*[[List of Marilyns in England]] -- I'm very confused about how Marilyns are being listed on here. The [[Category:Marilyns of England]] lists them alphabetically if the tag is added to the page eg [[Dundry Down]] which I've done some bits as part of work on the [[Chew Valley]] on appears in alphabetical order while it appears on [[List of Marilyns in England]] under South Central England with the parent as [[Beacon Batch]] (Somerset), when Black Down and [[Walbery Hill]] (Berkshire) both are listed in South East England with the same parent. I'm not sure of the definition of "parent" as Beacon Batch & Dundry Down are oposite sides of the Chew Valley & doesn't comply with the rules at [[Topographic prominence]]. If these are going to be listed by area perhaps a section for the South West is needed & locations & parents need checking.[[User:Rodw|Rod]] 19:44, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Revision as of 20:11, 17 March 2006

The cleanup page is a place where articles with problems (ungrammatical, poorly formatted, confusing, etc.) can be listed. Any user can fix or list articles here.

Older cleanup: Category:Cleanup by month. Pages are archived by month, but are still in need of cleanup (or de-listing if they have already been cleaned up).



  1. Sign your name, date and time by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ )
  2. Also remember that you can submit an article in need of cleanup to the Cleanup Taskforce (which is always looking for members).

For more detailed information about this page, see Wikipedia:Cleanup process.

Just to let everyone know, there were 13,726 articles tagged for cleanup as of 12 February 2006 (UTC). This means that we are working on an astounding 1.33% of Wikipedia's articles. Most of these articles can be found under Category:Cleanup by month and are not listed below. Anything you can do to help clear the backlog would be greatly appreciated.

March 17, 2006

  • List of Marilyns in England -- I'm very confused about how Marilyns are being listed on here. The Category:Marilyns of England lists them alphabetically if the tag is added to the page eg Dundry Down which I've done some bits as part of work on the Chew Valley on appears in alphabetical order while it appears on List of Marilyns in England under South Central England with the parent as Beacon Batch (Somerset), when Black Down and Walbery Hill (Berkshire) both are listed in South East England with the same parent. I'm not sure of the definition of "parent" as Beacon Batch & Dundry Down are oposite sides of the Chew Valley & doesn't comply with the rules at Topographic prominence. If these are going to be listed by area perhaps a section for the South West is needed & locations & parents need checking.Rod 19:44, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pat Sajak really needs to be reworded. -- Wikipedical 00:26, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alternative culture is a potentially worthy article, but it reads like original research and is badly written. I think the main problem is the author's assumed understanding of "the mainstream culture" as an unproblematic opposition to "alternative". Someone with a background in media studies and subculture research should take a look. --The Famous Movie Director 06:45, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • House System at the California Institute of Technology was merged from several different articles some time ago and is currently in a very sorry state. There is no consistency between the treatments of the various houses, much of the factoids presented are of no interest to anyone outside of Caltech, and quite a bit of the article smacks of original research. As a former student I can affirm that pretty much every fact presented is true, but I don't know how much of it is really verifiable. 63.201.92.7 07:54, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

March 16, 2006

  • Feral there is a great deal of good stuff but it seems the author's mother tongue isn't English.Barbara Shack 18:28, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

March 14, 2006

  • Rett syndrome - This may require a bit of checking. I've edited for sentence cohesion only. Someone should check the proper usage of syndrome/disorder in the article.
  • Military fiat - some sections seem to have little to do with the military. Jackiespeel 18:15, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Carroll Rosenbloom - poorly formatted article about the legendary football coach. Has little separation into paragraphs, and no separation into sections. Basically a big wall of text. 198.234.255.234 17:36, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Germatoid - poorly formatted article about villain in Sailor Moon. Contains too much text, no separation into paragraphs, first mention of title not bolded, etc. --Geopgeop 06:51, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • X-Cart - poorly written article with only one major contributor. Promotion for commercial software—claims to be "open source" but the software license prohibits use without purchase and says you have "no right to use, make, sublicense, modify, transfer or copy either the original or any copies of the Software or to permit anyone else to do so". May be an AFD candidate, unless the article can be rewritten and the software is worthy of an article. — Miles←☎ 00:05, 14 March 2006 (UTC) I'd like to add that it is also a mess vis a vis grammar and spelling and is clearly an advert.[reply]
  • John Zachman(enterprise-software designer) Possible copy vio; in any case reads too much like press release.Jerzyt
  • Surface epithelial-stromal tumour,Mucinous tumour,Brenner tumour. I rewrote these and just would like help "wikifying" them and improving their format. Please only rewrite content if it is necessary to help with clarifying the information.Pathologyresident 15:01, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • R. J. Rummel. PoV panegyric; cleanup being attempted. Belated listing; marked for cleanup by SlimVirgin in February. Septentrionalis 16:47, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • B₀ (B subscript zero) and MINTO- can someone clarify for persons not involved in the field? Jackiespeel 22:45, 12 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)

March 11, 2006

  • 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]
  • Battered woman syndrome - Almost an exact copy of Battered syndrome. I suggest this be deleted and replaced with a re-direct. --User:Rebroad 13:54, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Seems to have been done the other way round. Rob Church 18:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hart Hanson - A writer/producer of TV programs. (Has an IMDB entry.) Contains statements like "Hart Hanson was born in San Francisco, California somwhere in the late 50's to early 60's" and "He swam on different teams and was one step away from the Olymipics". - Mike Rosoft 19:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Istana Wakil Presiden is very poorly written, it's probably a good candidate for AfD but I wasn't too sure on the notability (obviously once it was drasticly cleaned up). Death Eater Dan (Muahaha) 21:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I cleaned it up. It's notable. Crzrussian 16:53, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

March 10, 2006

  • 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]

March 9, 2006

I tried to clean this article up a bit, changes are documented in the talk page. STILL NEEDS WORK. Gaius Octavius Atellus 2:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Foltx - Not encyclopedic in nature: no complete sentences, very little information given about the product besides a little bit of nutritional information. --Spring Rubber 01:21, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Article appears to be nonexistent? Perhaps deleted? Atellus 02:39, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Foster's Cup - Not sure if this even needs to exist as an article. Someone who understands the Australian Football League would be a great help in this article. Could this possibly a candidate to merge with the main AFL article?--Metros232 16:22 9 March 2006 (UTC)

March 8, 2006

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

  • Done by PeterNicholls on 8 March 2006. May still need editing for relevance, though. Atellus 03:40, 10 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]

  • Added in dates pertaining to his role as a cardinal. Is this what you had in mind? Atellus 16:43, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Apparently considered done. Tag has been removed and there are no comments from Jackiespeel about other tweaks that need to be attended to. Atellus 20:31, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Flanders (county)- one long paragraph with breathless sentences: could be divided up somewhat (and a few spaces added). Jackiespeel 19:34, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Done. Cleanup seems to have been already attempted but failed for whatever reason. Gaius Octavius Atellus 1:40, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Social interaction design needs tweaking and wikifying. Huge external links and see also sections, too. UkPaolo/talk 21:48, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Domestic terrorism is getting out of hand. See the talk page. Lambiam 21:56, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

March 7, 2006

  • I do not be understanding what saying the article trying is to. — Ilyanep (Talk) 23:17, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • My point is, exactly - reads like a failed Uncyclopedia article. Merge with redirect to the writer in question? Or someone who can translate the German version/summarise it better (have put a request in the translation section) Jackiespeel 16:39, 8 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]

March 6, 2006

  • Neo Communism improper tone, I doubt this is the most usual meaning of the word, uverified, POV issues --Wikimol 19:08, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Joint Sitting, Australian parliament, 1974 needs work on grammar and typos especially. Also on some style aspects as well as general information which could be explained better and with more background, better headings etc. Shadow007 13:04, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hiroshi Sugimoto needs some broader attention and an NPOV check. It's longer than a stub, but fairly thin on information. Carter 12:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Jazz dance needs verification of some facts and deletion of unverifiable statements if they exist there. It also may confuse different senses of the term, and it uses a fairly informal tone in places. --Officiallyover 05:43, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Anna of Kashin This article appears to have been translated into English from another language (most likely Russian), or written by someone with a somewhat limited grasp of the English language (no offensive intended). Some of the grammar does not follow correct syntax, and some areas are awkwardly worded Trojan traveler 04:06, 7 March 2006 (UTC) Rewritten. Dev920 22:54, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The_Causes_Of_The_Boom_In_The_USA This article states that protectionism was responsible for the US Boom in the 1920's--Even if true, needs cites and general clarification Sevesteen 04:53, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

March 5, 2006

  • New Nemea needs a good copyedit and also a bit of basic info like where is the place located? And should the company mentioned get an article of its own, if it doesn't already exist? Mona-Lynn 02:32, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article on Wildness is in need of attention. Currently it's not very encyclopedic or NPOV. Baiter 01:22, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The_Red_Pony needs to be grammar-checked by someone who is more familiar with the book than I (I haven't read it since high school.)
  • Hexis is confusing, lacks context, and possibly fails to present all sides of an argument. Hydriotaphia 14:37, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

March 4, 2006

The article Palace Barracks Memorial Garden is pretty poor & is copied from the external link that it links to. 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! Thanks, Spawn Man 00:08, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]


March 3, 2006

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. Either an article on the UK exams or appropriate links needed. Jackiespeel 22:00, 3 March 2006 (UTC) [reply]

March 2, 2006

  • 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]


March 1, 2006

  • 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]


  • Attachment disorder looks like something out of a parent's manual for the condition, not an encyclopedia article. The exact same text is repeated as part of Reactive Attachment Distorder, which also includes other (better-written) sections. The articles are already under consideration for being merged. I've given them both the "inappropriate tone" tag. Quinnanya 16:40, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Copyvio from Recognizing Attachment Concerns in Children By Dr. Becker-Weidman (scroll half-way down the page). 86.140.109.173 18:39, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

February 28, 2006

  • 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]
It's a bit better now. Did I sort the paragraph you were referring to? --Cherry blossom tree 22:41, 1 March 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).Jerzyt
I think I've done that one. You may like to check though.--Cherry blossom tree 22:53, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tech metal - Very sloppily put together. Awkward to read. Pertinent information needs to be kept together, instead of strewn about the article. Cparker 02:47, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

February 27, 2006

  • TOCA Race Driver 3 - various parts need to be sorted and displayed propely. --Thorpe | talk 18:46, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Marc Bolan - disjointed, needs proper sections and other various tidying. I'll try, but I don't know much about the subject and it'd be nice for someone a little better to help. rob 06:30, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Volcanic gas - reasons for cleaning tag: sections need cleanup, wikify technical jarbon, and perhaps rewrite some sentences so that it doesn't sound completely alien to a person who doesn't have a MS in Geology. --Ted 06:50, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • World Funeral - lacks conformity to encyclopedic standards
  • Academic Team - (was deleted due to lack of context and general non-usefulness of article)
  • David Aceveda - A clearer introduction to allow it to be more freindly toward those who have now idea about the show.
  • Wasserwacht - simply written in a bad english and incomplete... --edited by User:Imagine1989 10:59, 5 March 2006 (EST)

February 26, 2006

  • T'aarof - political theory (Eco?) strewn throughout the article -- needs to be rewritten in a neutral tone, with political theory isolated in a single, well-labelled section. David 03:04, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Article cleaned up and tags removed.--Lendorien 02:44, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • PokeRealm - unwikified text. There's also debate whether this should be included at all. Has been deleted. Misza13 (Talk) 19:28, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • List of Telecaster players - Loose criteria for inclusion, artists with questionable notability as Telecaster players, entries of little informative value, unalpabetized entries. Rohirok 00:15, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • List of screamo groups - Major problems with this article, constant bickering of whether of a band is screamo or not, people ignoring the 3 revert rule. I tried to get it where if you could verify a band's status as screamo from documented proof from other wikipedia pages or public and popular reference sources like magazines or music websites then you could put it on there, people ignored that. Major POV problems because one person says screamo and another says the band isn't screamo. 90% of the bands that are screamo dont' have pages on wikipedia and theres no evidence that they even exist, people could be making up bands for all we know. Please someone fix this mess or just delete the article. Patman2648 17:08 26 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Tor Henning Hamre – Incomplete sentences, no context, unwikified. Apparently about a Norwegian soccer player. It's even unclear whether there should be an entry for this person. Hydriotaphia 01:26, 26 February 2006 (UTC) [reply]
    • Article appears to have been cleaned up. Revisor removed tags. --Lendorien 02:48, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Shadowrun timeline - I find the the timeline and its context not meeting the usual Wikipedia style. There is something about the current style that isn't really for wikipedia. --Hannu 22:01, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I attempted to clean up the article a bit, getting rid of all the year subheadings so the TOC isn't so unwieldy. Still needs a Shadowrun expert to look over to clean up. There's a lot of sentence fragments as well as a complete lack of a decent intro paragraph to explain the content to put into context. --Lendorien 19:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

February 25, 2006

February 24, 2006

  • Willam Christensen - Content is extremely unencyclopedic. No links, category, biased is an understatement, written by someone with an unblelieveably loose grasp of the concept of an encyclopedia. --VolatileChemical 04:25, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Contents were a copy vio. Removed copy vio text, added summary, cat and stubbed. Someone else will have to fill in the details. --Lendorien 23:03, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

February 22, 2006

  • Petrodollar warfare - Content is unencyclopedic. Facts are disjointed and relevance not explained. Relevance of M3 withdrawal unexplained. --Mmx1 22:08, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Channel NewsAsia - only two paragraphs of prose and length lists of anchors/correspondents, most of which are unwikified. The last section may also be biased. Johnleemk | Talk 15:23, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reticular fiber - Insufficient context. Not written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia entry. It was marked for cleanup but I was unable to find this article here so I added it then marked it off after I edited it. --Gravitate

February 21, 2006

  • Suluk - appears to be a copyvio based on the notice at the bottom, but can't find it. Also lacks formatting and encyclopedic tone. - Mgm|(talk) 11:25, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's partly from here and partly from the existing article Tausug people on the same subject. Redirect to the latter? (Although that itself needs cleanup, a major part being a text dump from here). 86.141.84.87 03:13, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Timothy Treadwell tagged Feb 4th. Originally a very POV article. Some cleanup done, but needs sources and background checking to make sure details are correct. --Lendorien 22:41, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
CLeanup completed --Lendorien 02:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Gladio need a serious house cleaning, see talk. Ten Dead Chickens 21:25, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Johnny Foglander - needs wikifying (if it's about a person notable enough to be kept). created by same user as the abovementioned Phil Pringle article. (Entheta 21:48, 21 February 2006 (UTC))[reply]
  • Controversies about the Boy Scouts of America needs a lot of work. Consists of mostly unorganized "snippets" vaguely related to controversies. Alecmconroy 03:57, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • John Hogg short, almost stub, possibly notable enough, but the name of the subject changes to 'Ludwig' in 2nd paragraph, and it has been like that since the article was created, so it's not obviously the result of vandalism. DogsBreakfast 10:45, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tetsuya Chiba information all over the place, not enough wiki links for an outsider like me to understand what it's all about DogsBreakfast 11:38, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yachats, Oregon needs cleanup. Someone has turned the page into their own personal tourism brochure. PDXblazers 06:14, 20 February 2006 (UTC) <--done[reply]

  • Kenosuke Sato- At the very least needs extreme copy-editing; difficult to assess other issues because a) I am not an expert in this subject; b) The article is incomprehensible in its current form. May have been machine translated using e.g. Babelfish and cut 'n' pasted verbatim, and hence copyright issues could also be a problem (although may just have been ported over from the Japenese Wikipedia). Salvageable but needs work. Badgerpatrol 02:41, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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 &nbsp; 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]

  • Submerse - The article reads like a band vanity, but in fact it does make a claim of notability per WP:MUSIC (the band has made several tours in multiple countries). Still, it (especially the last paragraph) needs to be cleaned up for more appropriate encyclopedic tone, as well as ome general cleanup. - Mike Rosoft 13:34, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Virginia Cavaliers (historical). Not sure if this is copyvio: while source is a 1904 book, text is cut&pasted from here. Anyhow, it's unencyclopedic and biased: "But the people, who had been long imbibing the spirit of liberty in their forest home, at last rose in rebellion against the tyranny of their cynical old governor" and more in that vein. Tearlach 08:45, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • That's an original research dump that an anonymous user repeatedly adds to the article. I reverted boldly and drastically back a December 7 version before it was added. Article could still use attention. -Acjelen 18:20, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • All pages contributed by User:Edbon3000 (contribs). A whole min-project could be made for these. Edbon3000 has been adding dozens of stubs for Filipino actors and directors from 1950 and earlier. All of them need help with formatting and grammar and categories. None of them have any sources and I haven't been able to verify any of them. It's been suggested in WP:ANI#User:Edbon3000 that Google simply doesn't show people in Filipino cinema but someone (maybe me) will start Afd'ing soon if some source isn't found. He seems to have stopped adding articles and isn't responding to anyone on his talk page. Good luck to whoever feels brave!  :) —Wknight94 (talk) 20:05, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say it was worth persevering. I was able to source Alessandra de Rossi, and "Alecs Bovick" was unfindable because she's actually called Aleck Bovick. Whether they're all notable is another matter. Tearlach 10:08, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Generation X. Appropriately enough the "13th" Generation article needs to be cleaned up on this 13th day of the new year. In addition to the rampant un-sourced opinion, the article is full of messy prose, much too much parenthetical clauses, and some rather bizarre running commentary in brackets throughout.

likely notable - agreed, but the article certainly inflates her notability. "World renowned" doesn't exactly square with the Google hits ("Idit Harel Caperton" 61, "Idit Caperton" 243, "Idit Harel" 771). Tearlach 16:34, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Assyrian people This article is in desperate need of a clean up to get rid of a clear POV. I can't list all the problems, but read through the article and you'll see a some clear examples of POV problems and lack of sources. There also seems to be some discrete attacks at other races. The Assyrian people is still a very misunderstood topic, and I'm afraid this will make things worse.

  • Christian Bartolf - This page needs to be an article, not a résumé. It's basically a list of minor works and writings and unnecessary facts. I've cropped it all out before but it keeps coming back. --Foofy 05:59, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Phynn - needs to be cleaned up and rewritten. The entire text is pasted from Phynn's website, and although I believe it is fair use and the original author is credited, FAR too many link tags are used (and most are to articles that do not/will never exist) and the user who "created" the article has tagged his name at the bottom. SlickDizzy 03:37, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
fair use - no way. Quoting verbatim the whole biography section from Phynn's website is well into copyvio. Tearlach 13:28, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, you learn something every day. I've paraphrased the entire entry the best I can, though I lack the knowledge or authority on the subject to really make it unique. However, it's better than original. SlickDizzy 02:48, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sinead Quinn - article nominated for deletion instead of cleanup. Need to be re-written in an encyclopedic manner, wikified cut out some repetition of information and some sources cited. Evil Eye 01:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cultural references in Pokemon - The section on the 8th movie needs a cleanup. I have absolutely no idea about its factual accuracy and therefore do not doubt it, but it does need a re-write by someone who knows about the topic (hence why it's here rather than copy-edit). Jezze 03:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • OpenDocument licensing - This article is not Encyclopedic, it is just a sum of citations and does not present clearly, each side point of view. The material is probably there, but it needs to be put in a proeminent position with citations to support each point of vue. The citations must be also be done according to WP standards i.e in italics or/and with identations. Please help, this is an important and controversial issue --Khalid hassani 12:53, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Chrysler minivans - This page is a mess-missing capital letters, confusing, incomplete. There needs to be more clear distinctions between the Dodge, Chrysler and Plymouth models. I don't know enough about the topic to fix the article, but perhaps the article should be split into three: Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country, and Plymouth Voyager. Airline 20:34, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I would suggest splitting it into three pages as well, since all three models have different histories; the Voyager was a full-size van before 1984 and the Town & Country name was used for various models since 1941. --ApolloBoy 03:16, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's one of a group of articles (see also Brazil Antarctic Geopolitics, Chile Antarctic Geopolitics and Antarctic South American Geopolitics recent developments) that I think need looking at.

  • 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]

  • 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]
