Wikified 198.164.135.45 13:55, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

October 29

  • Parenthood - needs npoving, wikification, context, formatting, and categories. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (hopefully!)]] 22:32, Oct 30, 2004 UTC)
  • List of colonial governors in 1778 Messy... incomplete. Copyediting as well. Estel
  • Slaughterhouse - shamelessly NPOV, and it looks like some useful info has been removed. Ppe42
    • Now significantly reworked and a bit more balanced. -- Solipsist 09:48, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Oregon, My Oregon [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]]
  • Shuffle - needs some copyediting (especially in Randomization section) and some wikification. -- [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]]
  • Haute-Savoie: the Bonneville link leads to a disambiguation page (most of the entries for which have not been done).
  • Kdu college--Malaysian university needs de-adverting, wikifying. I'd do it myself, but I'm not sure if this is the right title. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]]
  • David Vetter - quite nicely said, this looks like a Mad Lib. This needs much more research and proper Wiki write-up. I added the birth and death dates, which is a big change from the previous bit, saying he lived in "the sixties". Mike H
  • Category:Manitoba politicians: Minor point: many biographies (110/260?) in this category don't mention the person's date or year of birth. -- User:Docu
    • As the person who created most of these biographies, I can tell you that the dobs were not always available. I included this information wherever possible, and left it pending otherwise.
    • I'd appreciate it if someone (or some people) would fill in the birthdates for the individual biographies, but this information isn't always easy to obtain -- besides which, it doesn't really have anything to do with the category page itself. I've removed the cleanup notice for these reasons, though I wouldn't object to a request for information notice being raised on this subject. CJCurrie 00:41, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
      • I agree that the "cleanup" notice on the category was not ideal, but might have been the easiest solution. Maybe a list of the biographies that could use the additional information is better. I added the category as it's one of the five categories with the most articles where I couldn't find the information for People by year. This is really minor, but, as most of them are contemporaries and candidates in elections, I would have thought the year of birth may be easily available. Naturally the information needing to be published about a candidate varies from one country to another and, as you already researched the individuals, we might directly remove the category from Cleanup. -- User:Docu
  • [[List_of_stations_of_the_Paris_M%E9tro]] The stations, except a few, shouldn't have their own page. Isn't there a map of the Paris Metro? [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]]
    • The talk page has a big discussion about this problem from an old VfD. Someone went in and fired off pages for all of them, now they sit stagnant. Half a year ago there was much talk, but nothing was done - the VfD essentially didn't go through. If the deletion call succeeded, you'd probably end up with something like the TTC subway, which I prefer, personally - stations are listed on a page for their line, rather than a page for every station. The other extreme is the London Underground approach. The difference between the Paris and London pages, of course, is that there were enough Londoners (and there was possibly enough history) to flesh out a good number of the London station pages... Any volunteers for Paris? Krupo
    • Made redirects, but upon inspection they turned out to be ill-formed. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 03:41, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
  • Systems Commonwealth. Also listed on Copyvio but, assuming it doesn't get toasted, it could do with splitting up. The article isn't just about the Systems Commonwealth (from the TV series Andromeda), but about the whole storyline and backplot. — OwenBlacker 05:06, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)

List of 1500 malformed wiki brackets for cleanup

I've got a list of wiki pages with malformed syntax - in particular malformed wiki brackets (not closed or opened properly). At first I tried fixing these pages myself, but quickly realised that there were far too many for just one person to do - so I am posting to Cleanup asking for help. For each item there is a link to the article that has the problem, a description of the problem (the type of mismatched brackets), and the beginning of the line that has the problem (so all the problems should hopefully be easy to locate). -- Nickj 00:56, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Today's other items

*Jean-Baptiste Drouet (Napoleonic soldier) - more of a timeline than an article. -R. fiend 16:46, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

    • It is in CV style which is perfect for minor Napoleonic players. It is the way that articles are written in the EBII just they wrap them up into paragraphs this way the expansion is easier. Philip Baird Shearer 19:19, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Bouches-du-Rhône - Istres prefecture leads to the air base of that name, rather than the place with which it is associated.
  • Guild of One-Name Studies - notable organisations, it's also one that I belong to (!), just needs wikifying. I'd do it myself but I don't have time just now. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 13:01, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Oradour-sur-Glane - now consists primarily of what seems to be a highly improvisational Nazi justification of an atrocity Nunh-huh 04:29, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Now severely edited down and hopefully NPOV'd-- please review the changes. -- The Anome 01:49, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
      • Much improved now. There's still the problem that we explicitly give one POV (killing a village of men, women, and children is a good tactical move that saves valuable German lives, which are the ones that really count) without explicitly giving the other (the lives of French children are at least as valuable as those of Nazi soldiers, and soldiers killing unarmed civilian children is a bad thing.) - Nunh-huh 18:37, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Saint Dominguito del Val - Would like an NPOV rendering of the event. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 02:51, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)
  • Born in Flames: Needs editing into Wikipedia NPOV style: at the moment it's advocacy. -- The Anome 02:11, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Cleaned quite a bit. Took out as much POV as I could without compromising too much of the film's theme (from what I could tell; I haven't seen it. someone who has should probably check it too). -R. fiend 18:05, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Vitor Belfort Needs much copyediting and wikification. --LeeHunter 18:26, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Commercialism: well wikified, but naive. Mikkalai 18:50, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Radar History: Badly needs cleanup or to be deleted. Possible copyvio? Sarge Baldy 22:27, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)

  • Metagonimiasis - more medical info from Vogon - [[User:Cohesion|cohesion ☎]] 08:34, Oct 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Sullivan's Cove - needs context, wikification - [[User:Cohesion|cohesion ☎]] 08:31, Oct 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Orange (word) - basically says there's no word that rhymes with orange. Needs fact-checking given the VfD listing of quorange. - RedWordSmith
  • Interesting number paradox a mathematician has to rewrite this article away from its sensationalist, rather than encyclopedic style. Some statements are plain false if under scrutiny (I've already removed the most evident one). Mikkalai 00:03, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • IDrive - Confusing substub. Norman Rogers 23:26, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Direct Worship - unwikified text dump. RickK 23:13, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
    • Wikified and cleaned up, some searching doesn't show a direct copyvio from other webpages indexed by Google. --ABQCat 01:47, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Gothia - written by non-native English speaker, unwikified. RickK 23:11, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
    • cleanup done WpZurp 03:22, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Liberation Day - unwikified. There are probably more Liberation Days that can be discussed here. RickK 23:08, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Whittier, Minneapolis - unwikified text dump. RickK 22:57, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Gäufelden - was originally written in German, has been badly translated into English, has red links which shouldn't be red, bad image formatting. RickK 22:55, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Tuluá - unwikfied text dump. Reads like a copyvio, highly POV, unencyclopedic style. RickK 22:54, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • The Oxford Student - unwikified. RickK 21:56, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Duban - unwikified text dump. RickK 21:22, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Jeans - needs a lot of work including wikification and rewriting. Lots of material reads like it was copied from other places. Were jeans really invented in Genoa, or do they just derive their name from there? RickK 21:11, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Vella-Clary--nobility ultra stub. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 20:56, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Integrative Psychotherapy is written in first person and with a conversational tone.Lumos3 19:43, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • "stephen d. lee" needs factcheck, wikification, and (obviously) a move to a real title. -R. fiend 18:11, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Lorraine needs some tidying up/NPOVing: and can Condom-the-place, Gers, be separated from the object (slightly inappropriate in a library). Likewise Saint Gaudens from Haute Garonne leads to a person. Jackiespeel 17:31, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Edgar Cayce on Karma - Inclusion dispute; merge proposal. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 06:42, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Oberon-V - Someone who can make sense of this should clean it. Otherwise it should be sent to VfD. -R. fiend 05:33, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Reggio Emilia approach - This article is yelling at me :'( Sarge Baldy 04:28, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
    • Might be a copyvio; the sentences I checked turned up alot of verbatim google hits. Is it public domain? Are they all wikiclones? Well, I got it to stop yelling at least, Sarge (there there...) -R. fiend 05:40, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Eric Schmidt - Most likely press release from Google; probably copyvio; needs dePOVing. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (hopefully!)]] 01:24, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Norfolk Southern, while wikified, reads like a corporate brochure. Doesn't seem to be a copyvio though. I don't know anything about this company, so I can't even try to fix it. Kiand 01:17, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • I did a bit of cleanup on it today slambo 23:40, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Avraam benaroya looks like someone's rather long speech. There is useful information here, but it is certainly not in the format of an encyclopedia article. Needs some serious pruning, formatting, TLC. SWAdair | Talk 07:40, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

October 25

October 24

  • Incarnations of Immortality - needs copyediting badly. Could use some more information other than spoileriffic plot synopses, plus a lot of wikification. Copyedited "On a Pale Horse" and "With a Tangled Skein" sections, but needs a lot of attention from someone who has read the other books recently. Munkymu Oct 25, 2004
  • 3dmm - unwikified text dump. I'm convinced this is a copyvio, but I can't find where from. RickK 05:11, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Oera Linda - The book itself is almost suredly a hoax. The atricle does not make this clear. See http://www.earth-history.com/Europe/eur-oera-intro.htm http://www.nsm88.com/articles/oeralindabook.html and others. If this book is going to shake up the known history of Europe, why doesn't the article tell us what it says? RickK 04:56, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg - Not an encyclopedia article at the moment, in that it talks entirely about his role in the Valmy campaign. Plus, it's at the wrong place, since he was Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Plus, Duke of Brunswick oddly redirects there...and so forth. -- john k 04:52, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Politics of Hong Kong - Need to update and refactor the summary of the Article 23 controversy. Need to Tidy information imported from the CIA factbook. The lists of political parties, leaders, and pressure groups should be merged with List of political parties in Hong Kong. It would be nice to have short summaries on the list page of their positions, but the NPOV requirement may make terse summaries problematic. -- Beland 04:33, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Hong Kong Basic Law Article 23 needs to be re-factored. Right now, it's too much of a chronology of news events. It also needs (another) copyedit and NPOV/fact check. See the talk page for more notes. -- Beland 01:02, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Max Alvis. The initial entry is plaggued by errors and omissions, so I made a new one. MusiCitizen 21:33, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Digital Network Theory - reads like ad for book. Needs lead on actual subject and wikiformat. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 20:16, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Ue o muite aruko - not sure what to do with this Deus Ex 19:02, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Expect it's Japanese or Chinese song translation, unless notability can be shown, I suggest it be VfD. Needs format at very least. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 20:20, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
I think it is valid, but it needs to be moved to Seven seas and it could do with some context (pirates and such).

[[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 20:18, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)

Did the move, still needs context. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 20:25, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Richard Coyle - wikify
  • The Shadows potential to be a great article, but several 1 sentence paras, and various sloppy organization. Someone with more knowledge of the band should approach this. —siroχo
  • Ultras - was on Cleanup back in September, but has since been expanded (so I've removed the earlier listing). Currently needs someone to check the grammar. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 11:58, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Inertia (DC Comics) - needs context from someone who knows their DC Comics. —Stormie 11:00, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
    • Done. Although I don't know why someone bothered creating it, considering he isn't even mentioned in his only enemy's page. --Pc13 15:36, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Union (proposed future of the EU) - is this really "the proposed future to the evolution of the European Union", or just some anon's rambling?—Stormie 11:00, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
Rambling. The EU has already turned down Morocco.Probably need to put on VfdGeni 13:51, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Judging from the history of the user, this is some anonymous rambling worthy of very speedy deletion. Aecis 14:14, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
After some research on http://www.chemfinder.com I've come to the conclusion that not much can be said about this acid. And we're not a chemical database. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 12:51, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
Chelating agent useful in spectroscopy. Will try to expand in a few days. Cool Hand Luke 21:04, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Edah - Um, okay, but what is it? RickK 06:21, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Leech (comics) - was tagged but it seems never listed. I was halfway through cleaning it when I realized it looks completely bogus. Google wasn't too helpful. If anyone knows more about X-men than I do (ie anyone), then please confirm or deny this and then clean it or send it to VfD (or do a speedy if it's nonsense). -R. fiend 02:25, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • There was a minor character named Leech in the X-Men, but all that stuff about leeches called Steve and Durwin sounds like a load of crap. See [6] for some info that sounds a lot more like what I remember. —Stormie 11:04, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
      • That's basically what I thought. Deleted 90% of the info and made a substub. Feel free to expand, anyone. -R. fiend 18:18, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Transthyretin - smells of copyvio, but no source could be Googled. Is worthy of an article (the protein that carries thyroid hormone in the blood) but the present is frightfully bad. JFW | T@lk 22:53, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Anansi the Spider - missing context (fictional or mythical?); is this the proper title for the article? [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 20:36, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
Comment:Turns out that that was about a cartoon hero, right now it's a disambig to an African folk hero and the cartoon hero. Kappa 02:35, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Comment: if this is changed into a footer, the placement of this template in the articles that use it needs to be changed as well. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 08:46, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Dave Sim unsubstantiated hyperbole, not even close to NPOV -- Rick Block 01:18, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Captain Albert Steiner was posted as a cleanup but not listed here. He's a character from "Final Fantasy IX" which my son happens to have. See, it does pay to have a game console at home.  :^) I've cleaned and formatted it somewhat. - Lucky 6.9 00:13, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Octaviano Ambrosio Larrazolo - unwikified text dump. RickK 23:02, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Birzebbuga - one short sentence about the town, one long paragraph about the town's marching band, huge photos of questionable copyright status. RickK 22:39, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Andrea Spinks - a POV mess, reads like a copyvio. RickK 22:29, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Heart Mountain War Relocation Center - Kiddie-wiki sans real wikis, but a good start to a legit article. I'm surprised this wasn't already listed! - Lucky 6.9 22:08, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • The Foot Shooting Party - thought it was patent nonsense, but it really is a Leonardo DiCaprio flick. Fannish and breezy style, no wikis, no formatting, no external links and lacks info. - Lucky 6.9 21:51, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Did some cleanup, still a stub, though it's only a 27 minute short, there probably isn't much more that can be said. RickK 22:30, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • OID and Object identifier should be merged into one article. Ray Dassen 20:58, 2004 Oct 21 (UTC)

  • David carson - google scores plenty of hits so appears notable, article needs overhaul though. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 17:37, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Portlands Energy Centre - unwikified text dump. RickK 05:41, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • Communes of the Lot département - almost every active link leads to the wrong page or to a disambiguation page. Anyone know the standard disambiguation for French communes? Rmhermen 03:43, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
    • The standard disambiguation for French communes (when needed) is: "commune, département". For instance, we should have: Bach, Lot, etc. Thanks for working on this! olivier 06:25, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • Red Herring (magazine) - Judging by IP, obviously the editors of this magazine have been adding to this entry. Lots of self-promo-type stuff. [[User:Davodd|DAVODD «TALK»]] 01:19, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • Chen Duxiu - Have corrected much of the original problems which resulted in cleanup request; still needs some copyeditting and some reworking of the biblio (chinese needs to be in parenthesis). Watch for continuous reverts by users meaning well but new. [[User:Tomf688|Tom]] 01:17, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)

  • Mancur Olson - unwikified text dump. jni 14:36, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • LEPrecon is extremely breezy and fannish (hey, that kinda works!) not to mention unwikified. Could grow into a nice article. - Lucky 6.9
    • It's wikified now, but with more attention could grow into an even better article than it is currently. -sbeath
      • Agreed. Much better. - Lucky 6.9 21:53, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • I thought it seemed a bit... "fannish" still. I did a little copyeditting. And tried to get rid of the places where it said "I think that"...
  • Lisp Machines, Inc. - unwikified text dump. RickK
  • Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Some parts are pretty messy, for example the part where it describes the things that Dr. Weird as done in the opening sequences, or the part about Meatwad's brain + I cleaned up meatwad and dr wierd a bit, not sure if its much better though. —siroχo
    • Isn't there some rule that Wikipedia isn't an episode guide? This article lists all episodes... [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 18:41, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • Jakob Maria Mierscheid - a confusing mess, not yet in English, and not yet clear what it's saying; it resembles to some extent its counterpart on de: (which has further ext lks) but does not parallel it. Is "he" notable, or VfD fodder? (Removed from LoPbN where "fictitious politician" is reason to disqualify, since article is too vague to change that description.)
He is a fiction (a kind of joke actually) although a well known one. His "personal data" really is on the website of the German parliament, "his" article in the social democratic paper exists and sometimes he is mentioned in publications of the Bundestag. -- Zeitgeist 18:40, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
It's from a user who was permanently banned on the German wikipedia for trying to insert blatantly pro GDR POV statements in articles. I guess its best if you just delete the section. -- Zeitgeist 18:42, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Macedonian Empire All one paragraph, not in Wikipedia style, needs NPOV ("From this world of daring and passion, of questing and contradiction the robust Hellenism of Macedonia carried the art of man to the ends of the inhabited world, bestowing poetry upon the mute and, in the infancy of mankind, instilling philosophical thought.")

      • No, he's being portrayed as a dentist. The whole thing appears high on the bogosity scale. Why they do this I don't know. -R. S. Shaw 10:24, 2004 Oct 6 (UTC)
      • Evidently a vanity article, "supported" by 2 other articles. The White's sign article is superficially plausible, but the symptom described does not seem to be known as White's sign; that apparently was coined in imitation of the related (and actually used) Battle's Sign. See for instance medhelp. Looks as if persistence was involved. Earlier someone got his "White's sign" and bio (as a dentist) into WhoNamedIt, and this was wildly cited on Wikipedia (as "Laureate" for a while). The second "supporting" article, White's butterfly sign is much more bizarre, relying on a passing mention of a "white butterfly" xray image in a Newsweek article that is used as a reference. Maybe someone was hitting the nitrous oxide too heavily. -R. S. Shaw 23:37, 2004 Oct 6 (UTC)
      • The article needs to be deleted - it's bogus. The significance of 'CSF otorrhoea' and 'CSF rhinorrhoea' (always so called) has been known for a long time. I have not tried to research it as a history of medicine topic, but the general belief among the doctors I know is that it goes back probably for centuries. To my certain knowledge, it was part of standard teaching in UK/Commonwealth medical schools in the first half of the 20th century (well before White was born), and even then it was regarded as old knowledge. It is not the sort of sign that needs an eponym, it's too obvious - you crack your skull, you leak CSF, depending on the site of the fracture. I wouldn't be surprised if some recognition of the significance of CSF leaks went back to early Arabic or Greek physicians. Similarly with the effects of concussive injury - this knowledge is not as old, but it's certainly much older than White, and how would a dentist become experienced in blast injury chest radiographs anyway? If someone has introduced these eponyms, they are amazingly ignorant. More likely the whole thing's a spoof - do we have any evidence that White even exists? Rhd 09:21, 2004 Oct 8 (UTC)
      • There is some evidence that a person like the one described in the bio at WhoNamedIt exists. The American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology newsletter at aaomp.org lists Fred A. White, DDS of Citra, Florida as a new member, 2002-3. The bio mentions Florida and "West Marion Community Hospital", and Citra, FL is in Marion County. There is a phone number available for a Fred White of Citra. -R. S. Shaw 04:43, 2004 Oct 9 (UTC)

    • - IMO this should be merged (history and text) with Inverse surveillance, if only bcz it was incompetantly or maliciously created on top of User:The Anome's move of Sousveillance to Inverse surveillance, in order to resist that (IMO appropriate) move. Any well-informed admin can make that move, but it should IMO not be done w/o a definitive decision that there are not two separate subjects (despite the apparently wide opinion that Sousveillance should only exist as a redir, and the apparent insistence of others that there must be an article by that name). Unless we are prepared to protect the redir from being overwritten, doing the merge could amount to a decision to go thru a long series of increasingly confusing remergings. --Jerzy(t) 07:17, 2004 Oct 6 (UTC)

Would still like to see proof of notability. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 10:09, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)
Quite notable place, actually -- perhaps #1 tourist attraction in New Orleans -- will try to make article reflect that. Geogre 14:27, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

October 2

  • Jerry Apodaca needs a lot of wikifyng and formating. Danny 23:52, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Heaven I recieved an email regarding some weirdness w this page, possible bug? I removed some repitition, have a look. Sam [Spade] 22:39, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Beachwear - basically unwikified. Plus, the article is just weird, hardly encyclopedic. RickK 21:13, Oct 2, 2004 (UTC)
    • And is becoming more and more bizarre. RickK 04:11, Oct 3, 2004 (UTC)
      • Bizarre is not the word, is it meant to be useful advice? Giano 14:57, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
        • Perspective seems less than global: "Many people like to remain 'beach ready' at all times". Transwiki to the California Wikipedia. --Bishonen 18:12, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Ryan Merriman - substub, needs lots of work. (For notability, check IMDB) [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 21:00, Oct 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • Alex Zanotelli - needs work, especially the removal of first person. RickK 20:22, Oct 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • Ahmed Dini Ahmed - unwikified. RickK 19:38, Oct 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • Redowa - needs to be made NPOV. -- J3ff 17:43, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • SAFE, SAI - long lists of acronyms, but how many of them are encyclopedic subjects? --rbrwrˆ
  • Hunter's bend - needs reformatting and expanding - Darksun 09:34, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • +reformatted, moved one of the pics to the talk page cause article was too small. Still needs expansion. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 15:48, Oct 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • Did some minor editing, wrote lead section. Maybe we should turn this one over to the WikiDoc project? [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 16:04, Oct 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • Graffiti needs some text tightening and info verification in some of the later sections (especially "Aerosol or 'spray can' art", "Graffiti Art Battle", and "Street art"), restoration of some deleted info (see Talk:Graffiti), and trimming of the references and external links. Expansion of the historical section, coverage of the transition into the 20th century, and more on the legal aspects would be neat too. I think this could be a featured article if it gets a little cleanup and expansion. User:Cow 08:03, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Walter Breen - needs much copyediting. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 07:34, Oct 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • Chunga's Revenge - wikify, remove Zappa fan's gushing and POV. JamesMLane 06:55, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • The Black Mass - needs wikification and massive copyediting. Might be a copyvio, but cleanup will probably solve that. Bryan 05:50, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Tactical combat - Needs wikification and copyedit. Possible copyvio - seems like a course outline from some private group - probably needs review by someone who knows what this is all about. --LeeHunter 23:48, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

October 1

  • Dry-stone wall - needs wikification, headings and paragraph formatting. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 21:22, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
    • Reworked some sentences a slight bit and mentioned Ireland (we are coming down with them here!) Still not right though - not sure any further sectioning can be done. zoney ♣ talk 20:37, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Network Search Engine is this an ad? Dunc_Harris|☺ 09:26, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • I think it reads like an ad indeed. Maybe to VfD? [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 09:31, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
    • Certain bits seem to be direct lifts from the linked website. Jackiespeel 15:52, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Rebuttals to the cosmological argument - nearly unwikified.
  • Fermentation lock - probably needs to be rewritten by someone who knows about brewing. —Stormie 06:48, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
    • I put an inclusion notice up at Brewing. Should draw the proper attention. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 18:28, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
  • Fu Heng - unwikified. RickK 06:36, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
    • wikified and removed wikify notice. Is this notable? Needs expansion. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 15:46, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
  • Derek Parfit - needs wikification, breaking of huge paras into smaller ones, grammar help. RickK 05:32, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
  • Richard Cole - EXTREMELY POV, unwikified. RickK 05:00, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
  • Upanishad - a mess.
  • Belinda Thorpe - survived VFD, I now commit this unwikified mass to cleanup. Stormie
  • Spanish Morocco: this needs tightening, rephrasing, specifics, an external link or so. Wetman 06:01, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Tidied up somewhat. More information needed from someone who knows the subject. Jackiespeel 15:50, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
