Tourism in Egypt - why does this redirect to Luxor ? There are many tourist hotspots in Egypt that are outside Luxor, right ?

The entire content of the tourism in Egypt article was about Luxor, so the article was merged and turned into a redirect. I've moved TiE to tourism in Luxor to keep the page history, and turned TiE into a redirect to Egypt. Of course, there ought to be a page on tourism in Egypt... -Sean Curtin 07:24, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Asylum Street Spankers - I love this band. They play on the Bob and Tom radio show syndicated to most of the country. But this article is very POV. Can someone make it NPOV? Mike H 00:50, Jul 10, 2004 (UTC)

Duchsustus - needs wikification & clarification by someone familiar with Talmud?

previously listed here on May25th, but the {{msg:cleanup}} tag was removed without any cleanup or wikifying done ... i'll put back the {{cleanup}} tag now

Sonic Underground - unwikied, rambling kiddie-wiki

This needs to be deleted and rewritten. Much of the information here is incorrect; character names spelled wrong ("Manik" ->Manic), series first aired in 1999. Rhymeless 23:47, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Sanctus real substub about a Christian rock band, needs cleanup or speedy delete Spectatrix + Formatted, wikified, etc - still lacking in content Silverfish

Expected gain might be an actual term, but this is not the article for it. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]]

(William M. Connolley 19:23, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)) Cleaned up into stub; notice removed.

Southern vowel shift has serious accuracy issues. Jamincan

At best, it seems to one person's opinionn Giano 17:55, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Original research, I'd say. The Australian treatment of ash from /ae/ to /e/ (and the British push from /ae/ to /a/) is much easier to explain with immigration patterns than with any vowel shift. Seems like nonsense to me. Geogre 20:06, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

As a second language English speaker, I think this is tripe too. How does one VfD it Giano 21:15, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

tulpa - NPOV, wikify -Sean Curtin

Meizhou wikify, grammar, paragraphing, NPOV.

Wikied and tidied up a little, but still reads as if written by the local tourist board Giano 09:47, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

God of the gaps speedy deletion? What is this? - I don't want to speak with too much authority, but this is, to my knowledge, a very minor usage at present. There are better terms for the concept, and I think this has a journalistic/popularizer origin and hasn't taken root. Not speedy, but not overly valuable. Geogre

July 8

Climatologist, Climatology - Sounds similar, and should be merged, but the author will not let me redirect from Climatologist to Climatology. Both articles are stubs. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]]

Moved Climatologist to list of climatologists, linked to it from Climatology, and deleted the duplicated information in climatology. The alleged "author" can deal with it, or not. Getting stroppy about having your pages cleaned up is rude. --Robert Merkel 03:55, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The page was created less than 24 hours ago. (See [1].) Should we give the original author more time to put in the content before redirecting ? Information on how to get trained and licensed to become a Climatologist may not fit the Climatology page that well, but good for the Climatologist page. Both pages need major expansion, anyway. -- PFHLai 04:16, 2004 Jul 9 (UTC)

(William M. Connolley 08:34, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)) Thanks for that last. List_of_climatologists that RM created was pointless: there is a category for that. I've moved Climatologist back. What is this 'alleged "author"' rubbish?

I agree, there are articles for Physicist, Chemist, etc. No reason not to have Climatologist. Rhobite 16:39, Jul 9, 2004 (UTC)

Physicist is a stub that could be replaced by a two-sentence entry in physics. Chemist is an even smaller stub that is basically a disambiguation page for two dicdefs. -Sean Curtin 23:04, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Nagarjuna template problem. I am listing this here as well as Wikipedia talk:Template messages

Folding bicycle - wikify, etc. Dunc_Harris|☺

Burne Hogarth - needs more wikification. Original (see the page's history) also had a strange copyright notice at the bottom ("&copy 2004 Kyle Ryan"), but I assume that was just the name of the anon editor who created it — I haven't found the text anywhere else on the Internet. Lupo + Added a fair number of links (Smerdis of Tlön)

Perperuna - no complete sentences, many impenetrable abbreviations -Sean Curtin

history of parapsychology - needs NPOV & wikification -Sean Curtin

Net flux - not wikified

• Now wikified - I think this should be included in the article "membrane" - MGM

July 7

Vampire lifestyle - survived VfD, consensus among those voting "keep" was to send to cleanup. How it can be cleaned up, or if it's possible, is beyond me. -Sean Curtin

Good News: 'feeding from an unwilling donor is a breach of ethics'. Does Wiki - really need this rubbish? 81.135.121.49 15:39, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It was a very contentious VfD debate. I think the consensus, such as it was, among the "keep"ers was that some stripping and huge clarifying that this is a fantasy/belief/cult/make believe thing is ok. Not sure, but it was just barely a keep by my count. I think people wanted outside references added, too. Good luck to all you brave souls who undertake it. Geogre 17:37, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It would be a waste of anybody's time doing anything to this, only one place for it, and it's not on Wikipedia Giano 21:23, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I'm pretty saure that several of the people who voted "Keep" a) never looked at the article and b) never looked at the section of vampire that makes this article redundant. If this page is still on cleanup by September it should be placed back on VfD. -Sean Curtin 22:26, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Government of Ashmore and Cartier Islands - needs wikified

Your mom--article on the type of joke. Needs more examples to fill out list. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]]

Dave Abbruzzese - minimal stub

Hayato Kobayashi and Fraw Bow - huh?

No Limit Records - substub

Art rock Devolves into incoherent jottings; dubious claims here, too.

• Did a little cleanup. Marlowe 15:48, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

A Change of Seasons Album. format, and by whom? Dunc_Harris|☺ + by Dream Theater, have added context

Beatification - miles and miles of stuff from The Catholic Encyclopaedia of 1914 which went through hardly any edits. Needs trimming, resizing and transformation into a Wikipedia article.

Working on it now. I've been knocking the dust off those 19th c. sentences & wikifying as I go, but it's a tough slog. Geogre 13:17, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Afro-Brazilian - unwikied. blankfaze | ••••

Binder clip - unwikied, kind-of silly. - blankfaze | ••••

• Delete as nonsense. Guanaco

Temperate and Temperate climate. - Confusing stubs. Could be merged? Krik

Carlos Lacerda - unwikied stub, not well written. blankfaze | ••••

The Giraffes Very poorly written to the point that it is almost nonsensical.

Cracker Barrel US restaurant chain. Dunc_Harris|☺ - Apparently that name seems more to be associated with a brand of cheddar cheese. Peter O. (Talk)]] - I'm not so sure the cheese is more well known. There have been some rather public lawsuits filed against Cracker Barrel restaurants for their "conservative" hiring practices. RickK + stub msg (sub-stub); C.B. Cheese is Kraft TM; main-article dab entry being added. Jerzy(t) + major cop ed & new info (see summary in history) but still IMO stubby; esp'ly needs more than my watered down 2-sentence summary of racism controversy. (Boycott? Explicit deal cut w/ critics?) Jerzy(t)

Taurus bass pedal synthesizer - looks like a cut-and-paste, but I can't find it. Obviously incomplete, no wikis, POV comment at the end. Similar article from same user deleted as nonsense. - And no article on Moog Music either.

It would be nice if there were an article on Moog that covered the man, then one on the company that could cover their various enterprises, which includes a list of bass synths. A solo, nonsense, article on one pedal doesn't seem like a good clean job. Geogre 20:27, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Jacques Vergès - strange italicized intro: This page contains many assertions as to the intentions or the agenda of Jacques Vergès.

Al Muhsin - wikify, what is (SAS)?

The Elephant Sanctuary - orphan w/o context. Lupo + Cleaned up. made stub. de-orphaned, but still very lonely Giano

La Polla Records - fan article about a Spanish band. Mentions something about "repression from the Spanish government", but doesn't explain it any further. Lupo

Actualism - real or prank? Fact check, wikify. Lupo + Real. Someone trained in analytic philosophy cld do more with it than I did, but cleaned. Geogre - Definitely an important metaphysical topic, although there is some crossover from modal logic and possible worlds. + I cleaned it up some more, I might do more after I read my old paper about it, but I only took one course in metaphysics. The demiurge

Robot rock - dicdef wannabe. Merge into Queens of the Stone Age and delete. Lupo

Dishwashing - this just seems rather silly. I think it might have potential, but right now it's a tongue-in-cheek how-to and some made-up acronyms, along with congenial advice to the would-be dishwasher. SSherris

Kingdom of Israel - the names of the Kings are written in Hebrew, and then transliterated with Hebrew transliterations instead of using the English language versions. This is the English Wikipedia.

• The Transliterations are not at all 'instead of' the English. The English is still clearly there. The Hebrew Text and transliterations are an enhancement of the article. It makes the difference between the Wikipedia and just-another-encyclopaedia. --JohnArmagh

Henry I of Hesse and Otto I of Hesse - unformatted & unwikified genealogical data with no context.

UP 737 - Some public domain information about a train pulled near-verbatim from a website. Unwikified. grendel|khan

High Fidelity Magazine - unwikified stub

Accrued interest - signed, unwikified essay

Relative motion theory - signed, unwikified essay

PrevailingWinds - should be moved to Prevailing winds first of all, then someone should change it to sound like an encyclopedia article rather than a story someone's telling you. + User:24.43.66.150 is writing a few of these articles. + I did the move and wikified it; I think I've moved and copyedited most of these, but they still could do with rewrites. Ambivalenthysteria

Scientific enterprise - formatting is all over the map, article repeats a lot from, say, scientific method, and reads more like an incoherent rant than an encyclopedia article. Needs editing, needs formatting, needs coherence, above all. There's some interesting stuff here but it's VERY hard to make any sense of, what with the majority of it being small sentences, strangely indented, and without much connection to one another (and lots and LOTS of re-definitioning which can be accomplished better by adding wiki links). --Fastfission

Politechnika Gdanska - unwikied, substub blankfaze || ••

AYSF - substub, might even be deletable as uniformative. blankfaze || ••

A Big Hunk o' Love - stubness. unwikied. blankfaze || •• - Should be A Big hunk o' love (song), if kept. Geogre - No, it shouldn't. No need to disambig with (song) unless there is another article with the same title, and the capitalization is correct. RickK

Hound Dog - needs work - In fact, all of the work by User:66.119.34.39 - If it's to be kept and cleaned, it ought to be moved to Hound dog (song), same for all the other Elvis songs on this list. There are canines called hounds, after all. Geogre - No, the dogs would be at Hound dog, although Hound is better. The article title is perfectly fine. RickK

Beats, Rhymes and Life, tracklisting, but who was it by?

Oxegen - music festival. POV edit+ more info. Looks like copyvio of advert, but I can't find it. Dunc_Harris|☺

Apocrypha Discordia - don't know why this was deleted from here, needs much work. - It's a joke, pure and simple. What's to clean???

Constantia Jones and Fumoto no iro - seem to be jokes, or just vandalism - would watch User:160.39.232.187, User talk:160.39.232.187 contribs Andrevan - On Constantia Jones, it's really suspicious, but who can prove that such a thing didn't happen? It is very unlikely, given what I know of the trade and punishments. Minor thieves were not hung, and prostitutes certainly weren't. Women were rarely hung. Did some cheap book on sex mention this as an aside and inspire our author? I don't know, but it's very suspect. Geogre

Christian views of women - one great big mess of non-NPOV material, quotes Biblical phrases but doesn't look at context, has many weasel terms and could really do with better balance and factual accuracy (one Biblical verse quoted, Judges 5:30, appears to be commenting on Israelite behaviour, yet the verse clearly refers to the Canaanites). I listed it on VfD, but people want to keep so I figure that I'd better list it here! - Ta bu shi da yu

Bemdji State University - Due to a spelling error on my part when searching for the real article, I created this one, thinking I was going to do something great. Guess not. + Supposedly what i did was to merge it with Bemidji State University by deleting, redirecting, and undeleting.

Smoky Mountain Wrestling: wikify (don't worry, it's short)

Michael Johns - new 22:54, 2004 Mar 28; 135 edits, nearly all by 8 IPs that fall into probably 1 or 2 (or, barely conceivably, 4) related groups; the rest, except 1 by User:Editor (with 3 edits total), are by familiar reg'd users. The article has been placed on WP:CU 5 times (and tagged 6 times), and spent a total of about 14 hours there, on May 30-31 and June 9-11. With one exception (where a reg'd user who removing the tag now thinks they made a mistake), Cleanup tag and listing have been taken off by one of these IPs, User:Editor, or (his only edit) User:RobM., claiming when challenged that all the problems have been fixed. Since the first placement on CU, the result has been these changes. My initial concerns were imprecision and some obvious PoV liberties. At this point, i think the pattern of protecting the article from review indicates the need for close scrutiny by a political-science specialist with a track record of NPoV work on WP, on the theory that an "asset" being so heavily "defended" is likely to have PoV too subtle for my inspection (which has, in fact, been quite cursory).

Fire breather I discovered that this page was redundant only after I created it (see Fire breathing).

Shoot! I kind of wish it weren't a redirect, since, according to Shelby Foote, "fire breather" is a term in use in the US Civil War to refer to the secessionist politicians before the war. The term is also generally used for ranters, too. Don't know if these usages are worth an article, esp. since it would be historical dictdef, but it's worth thinking about.

Kohl's - verify, need social significance otherwise VFD it. - The article is awful, but major department store chains get entries, and this is a major US chain. I certainly wouldn't miss either the article or the store, but it does seem more of a CU than a VFD or SD candidate. However the article should exist at Kohl's Department Store, and Kohl's should be a redirect to it. (Sorry for being wordy.) Geogre - I see no reason why it shouldn't exist at Kohl's. Dunc_Harris|☺ - My argument is more about ignorance. I don't know if there are other "Kohl's" things out there, like "Kohl's Third Equation" or "Kohl's Star." I felt that the store entry, if one is to exist, ought to be as precisely named as possible to avoid future problems. (E.g. my objection to "Lakeside School," below: there are dozens of schools by the name, and "Lakeside School, Oregon" would solve the problem.) Geogre - In which case link to (Kohl (disambiguation)]]; if there is a Kohl's equation it will be linked to by that. If there is something called Kohl's and Kohl's only, then it can be moved then. So yes, Lakeside School needs to have a comma, place, but not this one. Kohl's is probably their tradename. (this should go on its talk poage btw) Dunc_Harris|☺

C-3PO - Poorly written, some POV, not much about the character

I removed some of the POV and added some info and tried to clean it up a bit. This is my first major edit. Please let me know how I did! Paul 02:11, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Francisco Valesio - Substub (one sentence), is he notable?

panic attack -- needs wikifying.

A Separate Peace + I cleaned up the spelling, but it really needs sentence structure and grammar help. I haven't read the book or I'd do it.

I haven't read it either, or I would, but this one is desperately bad (seems like a book report from a high school student). Geogre 18:48, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Ramstein Air Base Needs more wikifying

Settlers of Catan Massive article includes the entire rule book for the game, numerous illustrations from the board game, etc. Is this copyvio? Is it necessary? While we're at it, how about

Settlers of Catan, Seafarers expansion. That's the actual article title, and it's not so wikified nor notable. Anyone want to clean it or VfD it?

See Talk:Settlers of Catan/copyright and fair use. This article and its numerous spinoffs have had a long and contentious history which, IMO, is wrong. *I* believe that much of this material is a copyvio, but others disagree. RickK 18:45, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)

Gucci Cut and paste from web site (possibly not copyvio, though). Needs a dose of logical ordering and a minor re-write.

Pranayama A very long, possibly promotional, POV piece about the glories of a type of Yoga.

Dave Batista - needs a lot of work

Arthur Avenue - needs much work

Aside from the ugliness of the entry, isn't it possible to VfD this on the rationale that other common street names have been deleted in the past. Arthur Ave isn't that notable, and there are many others by that name. (I won't VfD it if it's in CU process.) Geogre 17:25, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Claro M. Recto - needs work

Wilderness first aid Needs either serious professional attention or serious deletions.

Half Caste - poem explanation needs expanding, poem itself should be cut to a small quote or moved to wikisource

Further, the poem is, by virtue of its date, entirely within copyright. The article author should offer up proof of permission, or this is absolutely a copyvio, unless we cut the whole poem (and we should, but not before finding out if there is permission). Geogre 12:59, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

It's the band on "The Muppet Show." It should be an easy clean. Geogre 02:15, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Not the Muppet Show, but The Muppet Movie. KeithTyler 06:26, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)

Lakeside School I don't trust myself with VfD these days, but this needs a move and clean. If one goes to Peterson's Guide to secondary education in the US and Canada, one will find a hearty 20-30 private schools named Lakeside. Further, one would find any number (inestimable) of public schools by the name. Having this be the one, the only, and for it to replicate, essentially, a Peterson's entry, just seems wrong to me.

"Fuck Off" - by anon user. Need to verify due to potentially attractive content for trolls? Dunc_Harris|☺ 13:14, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Verified, but the source I found was in French. Perhaps it would be better if there were a "Chinese Avant-Garde" or "Chinese Avant Garde" article & this info were folded into it in the absence of a fuller article on this exhibit. Geogre 14:18, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I tried to clarify this, but could not find much info, apparently the Chinese title was 'The Uncooperative Attitude' why not re-title it that, with a mention of 'Fuck Off' in the article . User:Conte Giacomo

Joe Rush substub. Necessary or is Mutoid Waste Company sufficient? Dunc_Harris|☺ 22:08, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Without birth year and location, this entry simply occupies a title that might go to one of the other Joseph Rushes out there. Seems like Mutoid Waste Company would be more than enough to contain this information. Geogre 11:41, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC) (Yeah, I know I'm quick on the trigger.)

Brynn Hartman substub. Notable other for being the missus of some actor? If not improved, delete it. Dunc_Harris|☺ 20:53, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC) + added info (she shot him then turned the gun on herself) - still needs serious work

• Been quite a few of these odd little tidbits from an "Animaniacs" fan. S/he also seems to like secondary Tex Avery characters.

-A guy, thank you. And you'll find my encyclopediac knowledge of animation fairly useful here. Let me know if you have any specific areas that need data. --The Iconoclast

• Cool! That's a favorite subject of mine as well. I may just take you up on that offer. It blew me away to see anything on the Animaniacs, let alone the secondary characters. Long live Pinky and The Brain! NARF!

June 18

Robert Abbot unimproved since August 2002, I tried to have a go but the academic text was too much for me. -- Graham  :) | Talk + clarified somewhat, but information about his actual significance is still needed. Vardion

Difficult case. The people he's confused with are significant, and I could write about them, but this fellow just wrote books. It's also pretty confusing in the text: he persecuted non-conformists (Puritans), and he's a Puritan? 17th c. language of schism is pretty torturous, and these non-conformists might be Anabaptists, etc. In other words, I'm not sure it can be cleaned more, but the subject passes the significance test. Geogre 13:39, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Kachikoshi - this may be terminally a dicdef: a winning record in some unspecified type of competition. If someone has a clue, there might be article potential here, or replacement with a redirect. -- Jmabel 22:11, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC) + contextualised (sumo wrestling), but I don't know if it can ever be more than a dicdef - it basically just means "winning more matches than you lose". Vardion I added a bit about the significance of getting kachikoshi but think that there should at least be a link to here from (sumo wrestling). Perhaps the prizes are more important than kachikoshi? --Sekizaru 21:59, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Katie Ka-Boom is an amusing, but not yet very encyclopedic, article on a character who apparently appears in several animations. -- Jmabel 21:26, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)

JCreator - reads like an ad. -- Jmabel 21:13, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)

I removed the advertising copy and the POV. What's left ain't a lot. If there are Java programmers who want to say explanatory words about this program, it can be cleaned more. Otherwise, it's a substub once it's no longer spam. Geogre 13:44, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Warden's Five Rings - orphan, jargon

Water Boarding - a type of torture -orphaned

Wetlook - getting wet whilst wearing clothes....

Will to Power - a selection of quotes from Nietzsche

I cleaned it, but I feel pretty sure that our text dumper was dropping copyrighted material on us. Nietzsche's in the public domain, but translations are not so open. Can anyone verify that this translation is PD? Geogre 13:28, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Kaufmann is not public domain. His translations (c 1960s or so) bear royalties and cost more than PD editions. I think this article still looks like cut-and-paste, and that it's at least stretching fair use because the quoted text constitutes more than half of it. CHL

Dougherty and others by User:213.224.175.16 special:contributions/213.224.175.16 - can someone check their validity too?

The meta subject is real enough Phantom island, and our contributor is now inking in descriptions of each Phantom island. I opine they're probably the real thing (to the extent that phantoms can be, of course). I'll do some linking to provide context. --Tagishsimon

Superficial anatomy - "from an old encyclopedia", in need of wikifying since November, 2002

Eek! This is not only obsolete and cumbersome (who searches for "superficial anatomy?"), but it's from an "old encyclopedia" that dates from the era of racial types. CU seems a waste, unless medical schools are still teaching a class called "Superficial Anatomy" and a MD wants to fill in this article with a description of such a course of study. Geogre 14:52, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Journal of Consciousness Studies - advert? data dump? needs extensive re-edit and cleanup.

It's real enough. User Mporch did most of the work about 3 weeks ago, it seems. It needs cleaning, but the journal is really peer reviewed and significant. It's not a dump or plumper. Geogre 13:12, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I cleaned up the Book section however I feel that the areas of study section ought to be removed, shortened or made into a Table of Contents like section. 10101001011 15:47, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

How about we put the "areas" into a narrative sentence, with the items in a line, rather than occupying .5 screen of scroll? I'll try that. Geogre 16:34, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Probably VfD, since all Google links are in German. It seems to be a museum in Austria. The German Wikipedians could fill it out, but if the English Wikipedia users need this article, they need more context than a non-German speaker can provide. Geogre 17:15, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Tradewars - wikify

I gave it the POV-ectomy, turning it to an article about the Trade Wars game (which goes by any number of names, etc.). I'm not sure that it's worth keeping, though. If folks want to clean & improve it with specific dates and iterations of the game, that would be worthwhile. Otherwise, this is probably a VfD candidate. Geogre 02:12, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Alexandrov topology - please edit this so a numbskull like me can actually understand it... -- Graham  :) | Talk

Visual short term memory I have justed added my first article. I would be grateful if people could read through it, wikify it, shorten it etc. There is a pre-existing article on short-term memory, but this is a somewhat different topic and my feeling was that it was better keep two separate pages, but if anyone wants to try merging the two that would be great.

Eiko Kadono, Second paragraph of this stub is almost incomprehensible (author of paragraph writes: "She published Kiki in 1985.

Punjab University and Panjab University - duplicate articles, must be merged. Apparently, Punjab University was recently renamed as Panjab University. Also more detail is required about the institution. Jam2k

Panjab University is a copyvio. If someone wants to rewrite, there's good info here. —Stormie 03:46, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)

Digging deeper, it's a bit of a mess, sadly. It seems the University of the Punjab was established in Lahore under British rule, now there is a Panjab University in Chandigarh whose website says "the University shifted to Chandigarh in 1956"; and also the University of the Punjab still active in Lahore whose website would have it that there has never been any Punjab University anywhere else. And I'm afraid I'll step into an India-Pakistan minefield if I try to write an article. —Stormie 04:14, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)
