  • Political media
    • maveric149 May 9, 2002, because : discoherent and off topic
    • Eclecticology May 17, 2002, because : It could start with a definition
      • Gianfranco May 18, 2002, says "wait a minute" because : A "cache bug" was fixed to restore a version that tried to improve it.
    • RobLa May 25, 2002, because : This is not an accurate description of "politcal media". Do a Google search for "political media" to see common use. "Face The Nation" definitely qualifies as political media, but not under current Wikipedia definition. This page is more accruately titled "Government propaganda"
    • maveric149 June 15, 2002, because : It's a mixture of several different articles, intermixed with nonsense
  • State
    • DanKeshet May 19, 2002, because : the first paragraph was written by six committees
  • Wikipedia:Canonization
    • maveric149 May 21, 2002, because : needs organization and checking to make sure it applies to current software;
  • Turki bin Faisal
    • DanKeshet May 26, 2002, because : huh? some geneology would be nice...
  • Neil Kinnock
    • GWO -- very short, and pretty low quality. Wholly unimformative.
    • I've put in his leadership dates, corrected the detail about who followed him (no-one remembers John Smith). It's not fixed, but it's a tad better. Tarquin June 9 2002
  • Archimedes' screw
    • The Anome May 27, 2002, because : this needs so much more written...
  • Digital video
    • The Anome May 27, 2002, because : DV and digital video in general have been conflated in this article
    • Koyaanis Qatsi July 13, 2002, because : I think the DV/MiniDV problem could be fixed easily enough by adding info on other digital video formats--unfortunately I wrote this article before I knew much about them, and still know basically nothing about them.
  • Ernest Hemingway/Frederic Henry
    • Karen Johnson May 27, 2002, because : partly a personal entry 'i think' etc
  • Side stroke
    • Karen Johnson May 27, 2002, because : this needs modernising! It comes from the 'boys own book of sports 1900 edition' and it's a quaint essay.
  • Max Weismann
    • maveric149 May 28, 2002, because : more information on this guy is needed so that people outside of academia can understand why he is important.
  • Comments
    • the Epopt June 4, 2002, because : it is just barely conceivable that a useful article might exist under this name (made singular, of course)
  • History of painting
    • Daniel C. Boyer June 6, 2002, because : Needs massive expansion and besides just going through the history of painting should mention anti-painting tendencies such as Miro's "murder of painting" and the advent of conceptual art, &c.
  • Aesthetics
    • Daniel C. Boyer June 6, 2002, because : Should also mention anti-aesthetic tendencies and movements, most importantly surrealism.
  • Federal Bureau of Investigation
    • Daniel C. Boyer June 6, 2002, because : This whole article reads as if it is from an FBI brochure! Shouldn't there be a more NPOV presentation of criticisms and accolades, the views of critics and defenders?
  • Augustus III
    • Bryan Derksen June 8, 2002, because : There's something odd going on here, Augustus III gets linked to Augustus II.
  • GiveTheAuthorAChanceDebate
    • jheijmans June 11, 2002, because : this should propably be moved to some place sensible (orphan)
  • 1200 BC
    • Bryan Derksen June 13, 2002, because : needs template
      • Do we need this page at all?
  • Words that should not be used in wikipedia articles
    • jheijmans June 14, 2002, because : is not a encyclopedia article - probably belongs in meta
  • Flub
    • maveric149 June 15, 2002, because : needs more info or it goes back in the deletion queue
  • Ukonline.gov.uk
    • maveric149 June 15, 2002, because : Needs more if it is to remain off the deletion queue
  • United States of America/OldPage
    • maveric149 June 15, 2002, because : This material is more wikified than the material on the subpages and is slightly different. This poses a version control issue that needs to be resolved.
  • William Shakespeare/quotations
    • Deb June 15, 2002, because : Needs a wider selection of quotes and a more logical arrangement
  • Black helicopter
    • Daniel C. Boyer June 17, 2002, because First the phenomenon or alleged phenomenon should be described, i.e. what is different about the "Black Helicopter" than any old black helicopter (i.e. that people claim to see them without running lights, or large formations of them, or at a lower than usual altitude, or in places one would not typically expect to see a black helicopter, or the helicopters look different than usually-seen helicopters, or whatever the claim is), and then the [alleged] significance and the different theories about them laid out. Not very precise the way it is.

    • jheijmans June 18, 2002, because : orphan old userpage, but has no new userpage to redirect to
  • postage stamp
    • Daniel C. Boyer June 20, 2002, because : Cinderellas should be further explained. Or a separate article should be written about it.
  • Goblin
    • Toby Bartels June 21, 2002, because : Little more than a dictionary definition now. Needs history of the concept in folklore -- Tolkien is just a small part of this.

    • JeLuF June 23, 2002, because : The article is from 1911 and does not cover post-colonial history
  • Red Army Faction
    • jheijmans June 24, 2002, because : good page, but what where the objectives of the RAF? The page only says they were leftist and supported by the DDR.
  • psychedelic
  • Commandos
    • Daniel C. Boyer June 24, 2002, because : Mentions game when it should only mention game after the people, commandos.
  • Marxist-Leninist
    • Daniel C. Boyer June 26, 2002, because : Needs dramatic expansion and should be "Marxism-Leninism".
  • Matja
    • jheijmans June 27, 2002, because : is this a user page??? it's an orphan, anyway
  • Weimar Culture
    • jheijmans June 27, 2002, because : what is this orphan? Guess it'll have to be moved/merged with Germany/culture or so...

  • Sighthound
    • Karen Johnson July 6, 2002, because : All of the subpages of 'sighthound' need to be either extended or removed - they contain no information at present.

  • Rigging
    • Marj Tiefert July 19, 2002, because : picture needs complete annotation, also is an orphan, no text
  • Ambient calculus
    • jheijmans July 19, 2002, because : there's nothing much about the topic, and these lists should be removed I think
  • Electron configuration
    • JeLuF 15:51 Aug 3, 2002 (PDT), because: old atomic model (ca 1910), not mentioning suborbitals, influence of electron configuration on behaviour of atoms (valence), ...
