defeat by Wolves! Cje 07:22, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
• Czech Bluegrass - badly written, apparently by somebody not very skilled in the English language (presumedly, a Czech). A major part of the article deals with different topics than Czech bluegrass, but may be worth merging elsewhere. - Mike Rosoft 08:35, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
• High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program - Lots of sub-headings with no information, self-referencing, poor grammar/editing. (Though lots of good citing!) JD79 09:12, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
• Mr X ... Mike Rosoft 10:30, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

From Streets of Rage. Cleanup and merge? Tearlach 15:42, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Moved to Mr. X (Streets of Rage), redirected Mr X to disambiguation page. -Sean Curtin 04:00, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

• Manufacturing This page, and the category tags for Manufacturing and Technology, are not very well structured. It is difficult to navigate, and the structure is not clear. See the talk page for details and a link to a temporary page that would be a first step. Joe1011010 18:11, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

August 31, 2005

• Nick Altrock - needs a better table. Alr 23:37, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Malta International Airport - needs copyediting. Alr 23:16, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Oswald T. Allis - Needs copyediting and wikification. Alr 22:52, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Systat - Spam? Advert? Newbie user? I don't know, but it's a mess. Alr 21:25, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• San Pellegrino Is fairly hard to follow, also lacks a slight bit of information. Possibly add a timeline? Thanks, 18:23, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• ANZAC spirit had a VfD that gave many requests for cleaning here. -Splash 23:49, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Legends Weekend needs to be toned down a little. MK2 04:48, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Whitewater scandal and Paula Jones are very difficult to follow. They both need improvements in language, timelines, accuracy, NPOV and order. Kingturtle 07:30, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Aker Kvaerner is basically a press release. Should be worked into a decent article about one of the Sea Launch program partners. ericg ✈ 17:52, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Livio Catullo Stecchini has undergone a major edit, during which a large part of information was removed, and some potentially useful contents were added. The article needs to be sorted somehow. - Mike Rosoft 22:53, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Looks to me seriously like pseudoscience - in the hands of Ken Kitchen the sequence of blessings and curses in ancient contracts was eventually to become one of the most important dating tools of modern archaeology. Yeah, right. Tearlach 00:33, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

• The First Snows of 2002 needs to be fixed. (The author didn't seem to realize that this is an English encyclopedia.) - Mike Rosoft 23:40, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

August 30, 2005

• Gwen Torrence Needs cleanup. J. Van Meter
• Governor-General of Karafuto Appears to be a poor translation from another language (presumably Japanese, though I could not find its page on the Japanese wikipedia). I've started some clean-up, but there are a few places where my lack of knowledge on the subject prevents me from being sure what was intended Nik42 22:58, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Kyoto Protocol - Needs editing and ordering in some sections. Also, mostly written from a Western perspective. (Teryx 22:40, 30 August 2005 (UTC))
• Slinky seismology - Written from a personal perspective (a lot of "I" statements). Needs to be depersonalized. Epolk 18:06, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
  • Tidied-up and de-personalised. Lukew1001 02:15, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
• Noel Edmonds - Needs ordering of paragraphs and sections. Also some problems with POV statements --Vincej 12:50, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• 24 Hours of Le Mans - Lengthy and non-flowing, History section needs moving to separate article and duplications about crashes fixed. 210.49.61.125 14:23, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
• Brothers of the Yellow Sign I replaced the previous contents of this article ("Maybe this is ....") with a one-sentence, but safe, summary that this is from H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. Not an area I know about and I got very lost trying to ferret out information from Cthulhu related websites. Surely someone else can do better. Cje 12:11, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• The Groundhog Day movie's final section needs to be rewritten to not be so grammatically akward.
  • I took a look at this and tidied it up. Jezze 20:59, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Chris MacKenzie - An extremely badly written article about a football player, apparently by the player's fan. - Mike Rosoft 21:49, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I've tidied up and made this a more standard footybio-stub. I fear that the same anonymous Chester City F.C. fan has written other Chester player profiles in the same style and has added to other articles. I just removed "GO ON CHESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha 4-0" from Lewis Price the Ipswich Town goalkeeper. Cje 06:53, 1 September 2005 (UTC))
  • See list of stubs above in September 1 entry Cje 07:26, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
• Nawaf Al Temyat - Provides no information. Apparently a football player from Saudi Arabia. - Mike Rosoft 21:52, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

August 29, 2005

• carbon-carbon bond
• The Impossible Voyage - stubby dump, maybe from film mag. 03:10, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

August 28, 2005

• Mirsky's Worst of the Web - not personally familiar with the site, but going by Google PR this might not just be a vanity article. I could be wrong regarding it's notability, though. Barneyboo 22:13, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

When I first logged on to the Internet back in 1995, "Mirsky's Worst of the Web" was a featured link from the Netscape homepage. I remember visiting it, though I don't recall much else about it. Extreme Unction 01:40, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

• Fly catcher - Needs to be re-written so it sounds like an encyclopedia and not a school paper. Razor X 20:14, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• electron shell - awkward prose.
• Alfrēds Riekstiņš — bad formatting and strong POV. —Seselwa 22:54, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Ceremonial deism redirects to personal rantpages, ceremonialdeism.org .com .us (all from same Yahoo author it appears). But a valid entry is needed for this term. 209.161.170.91 (talk · contribs)

Cleaned up now - but needs categories and sources by someone who knows about these things. Tearlach 16:19, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

August 27, 2005

• Weimar -- the missing coat of arms makes an unsightly hole at the top of the page... -- PFHLai 01:53, 2005 August 28 (UTC)

• Leo Strauss I did some grammar and prose cleanup, but the whole thing is written in a very stilted style and would need some more focus and research.

• Irish_people - Everything's in the wrong place and the whole thing is just confusing.

• Aura (paranormal) needs a bit of cleanup. I split it off from an omnibus Aura article that covered four topics at once, and so it wasn't seperated into different sections very well. Probably simply adding a few headings would work. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 20:58, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

• Golden Sun needs general cleanup. Maybe it ought to be split in two - one for each game? Masken 13:19, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

• Masashi Tashiro needs general cleanup and grammar improvement, maybe a little more research. Damn interesting, though. ZacharyS 04:13, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

• Coffee Achievers - only one long paragraph, built of short sentences. And looks a bit POV to me. --Fibonacci 05:43, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

• Pierre Cherbit Three sentences. May have been translated from French. Unsure as to the meaning of the second sentence. May also be non-notable. CambridgeBayWeather 09:08, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

August 26, 2005

• Nyquist plot Needs general editing from a knowledgable source. Currently four or five strung out sentances. Flehmen ^{Work with me} 18:24, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• The Edge Chronicles Twig Saga needs cleaning up.
• Allan_Kaprow needs cleanup and reorganization. - Milk 03:00, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

August 25, 2005

• Traction current Very confusing, mainly due to grammar. Knowledge of the topic is probably needed to word the article properly. I have trouble understanding the topic itself as well as the details as laid out for different systems used in different countries. Sfisher 07:31, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

It gets even more confusing, due to the overlap with Traction power network and Traction current line. Needs some rationalization across the three articles. Tearlach 21:03, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

• Although DC systems are mentioned in the opening text, nothing is said about them in the main body of the article. Mjroots 1900, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Donny Schmit needs wikifying, expansion, and appears to be non-neutral in spots. Al 12:51, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Red Hot Catholic Love The plot synopsis needs to be cleaned up to sound less choppy and use better language. Although South Park uses profanity; it shouldn't be used in a synopsis unless quoting the show. Phantom784 16:29, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

August 24, 2005

• Rococo Not very useful. Meandering, disorganized, and very vague. Writing needs to be worked over completly, and I suspect we may need new info too. I tagged it for cleanup, almost tagged as "cleanup-rewrite" instead but I'm new here. Lampros 04:12, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

• Shaitan was found on peer review. It seems a little confused about what it's covering, at least judging by comments in the article: I think this should refer to the islamic entity of Shaitan, as Iblis does not correspond to Satan and probably partly due to that it's language is extremely unclear. It also is seriously lacking sources. I rewrote the introduction, but then got scared that I don't have a sufficient clue to continue. Mozzerati 20:50, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

• Samovar Have worked to remove various first-person fluffery, but the bottom section on electric samovars is beyond me as I don't know anything about electricity. This should be simple for anybody more mechanically inclined. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 03:59, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Also needs cleanup for tone (a bunch of editors seem to think the original Russian comic style is appropriate). Tearlach 14:20, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

• John Bigelow The bottom section was added by anonymous user 142.32.208.233 and reads like a potential vanity addition to a legitimate entry. This 2nd Bigelow, described as "Chief Pilot for Pan Am" and developer of "the Bigelow Manoeuvre" (the only references I could find to this on Google were citations of this Wikipedia entry), sounds dubious. Can anyone else either verify or (if bogus) cleanup? Thanks.-MollyTheCat 03:17, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

A special thanks to Awyllie for cleaning this up, and to Tearlach for the research provided on the Talk:John Bigelow page. -MollyTheCat 03:51, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

• Yamasee – Needs wikification. Written in first-person. Seems non-NPOV. Al 18:25, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

Copyvio - it's previously been deleted at last once for that reason. Tearlach 19:26, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

• Freedom of the Seas (ship) - Needs wikification and NPOV work. Currently reads like a press release. --Kurt Shaped Box 20:44, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

• Battle of the Medina There is a clear one line description in Timeline of the Texas Revolution "1813 – Tejano independence revolt in San Antonio is crushed by Spanish forces at the Battle of the Medina". The article itself is an unwikified mixture of events, before, during and after the battle. I gave up trying to wikify because I couldn't find the other articles to link to. Needs help from someone with a knowledge of Texan history. --Cje 21:40, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

August 23, 2005

• Expo 86 The lower sections were added by an anon and read like a copyvio, plus, Wikipedia is generally not a depository of statistics. Alr 22:23, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Cat scratch fever Mostly written in first person with anecdotal information. Practically useless as a reference source. Format must be changed and facts neutrally presented. scazza 20:44, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Punjab Cricket Association Stadium Needs to be re-written. It reads like an obscure cricket magazine. Should be general audience-oriented. --Fang Aili 19:16, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• It's A Wonderful Life. Plot summary laconic.
• Fiddler on the Roof - William Shatner at his best. See Talk:Fiddler on the Roof for more. IvanP 17:47, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Monstrous Regiment (novel) - If you compare this to other articles on the Discworld books, it's completely different. The other articles keep it brief, while this article details every little plot occurance. In short, it needs to be summarised. Plus, it's pretty hard to follow and has a number of grammatical errors. --Vanguard 17:35, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Invisalign - last few sentences are biased against the method and orthodonists. --HouseHippie
• Bullet proof hosting - Article is written in the second person. Also needs wikifying. --Kurt Shaped Box 21:47, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

August 22, 2005

• Lawrence Kudlow - Go read it. It has no substance, no fluency. 2004-12-29T22:45Z 23:16, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
• Hwa-Byung and Hwa-byung - two problematic articles on the same subject. TheMadBaron 12:37, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Full Belly Project could possibly be interesting, but is clearly written by the organisation itself (including references to 'our' and 'us') JoanneB 12:25, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Gurdwara Nanak Mata Sahib – Poor English, seems to run between a description of a place and local legends, needs wikification. Al 15:58, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

August 21, 2005

• General José de San Martín, Argentina - looks like it was badly-translated from Spanish. Zoe 06:29, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
• Elizabeth Allen (American actress) Conform ld 'graph to WP:MoS bio specs; - PoV (or evidence at least on talk if it's verifiable).Jerzy•t
• Upadana needs some work. It appears structured like a dab page, but it doesn't seem to be one. I removed a number of self-targeting redirects, but I don't know enough about Buddhism to make other improvements. -Acjelen 16:34, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
• Salvation Army - previously a very neat and useful article is now over-run with statistics and dates in the last 1/3 of the article which appear to have been text-dumped into place. --ABQCat 23:05, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

August 20, 2005

• Pontivy - I can't figure out the pictures. I released two pictures under commons, and its all a bit pear-shaped --Wonderfool t(c) 15:35, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

• I've got it, just have to save the edit... — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 15:42, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

• Myvanwy Ella Penny – I have no idea what's going on here. Looks like it might just be a machine code translation of the article on de. Sarge Baldy 07:59, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Could someone fix the images?

• Tessa Allen: one of the few born-1996 articles i wouldn't VfD, but still the tone is what you'd expect of a WP article containing an excl pt.Jerzy•t
• Silverstein Committee - lots of technical meat in this description of the commission that mapped out the Saturn program. But it needs wikification, and its difficult to "tell the wood from the trees". --Cje 18:32, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Cleaned up by User:Maury Markowitz Cje 14:33, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
• Logic families: needs some general rewriting, especially background info and streamlining. I've done a little of the work but the article needs attention from someone with more familiarity with the subject than me. --24.118.220.84 19:38, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

August 19, 2005

• Freedom Institute - has copyedit and possible POV issues. AlbertR 21:14, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Fox
• Boolean algebra is an article that is extremely difficult to understand for a beginner. --StevenL 02:18, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• For Love or Money - the part of the article about the movie seems to be of the synopses of the movie than about the movie itself.Nanami Kamimura 09:23, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Shan Hasan is very short, poorly written, and can't make up its mind whether its a biography or about one of several magazines. (Silverhelm 17:43, 19 August 2005 (UTC))
• Faridi's Unofficial Aide - Al 19:19, 19 August 2005 (UTC). This and the whole hierarchy of sub-articles for these characters in Ibn-e-Safi's Jasoosi Dunya and Imran Series need copyedit for the English and the fannish tone - and the titles rationalising, probably to "List of..." format. Tearlach 17:13, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Sig 202 is a confused, but short, article, that alleges non existence of a particular gun from the manufacturer SIGARMS. Was first tagged in June but not (I think) ever listed here. Needs clean up from someone with a knowledge of guns? --Cje 07:03, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

I've tidied up, and popped it into the right cats. Still needs some cleanup, however. Megapixie 07:12, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

August 18, 2005

• Tommy the Cat-Poorly written article, very disorganized.
• Bathos - Badly written English. Full of mistakes. Hard to follow in many places. --huwr 10:46, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Blondie (album), Plastic Letters, Eat to the Beat, Autoamerican, The Hunter, The Curse Of Blondie. These articles on Blondie (band) albums have obviously been written by a fan and need a lot of tidying and NPOV work. I'm not a big enough Blondie fan to do justice to the articles - anyone fancy having a shot? --Kurt Shaped Box 08:13, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• History of Minnesota - No lead, just starts off talking about Minnesota billions of years ago! violet/riga (t) 10:24, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• May Day is an article about different holidays celebrated on the same day: May 1. Labour Day is an article about the same or similar holidays celebrated on different days (though mostly May 1). May Day could use general tidying and good use of the main article tag. Labour Day should probably be split into three: the May 1 observances, American Labor Day, and Canadian Labour Day. -Acjelen 17:01, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I created a separate article for the U.S. holiday: Labor Day (United States), but there is still considerable overlap and ambiguity in both Labour Day and May Day. -Acjelen 23:20, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
• Japan's car industry - Needs wikifying and some touching up on the grammar - (Erebus555 18:09, 18 August 2005 (UTC))

August 17, 2005

• Band camp. I stumbled upon this in the list of articles that needed to be wikified. It was also orphaned and short. I added a few links to it and sort of cleaned it up. Can someone help me here? — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 23:13, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

• Andrés Galarraga - It appears that this article takes the wrong tone for an encyclopaedic article, may violate NPV, contains virtually innumerable grammatical errors, may contain too much information for an article on any baseballer who hasn't been inducted to the Hall of Fame, and represents pronunciation by comparison to English syllabic construct rather than proper use of the IPA in the initial pronunciation information on the subject's name. Chrysicat 13:59, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
• Robust_Nuclear_Earth_Penetrator - Grammatically poor, POV style. --81.77.241.106 06:58, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
• Neurodermatitis - Barely a stub. First sentences taken verbatim from http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/aha/umskin18.htm --Al 14:45, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
• Sodium dithionite, Sodium dithionate - Substubs - only contain a chemical reaction. (An encyclopedia article about a compound should contain more than just a formula for a reaction which produces it.) - Mike Rosoft 16:36, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delta Tau Delta - Not awful, but there is a certain amount of first-person material ("we" and "our", which makes me suspect that there may be some POV as well) and a lot of the history is written in the present tense. -Aranel ("Sarah") 21:12, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
• Society of Intitiates Completely unwikified and, as noted on the talk page "Needs more about what it is and less about what it is not." Needs real help from someone with a knowledge of Martinism. Is there anything in French Wikipedia that might help us? --Cje 22:00, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

• Palindromes (movie) - a movie review. Zoe 06:27, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Removed the review and replaced it with NPOV content, now it needs attention. MessedRocker 18:44, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Leap year starting on Monday and the other Common/Leap year starting on (weekday) articles need to be standardized. The most glaring problem is that the linked article uses a very different calendar format from the others, but there are other inconsistencies concerning text displayed at the top of the page, use of borders, text near the links to the other pages, etc. - FunnyMan 15:08, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
• World's tallest structures used to delineate between the clear record holders before the mid 20th century, and the muddle that comes after, as the first paragraph states. However, a user has now renamed the table referenced in the first sentence of the article (breaking the link) and added data to it past the clear dividing line. The information may be useful somewhere on the page so I hate to simply revert it, but sorry I do not have time to move everything around. --Pascal666 02:35, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
• Jedi Civil War is way too detailed and needs to be checked for NPOV and encyclopedic tone in addition to being pared down. Great job for an objective Star Wars fan. Fernando Rizo T/C 04:19, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

• Kakazai. We need to settle on one title and maintain it throughout the article. The article needs to be wikified, and the external links pruned vigorously. Zoe 03:36, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Iris Stromal Patterns - a bit of banned user Irismeister's iridology detritus; I can't figure out if it's salvageable or VfD material. — Catherine\^talk 01:16, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
• Peugeot 305 - disorganised, a bit POV, problems with style, etc. --Adolar von Csobánka (Talk) 01:03, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
• Jewish history in Colonial America has a lot of information, but no organization or structure. There's a great deal of information on the 19th century will need to be merged somewhere else. Apparantly the title is also problematical. -Acjelen 06:01, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
• Fort Necessity National Battlefield needs more information on history, etc. Maybe better off listed in collaboration.--MONGO 07:54, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Wilson Kipketer - disorganised, needs cleaned up and organized into categories. Lots on information though.
• Chris Grant - Someone with a better knowledge of Australian rules football than I needs to pick through this one. Needs wikifying and NPOV overhaul as well. Fernando Rizo T/C 02:29, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

• Grand Slam bomb and Tallboy bomb have duplicated content. Merge? TheMadBaron 10:59, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

• Possum Lodge - A lot of text needs to be moved to The Red Green Show, and there may be some other stuff to fix there. ScottyWZ 03:58, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Natasha Henstridge - ugly formatting, recently enhanced by a slug of probable copyright violations. Sarge Baldy 03:15, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

• Tried to clear one paragraph but it looks to me as though a major POV problem and a copyvio problem, as you point out, may mean a major rewrite or a serious deletion of images and unnecessary text. dok 08:51, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

• Bielefeld Awkward grammar and some badly translated German words. wellsoberlin 03:14, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Stalwart_Women Includes a list of articles which all require cleanup or deletion. IMO the individual biographies would best be served by a single page. TheMadBaron 09:51, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. Slashed and burned.... TheMadBaron 09:04, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

• Astral projection needs a complete rewrite. Much is NPOV, and there's another site quoted verbatim for an entire section. Ceejayoz 21:38, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
• Cleaned up astral projection some. Brina700 04:05, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

• World's Writing Systems, The needs Wikified and may even be considered for deletion if it is just an ad. Keresaspa 15:22, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

• We'll start with the fact that it needs to be moved to The World's Writing Systems and then Vfd. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 16:02, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

• Japanese strategic planning for the Pacific (1905-1940) needs heavy duty cleanup. bluemask (talk) 12:27, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

I think a revert will solve most of the problems. Have a look at Talk:Japanese strategic planning for the Pacific (1905-1940) for more details. Megapixie 05:48, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

• Topiltzin Ce Acatl Quetzalcoatl - Reads like a poorly-written junior-high research paper; changes tense constantly, among other errors. I've done a bit, but I'll never be able to catch everything. Kurt Weber 14:45, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

• Template:Consonants - mess of CSS and tables that should be stacked vertically, not horizontally, as it currently requires a wide display.
• Huntley & Palmers needs copyediting, wikification, possibly factchecking, etc. Aecis 22:18, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• John_G._Bennett was obviously lifted from this article - very POV and not encylopedic. I've edited quite extensively, but there's still a lot of work to do. TheMadBaron 21:29, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Any interested person who wishes to tidy up and add information to some recently added English towns much appriciated - Salwick and Grimsargh in need of help. Please inform me if these requests could go elsewhere. dok 19:05, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

• Central Line The section on the Heritage Railway needs to be updated (as it has passed the implicit date)
• Finland's language strife needs formatting and grammar help. POV may have been an issue, but from the discussion page it's unclear if that has been fixed. Afiler 19:22, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

• Coma: The article needs the attention of docs. See Talk:Coma.
• Beat Richner: Format; tighten; make books into a bib; fmt & screen refs.Jerzy·t
• Charlemagne Palestine: research for this near-orphan stub (on lists in three articles including those who helped inspire, 30 yrs ago, an album lk'd only from its composer's article) w/"increased interest in his music" (uh, from unknown to virtually forgotten?); goal: at least hint at notability, or nom for VfD.Jerzy·t
• Institute on Religion and Democracy: this is written almost entirely from the POV of the organization itself, and mostly reads like an IRD propaganda leaflet. Severe POV problems: needs to be rewritten in NPOV style. Also, some of this looks like possible copyvio material, from the writing style, which is very similar to that of the IRD site. -- The Anome 11:45, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Konica Minolta: Needs sections, factual clean-up... bascially a complete workover. --J-Star 13:45, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
• Papua New Guinea: Extremly messy. Article does not flow, and many sections are smaller than others (or vice versa). Peer Review on this article says that it needs to be cleaned up. This article is in urgent need of it. --Newguineafan 19:54, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Red Cross, Red Crescent and International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. There should be 3 different articles and they shouldn't overlap.

• Spread spectrum. It's correct, but not particularly well organized or illuminating. It could use a going-over by someone familiar with the subject area.
• Template:Periodic_table. See discussion page.
• Auteur is simply rife with inaccuracies and presents a shrewd argument contrary in places to the definition given on the Auteur theory page.

Alice Artzt needs wikification, a rewrite, and expansion. I Googled her and this looks like a worthwhile article, but I don't have time to work on it. DavidConrad 07:59, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Haffkine needs a complete overhaul. Looks like someone just dumped an existing article here, but Googling key phrases turned up no hits. Should be moved to Mordecai Haffkine, but note that something links to it. DavidConrad 08:11, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

• Election (movie) - Needs cleanup, re-write and serious condensing. Courtkittie 03:16, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• Online journalism - Needs cleanup, separation of facts and some NPOV work. Details on the article's talk page. Oddtoddnm 07:51, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
• Teachers- Like Election, the page is sprawling, in need of serious grammar, spelling, and formatting corrections, condensation of plot summary, more information on the film, etc. At present, it reads like a bad fan summary rather than an encyclopedia entry. Aleal 16:11, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

• WFAN (AM) includes a substantial amount of material on WNBC which needs wikifying, while at the same time, the material includes some items which are already mentioned in previous edits. I think that there might be copyrighted material in the recent edit to include WNBC history, but I haven't found anything. I also suggest that the WNBC section should be made into a seperate article. ErikNY 13:15, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Omega-3 fatty acid is now a terrible mess. It has problems with NPOV, writing style, formatting, and an immense number of references at the end which are not referenced in the text. Major cleanup work is needed. -- Karada 23:55, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

• Wolfert Acker, Syboat Acker, Steven Acker, Abraham Acker, and Abraham Ecker (of which some are C-U tagged, but don't appear to have been listed here previously): all 5 arose from two editing sessions (20 minutes and 6 hours, respectively, within the same 16 hour period) by the same editor. They would be a cluster of orphans but for navigational pages and new lks from both The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (added by him then) and Washington Irving (added by an anon IP the day before). Each contains almost exclusively genealogical data, including apparent orig res. All but Wolfert are IMO clear cases for VfD, and unless research shows more evidence of his notability than is currently stated, i would vote for deletion en masse of the five (and the rdrs to them). --Jerzy·t 06:31, 2005 August 2 (UTC)
• Materia Medica Pura: It´s just a list
• Liberty Meadows & Frank Cho: Anyone heard of this, or done the Google testing? Is it Copy-vio? It sounds like the author's own promotional web page; should it be VfD'd, CP-ed, or scrubbed with a stiff encyclopedicity brush?Jerzy·t
  • I assure you that Liberty Meadows is a legit comic strip and Frank Cho is an actual illustrator. Both articles appear to be descriptive and encyclopedic rather than promotional. -Acjelen 23:03, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
