Please read Wikipedia:Cleanup process for instructions on maintaining this page. There may be more suitable pages for requests, see the resources for collaboration box on the right.

For articles that just need wikification, you should use the {{wikify}} template. See Category:Articles that need to be wikified for articles that need wikifying.

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 helpers work on leftovers and older articles, just to deal with them and get them out of the way. See the cleanup calendar for requests from previous months. 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.

  • 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)
  • Ryan Merriman - substub, needs lots of work. (For notability, check IMDB) [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 21:00, Oct 2, 2004 (UTC)

  • Hunter's bend - needs reformatting and expanding - Darksun 09:34, 2 Oct 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)

October 1

  • Dry-stone wall - needs wikification, headings and paragraph formatting. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 21:22, Oct 1, 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.
  • MTGO PDC - unwikified. Maybe move to full title? Also Pauper magic. RickK 07:38, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
    • Also added merge notice to MTGO PDC. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 09:34, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
  • Fermentation lock - probably needs to be rewritten by someone who knows about brewing. —Stormie 06:48, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)

  • Single chip microcontroller - unwikified text dump. RickK 05:23, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
    • "A microcontroller is a microprocessor optimised to be used to control electronic equipment (see embedded system). " This lead isn't very helpful in defining the subject of the article. Microcontroller and microprocessor are almost synonyms and therefore not useful in defenitions. Could someone knowledgeable rewrite? Also, it still reads like a long list of models of chips. Still text dump. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 07:13, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)

September 30

  • Scapular - Text dump from 1910 Catholic Encyclopedia needs wikification; dates should be reformatted, facts checked (are all of these still used?) Smerdis of Tlön
  • Military history of Rome - At the moment the page is little more than a collection of internal links. (May need reworking as a category listing.) "Roman army" section was copied from another article - perhaps belongs to Roman legion, and/or Legionary. -- Mike Rosoft 18:22, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

September 29

Somewhat tidied up. Which of the suburbs/areas mentioned are important? Jackiespeel 17:10, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

|(talk)]] 14:54, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)

  • Special relationship talks about US-British relations, and has just a bit of POV. Also, terrible title, as it doesn't give a clue what the article is actually about. - RedWordSmith 03:10, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Alan Yeung is working on his second novel so marginally passes the notability test, but article is still badly formatted. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 02:03, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Juggernaut (comics) - Yikes. Some good information, but it's spread out all over the place incoherently. Sadly I don't know enough about Juggernaut to do much about it. Ian Pugh 00:58, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • did some copyediting. Someone still needs to put useful stats in infobox or table. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 10:47, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)
      • Nice job. My only problem at the moment is, there's something strange about those stats left over from the previous edit. Any idea what they are based on/are they taken from another source? Ian Pugh 00:29, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
        • Confirmed with a comic fan friend that these stats are from Marvel Universe Handbook Master Edition, though I haven't seen the book myself. Added to entry. Nathaniel Guy 03:04, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Affiliation - amazingly outdated 1911 encyclopedia article - needs massive revision
  • Psychic vampire - is this folklore? If so, give examples/cites. "Entertainment" category seems bogus.

September 28

violet/riga (t) 19:28, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Nguyen Van Lem - I'm okay with the general facts of the article, but the name (supposedly his real name?) Bay Lop is news to me. Google image search for Bay Lop doesn't pry up the Adams photo. knoodelhed 07:46, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Kurdistan#Turkey second paragraph smells of POV against former Turkey government. Has loads of loaded language. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 10:10, Sep 28, 2004 (UTC)
  • Gives and Gets needs expansion from anyone who knows about the subject matter, and one of the sentences makes no sense either grammatically or otherwise yet seems somehow unavoidably essential to the article's content. ffirehorse

September 27

  • Bill Ballance - needs formatting - Did some formatting, wikifying, etc. ffirehorse
  • Plan Colombia - Needs formatting most of all. Images, sections.

  • Vanity contains an entry on "Vanity of Vanity 6" - needs sorting out and, most likely, taking out to another article. The bottom section might be better in another article too. violet/riga (t) 22:43, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • I split off the information about the singer/actress, revised and wikified it, and created the new article Vanity (performer). MK 00:00, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Georgia Author of the Year Award - wikify and reformat. violet/riga (t) 21:30, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • List of schools in Canada A list of lists, of which only the "A"s seem to have been listed.
    • I think that this can be safely cut down to the articles in the A section unless someone indexes some other schools soon. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 18:18, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Marawi City - has lots of blank sections. Needs expansion. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 12:38, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Charley Pride - needs lead section that shows notability and needs headings. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 09:04, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Francis Bacon - This disjointed article is a long 1911 encyclopedia chunk with bizarre statements at bottom under "rumors", and almost no philosophic coverage. Cool Hand Luke

  • Mike May - doesn't explain how he is notable. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 03:18, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
    • He might be the first ever patient to receive treatment based on the pioneering stem cell research. Can someone fact check? [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 07:48, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • 10NES - POV check; e.g. talks about Nintendo's "tyrannical policies".
    • Changed some of the wording to make it a little less POV. Still needs cleanup? Luigi30 00:24, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Ultras--needs a rewrite from someone familiar with the scene. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]]
    • The article also seems to be aimed at the difference between Ultras and hooligans. Needs to have POV language cut. Will make an attempt (not familiar with scene, though). [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 08:04, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
    • Done complete overhaul of article. Still needs expansion by editor familiar with scene. Comments on this edit are welcome on my talk page. I'm especially interested in whether people think it's NPOV now. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 09:50, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)

  • Esperante - needs some wiki-formatting, maybe infobox. Mgm 20:45, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Efr - Should be at EFR (or spelled out), but first someone who knows a little Dutch (I suppose that's Dutch) needs to take a look and see if it needs to be here, check some of the translations, and do a serious POV check (several times I found first person pronouns). [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 19:50, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Tithe - Many of the external links appear critical to tithing, but nowhere in the article does it say that tithing is controversial. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 18:19, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)
    • I have modified it, see if that covers the controversy. KeyStroke 20:00, 2004 Sep 24 (UTC)
  • Ketogenic diet - Seems POV explaining why some doctors are "hypocrites" or greedy for not prescribing it. CoolHandLuke
  • Political drama - needs formatting and wikifying - Solipsist 14:00, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Have tidied it up somewhat. Could do with more examples being added. Jackiespeel 16:16, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Method overriding (programming) - needs context, formatting - [[User:Cohesion|cohesion ☎]] 09:13, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)
    • Did some work on this one. I took out the parts that seemed to be Java-specific and threw in an example for good measure. However, I'm not confident enough in my wikitude yet to claim to have cleaned this up sufficiently. Doozer 06:10, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Mu Dong - self-aggrandizing poppycock
    • +tightened text, added stub notice, category, and some formatting. Still needs expansion and fact checking. - Mgm 08:44, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)
  • Aversives - Needs major work. Unverified, long lists, spelling, opinionated. Rhobite 02:45, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)
  • USS_Hopewell — 1) Too long (46 kB), 2) not wikified almost at all, 3) no sections. 4) Is the text copied from somewhere? I wonder about copyright issues... --kooo 02:13, 2004 Sep 23 (UTC)
  • Viva Las Vegas - Needs to be incorporated into an actual article and NPOVed.
  • Breakfast Television - article about a Canadian breakfast TV show. Was left in a half-finished state sometime in August. I've deleted all the incomplete sentences, but not knowing about the show it probably still needs work. See the edit before mine for the "half finished" version. -- Chuq 05:14, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

September 22

  • USA Roller Sports - Wikification, tightening of prose.
  • Main Street Electrical Parade - a badly overdue article, but this is somewhat rambling and difficult to read. I may tackle this one later. - Lucky 6.9 23:30, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Collation - greatly overemphasizes computer science usage, which it predates considerably.
  • The Military Revolution - needs sectioning, other cleaning -- Whosyourjudas 21:04, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Thomas Saaty - stub bio with publisher's sales listings appended --rbrwrˆ
  • Thek - dicdef, somewhat idiosyncratic --rbrwrˆ
    • I'm vfd'ing this. -- Jmabel 06:37, Oct 3, 2004 (UTC)
  • Tom Clancy's Net Force - Deadend page, wiki, needs to explain if it's a series, novel, or both. - RedWordSmith
    • I find that since Tom Clancy is the author his name should be removed from the title of the page. It should be part of the definition in the first paragraph. Also some more info on the original Net Force would be appreciated. Net Force Explorer's should have an own page. Mgm 20:17, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
      • Tom Clancy isn't the author -- he's the creator of the series, and other people write the books (and video games). The "Tom Clancy's" is an official part of the titles. RickK 00:43, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)
      • In that case, leave the title as is. But I'd like to see more about the plot and characters of the books and a seperate page for Netforce Explorers. :) I don't know enough to do it myself. Mgm 08:26, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)
  • Margarete Maultasch - Medieval Benelux history; facts are there, but poorly translated and choppy.
  • Tidied up - needs dates. Jackiespeel
  • contributions by 81.136.0.101 - all revolve around a company called banjax, and include links to it. The people do seem somewhat notable though. - [[User:Cohesion|cohesion ☎]] 09:31, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Self-verifying theories - math content, needs context, formatting. - [[User:Cohesion|cohesion ☎]] 09:22, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Bell's theorem - full of un-<math>'d math and &nbsp;s
  • The equations are mostly simply enough that HTML does the trick perfectly well. I converted one, but I don't think it's necessary to convert the others. [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 21:36, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Presence Information - Written with SIMPLE protocol in mind, and had XMPP loosely tacked on later. Rants around the page, some things are discussed more then once.
  • 102.2 Jazz FM - no actual content is in this except a small box of information - Ta bu shi da yu 03:46, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Carlotta Monti - unwikified text dump RickK 02:52, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Edward Pawley - unwikified text dump. copyvio? RickK 02:41, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Simply Irresistible - unwikified text dump. copyvio? RickK 02:37, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Phazon - huh? RickK 01:52, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • The Best of Eddie Money - needs album formatting RickK 01:34, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
    • I formatted it the best I could; there's not enough information for an album infobox. It's still a stub, but I don't think it needs cleanup anymore. [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 23:00, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Richie McCaw - unwikified text dump. RickK 01:19, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
    Wikified. [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 21:55, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Oton Gliha - unwikified text dump. RickK 00:53, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
    Wikified. Still needs help from someone who knows something about art. [[User:Aranel|
    • Seems partly copied from the internet, see here [[2]] JoJan 19:58, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

September 21

  • Ukrainian language - History section is disproportionately long. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 22:32, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Jeffrey MacDonald - large amount of content in one long runny paragraph - Tεxτurε 21:53, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Lipson - is this a town or a road? if it's a road, it doesn't need its own article, if it's a town, where is it? RickK 21:52, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Listen Up - no context. RickK 21:21, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • The long love letter - title should presumably be capitalised, needs a solid introduction (what sort of thing is this - TV, radio, anime...?) and some wonderful Japanglish to be fixed. I like the phrase "suffering from loan". --rbrwrˆ
  • Uranus (planet) - Formatting needs to be improved so there isn't a huge gap beside the table. This is a pain particularly when printing an article. Take a look at the Earth article, which is formatted correctly.
    • This was caused by the second image putting itself below the table. Removed the pretty but unimportant picture. violet/riga (t) 21:42, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
      • It was caused by a rendering issue in internet explorer. I'm using firefox and the old version with the picture works fine for all font sizes. --Aqua 04:17, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Kultur - just a list of internal links [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 19:08, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Septum (brain) expand: article reads 'a dividing structure in the corpus callosum.'
  • Chinese politics probably duplicates material elsewhere. Might need a merge/redirect to somewhere.
  • Relieve/Temp is just odd.
    • probably transwiki to wikitionary. not sure what to do about the quote though. --Aqua 04:22, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Bathing - needs wikifying, some history and better definition. - MGM 09:43, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC) 09:23, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Yeah! "A women's [bathing] suit often consists of two pieces that cover the top and bottom portions of the body" — what, the head and the feet? --Bishonen 02:06, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Hypotonia - unwikified medical article. —Stormie
  • List of controversial new religious movements - serious grammar and spelling problems, especially in the "Primerica" section. Szyslak
  • First class (computing) - one liner orphan article with no particular context or clarity. I know I've heard the term but I can't remember what it means, and don't particularly want to google for a phrase as common as "first class", or I'd fix it myself. —Stormie
    • I've fleshed this out. It should now be clear to a person with a moderate mathematical / technical background, but should still probably be made clearer and more colloquial. -- Jmabel 01:17, Oct 3, 2004 (UTC)
  • All Flesh Must Be Eaten - unwikified mass about an RPG. —Stormie
  • Epistemic theories of truth - unwikified, needs formatting --Whosyourjudas 02:25, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Did my best. Still needs work. — Gwalla | Talk 03:48, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Jefferson C. Davis - Runon sentences, have no clue what some of it is trying to say. I did my best. --Golbez 02:02, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
    • I did some minor clean-up but could do with a bit more help. --Gerald Farinas 02:33, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Adonara - Some sort of infodump. — Gwalla | Talk 02:50, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Limited liability partnership -- substub; needs expansion by someone who is a lawyer or accountant; note in particular this means different things in different countries -- The Anome 09:17, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

September 20

  • Mirza Masroor Ahmad - may be unsalvagable Deus Ex 21:41, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Manipur - the Problems facing Manipur section and the text below needs copyediting and accuracy verification
  • Jorvik - article contains material of very dubious accuracy, and needs checking over by someone with good knowledge of the subject - MPF 18:25, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • XrML - what is this? Deus Ex 18:01, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Viola Slaughter, Apache May Slaughter, and to a lesser extent John Slaughter - I cleaned up the last one a bit, but I keep getting distracted from what I'm working on. The former two need the wiki links checked over -- the author seemed to link a bunch of non-notable things that will never have articles. Some spelling/grammar issues, as well as an almost non-existant paragraph structure. Also, the articles are kind of "chatty". CryptoDerk 17:54, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)
    • I did some minor linkfixing and copyediting, but left the structure alone. — Gwalla | Talk 02:46, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Prekmurska gibanica - consensus on vfd was to list on cleanup -- Graham ☺ | Talk 10:26, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Mini 4wd - wikify. Lupo
  • USS Kephart (DE-207) - wikification, integration into some scheme probably - [[User:Cohesion|cohesion [[User_talk:Cohesion|☎
