If an article needs further cleaning up, add {{cleanup}} to the top of the article. To see articles with this tag added, see Category:Cleanup
Some editors prefer that new helpers (like yourself) work on leftovers and very old articles, just help deal with them and get them out of the way. But either preference, new or old; all help is appreciated. If you have a cleanup routine, add your name and your routine preferences (how often, old/new articles, what subjects, etc ) to the cleanup routine list.

Please read Wikipedia:Cleanup process for instructions on maintaining this page. Remember to remove listings once stated problems have been resolved.

XML schema and XML have complementary content on the same topic. The information in both is accurate and fairly well-written (if I do say so myself), but a merger is probably warranted. Complicating matters is the need for disambiguation from W3C XML Schema, formerly XML Schema (I moved it today), and the fact that the current disambiguation strategy may not be canon. See Talk:XML schema. - mjb 08:59, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Nikola Tesla - Many links in this article seem to justify the existence of articles that are, in some cases, little more than dictionary definitions, or that do have long entries but that really don't need to be linked to in irrelevant prose ("photographs of the bones of his hand"; many other common nouns). Is there a policy for this sort of thing? - mjb 09:09, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Cashflow matching - definition; poorly written. Peter O.
Frisco Soccer and Entertainment Center - needs some prose. And is the current home of the Frisco Soccer and Entertainment Center really the Cotton Bowl? Methinks that is the current home of the TEAM, not the center.
- Same thing with Rapids Soccer Stadium. In fact, see all of the contributions by [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=12.216.168.133 User:12.216.168.133, all of which are nothing but collections of statistics with no sentences.

Net flux - not wikified
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
- 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
- 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
- I'm pretty saure that several of the people who voted "Keep" 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
- While I don't participate or personally know anyone that participates in such, I'm aware that it is a real phenomenon, sophisticated enough to be called a subculture. I think it does deserve an article, and more than the little snippet on vampire. Let me clean it up, and then see what you think. PMC

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

Accrued interest - signed, unwikified essay
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. 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

Class War POV such as "oppressive Thatcher Regan axis strangled world trade"

- Redundant and impossible. There were hundreds and hundreds of them.

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.

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.

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).

- 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

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

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
Kunststiftung_NRW - substub, mess.
