*Opacity (optics) - The whole last paragraph needs to be rewritten and rephrased. Alfvaen 05:51, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • World Communist Movement needs a complete rewrite. Please help. Regardless of the justifications user:Soman has attempted to submit so far-- and with all due respect, they seem pretty weak to me-- that does not detract from the fact that the article needs a complete rewrite. Most of it reads like a list, and even the parts that don't are scattered and often ambiguous. I've posted this page on as appropriate a Talk forum as I can find, to see if we can't enlist other people in this overhaul project. If the request belongs in a more specific forum than this one, please be a friend and move it there. 71.255.198.147 22:24, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ryan Zane (porn star) - Found this on Random article. Had a brief read. Instantly noticed, there are far too many images for such a small article (all but 1 should be deleted). Also, just have look at the actual text and you'll get why I think it needs cleanup (has a horrible tone, not even near encycolpedic standards) - RHeodt 17:05, 18 March 2006 (UTC) [reply]
    • I'm sure it was a Random article. Anyways, I think I got most of it. You're probably more familiar with articles on gay porn stars, so I'll let you have the final word. Miguel Cervantes 17:42, 18 March 2006 (UTC) (The following comment was made in jest, and should not be taken as fact. Except for the cleaning it part. I did do that.) [reply]
      • No I'm really not. That was the exact reason I didn't do the cleanup. I don't know what kind of stuff goes in those articles. I was really surprised to find there's a template, and because of that just thought "Ok, I'd never've guessed that this would be there, maybe this is what is normally put in those articles" (although I didn't consider it likely which is why I just put it on cleanup and didn't do anything myself, just in case). And about you're comment "in jest" just thought you'd like to know it should've read "(The preceeding comment was made in jest, and should not be taken as fact. Except for the cleaning it part. I did do that.)" just to let you know! - RHeodt 19:17, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Diablo hacks - Spelling, format, use oh headings, and lists. Its also not Diablo but Diablo 2 hacks and cheats.
This article is misnamed, as it applies to Diablo 2, rather than the original Diablo. Wouldn't it be better to merge this with the Diablo 2 article? Alternately, I'd argue that this possibly should be a candidate for deletion. There's no sourcing, and I'm not sure any of this is truely relevant to wikipedia. I've done some cleanup of the article to at least make it presentable, but someone else will have to do the merging or submitting for deletion. ---Lendorien 01:20, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Attempted cleanup. But I also think it should be merged with Diablo II or something. x42bn6 Talk 07:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Visual DialogScript - This is deeply NPOV in places: Take "It can be used to create small and fast programs. VDS has a large number of dialog and graphical elements available to create professional looking programs." or "VDS uses easy to remember commands and functions, which refer to English words." (emphasis mine). Sounds like advertising to me. I'd be tempted to AfD it, but maybe some of it's salvagable. ~ Irrel 19:01, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Taiwan independence: Article contains too many uncited claims. (Original comment reformatted/reworded. Atellus 00:45, 10 March 2006 (UTC) )[reply]
  • Chanel Cole - an utter mess. Extremely POV/fancrufty, and contains a blow-by-blow commentary of her odyssey through the Australian Idol series. Obsessively detailed. Contained 24 fair use images - when I contacted the uploader and explained it was too many, he/she deleted 2. When I tagged the remaining 22 images as "no source", removed my tags and added generic film screenshot tags. Rossrs 13:00, 11 March 2006 (UTC) [reply]
    • All right, looking into this one. Mass copyright infringement is always fun to clean up. Rob Church 18:40, 11 March 2006 (UTC) [reply]
      • Good grief theres alot of work to be done on that article. I have made a start but it was only the tip of the iceberg. Death Eater Dan (Muahaha) 21:43, 11 March 2006 (UTC) [reply]
        • I cut back the blow-by-blow rendition of the Australian Idol Season and moved the Introduction section into the actual introduction. I live in America, however, and hardly watch American Idol, so someone with knowledge of the subject should probably double-check everything.Miguel Cervantes 05:14, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Ok, I've done all I can to this article. I cut a bunch of the fluff and I think the POV is now neutral. I started from the original article, however, so what looks clean to me may still be dirty, as I am relating it to the original article. Someone needs to look at it and Do More/Remove the Tags. Miguel Cervantes 20:34, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Prasanth Nagar, not a very important article, but needs dividing into paragraphs, and editing for relevance. Rooneyot 23:11, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pope Clement VII needs a bit of tweaking - eg two dates for being made a cardinal. Jackiespeel 16:39, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've had a go at re-writing this article. I read a few articles about the subject, which I found online, to get a better understanding of the topic and blasted away ;-) I've cited these articles. I think it is a reasonable attempt, but I'd welcome comments as I am still fairly new. I'll strikethrough the text here, so as to avoid duplicating work. Thanks. Politepunk 19:46, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Somewhat done. Still needs improvement. Article looks better now, but it needs to be expanded, preferably by an expert on the subject. Atellus 03:56, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This article could use a partial rewrite, as wording seems to be a problem. Also, possibly copyrighted images were added to the article. Atellus 03:21, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know enough on the subject to clean it up, & I don't know what to do if its a copy vio. I don't even know if I'm meant to place this here!

The link from O levels to School Certificate and Higher School Certificate lead to the Australian exams, rather than the predecessor of the UK exams - and clicking on the reference in the Australian exams loops back.

  • The article on actor/singer Meat Loaf Aday needs a fairly simple once-over to remove some POV issues with portions of its word choice, adjectives, etc. It's an otherwise well okay article, it just currently read a little too much like someone who is awe of Meat Loaf wrote it --- Bobak 23:33, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Free running needs some major style reworking and if possible some more information from an expert. I'm not really sure which cleanup template to use or whether there is a better place to put this request (I'm somewhat new at this editing business). If anyone can advise me on how to deal with such articles better, please stick something in my User Talk page. Maelin 11:51, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The choice of templates in cases like this is always difficult, but here cleanup is probably right. However, freerunning is also known as Parkour for which there is a good article already. So the solution to this mess of an article is redirect it to Parkour, which is what I suggest be done (see my note on your talk page). Kcordina 11:58, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Kosovo contains a variety of discriminatory, derogatory and hateful paragraphs, added by anonymous vandals, who are trying to rewrite history by adding the inaccurate info, leaving no sources nor evidences to back up their verbal crusades against Christians in Kosovo. This article shouldn't exist as a such because it containts such an enormous level of hatred and propaganda, and it needs a serious cleanup by objective and non-political Wiki experts
  • Pope Benedict XIV contains a paragraph at the end which appears to be out of context (at best). Jackiespeel 19:31, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • John Bond (footballer) - Non-sentences; 12 Cats (is this a sign of Cats that should be deleted & replaced with lists?) of which 2 look redundant, but my ignorance or dysfunctional Cat ancestors left me unsure; twice uses "currently", which should be replaced by e.g. as of 2005 if the edit that added it was from 2005 (unless continuing into 2006 is verifible).Jerzy•t

  • Hourman Android needs cleanup. The article has many sections where information repeats multiply times, has some bad grammar, and sentences run-on.
  • Asia requires some cleanup. The "History" section has particuarly bad grammar, poorly organized and unclear sentences, etc. Huw 20:01, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Cleaned up History section, I need to stop procrastinating on homework so maybe I'll clean up the rest later. Being new to editing, I didn't know whether to put 1 or 2 spaces before the beginning of a new sentence (I put 1), but I'm sure there are better things to worry about...
It doesn't really matter - they get collapsed into one space anyway.  You can force a double space by making the first an   as I've done here.  I do it on my own websites, but I'm not sure that doing it on Wikipedia is a good idea on the whole. -- Smjg 13:51, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't the middle east be its own section/region? At least in American English I think if you start talking about Asia it does not usually include the middle east.

  • Jacob Neusner - I have been meaning to get to this article for a while. Lots of information that looks like it was copied from somewhere else and needs rewriting/wikifying. Copy of sample text "But systemic analysis and interpretation requires us to ask questions of history and comparison, not merely description of structure and cogency. So in this exercise Neusner undertakes first description, that is, the text, then analysis, that is, the context, and finally, interpretation, that is, the matrix, in which a system has its being." The honorifics are over the top.
In short, it's an essay, not an encyclopedia article. The 116k Jacob Neusner bibliography also looks like overkill. Tearlach 04:50, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bangalore — a pretty comprehensive article, just needs some grammar and structural cleanup. See Talk:Bangalore (To-do list) for details.
  • Robot - used to be a fairly focused article on a rather large topic, but lately wiki-entropy has taken over, and a vast amount of random and poorly worded sections have slipped in. Needs a thorough cleaning and tightening to the core of the topic, along with sources for the assertions made throughout.—LeFlyman 17:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Garry Shider(late '60s - ? musician) + dumped ad section for his manager & brutally cop-ed'd lead section. - still keeps calling him the author's buddy Garry, & needs attention from music-savvy editor who realizes that the Golden Age of Rock is not the late 1960s, but rather 14 or 15.Jerzy•t
  • UGOPlayer This article is filled with POV and unencyclopedic content. Attempts to remove them have been met by reverts, and attempts to communicate with those people have so far been fruitless. I'd nominate the entire article for deletion, but I think some stuff should be kept (someone let me know if there's some better place to list this for some outside attention).

It was a copyvio from [4]. I've reverted to pre-copyvio version, which still needs attention. Tearlach 13:20, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Eddie Perez (politician)(Harford CT mayor & ghetto success story): i killed a lot hagiographic & metaphorical language, but still should be checked for copyvios from 1 of its ext-rfs, the fairly gonzo-journalistic H. Advocate. Also, i did no checking to see whether (adequately sourced or not) the article may have been better before the 69.... IP(s) began editing (and getting rv'd by registered ed'rs).Jerzy•t
  • GTA-SanAndreas.com. Seems to meet WP:WEB, but except for a nascent controversy with Jack Thompson most of the article is about the happenings of the forum and its various in-jokes and drama. Wrathchild 18:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Trinity Blood Canon - Large amount of content with inconsistent formatting and stylistic issues (the article reads as though it were partially or entirely copied and pasted from an online forum, complete with sidenotes within the article to those reading it requesting clarification).
  • Guiding Light - Too much point of view and awful grammar (way, too, many, commas!)
  • Executive Order 12711 - Excerpt from 1990 executive order regarding Chinese nationals, completely lacking context. Saint Midge 03:30, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
This should be deleted. It is simply an excerpt from a 1990 U.S. government document (executive order), posted by an anonymous user, probably copied from here: [6]John Broughton 23:01, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Homer Simpson - Much like its subject, this article needs to lose some dead weight and get in shape. A loose collection of trivia with very little organizing principle. Inconsistent style. Is the quotes section necessary?

Cleaned up references, made footnotes, sectionned, some grammar. Really needs an expert, not cleanup. - FrancisTyers 01:14, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I copyedited this somewhat, but it still needs a bit more work. Perhaps someone more familiar with the subject could organize it into subheadings? Molimo 23:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • William Russell, Lord Russell - it's from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, so if I was to suggest that it was just bad writing, that would probably make me a philistine. Well, then, I'm a philistine....
    In January 1680, Russell, along with Cavendish, Capell, Powell, Essex and Lyttleton, tendered his resignation to the king, which was received by Charles with all my heart.
    Some of the references have become obscure over time, and some of the language is a little archaic, but more than this, I think this was just bad writing in 1911, and it's just bad writing now. TheMadBaron 09:48, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've done some fixing; more is needed. Besides the archaic language, the original article assumed a fairly intimate knowledge of English politics (e.g., mentioning "the country party" without any further explanation). But Russell was an important politician, so the article is clearly needed (and should not be shortened much more, I think). John Broughton 21:41, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
