Story of the Year Needs rewrite so it makes sense. Is this an important band? I don't know anything about them. All the info on the page is vague. The band was formed 'somewhere' in the US and may have sold 'a 100 or a 200' records.

Team killer Real phenomenon, possibly worthy of an article, but this needs help.; +rewrote, expanded Mrwojo

Delilah somewhat disorganized?
Tallisia is this accurate, according to what source? - Google ain't never heard of her (unless she's Finnish, i.q.c. I can't read what the pages say), nor has Graves's Greek Myths. The Roman goddess of thieves was the much more prosaic sounding Laverna. To VfD (Smerdis of Tlön)

April 27

Buck or Two - needs edit for style from someone who knows this chain of stores + fixed style a bit, could still use more info Adam Bishop
Japanese numerals - this edit added a whole new column of readings for Japanese numerals - I'm suspicious because they also added 8080000 to the list, which is a nonsense page. sjorford - the hi/fu/mi/yo readings are fine, as in futatsu=twice, so perhaps no need for suspicion (format, though) Charles Matthews The guy was basically right - he just misunderstood the meaning of yaoyorozu, which I've fixed. No worries, mate. - Mustafaa
April 25
Pyrroloquinoline quinone - legitimate? Claims of "new vitamins" are always suspicious. - It's purportedly a vitamin in mice. No deficiency disease has been shown in humans, so it's certainly not a human vitamin.
