Just In

June 18

Produce only an image

June 17

Ulbricht Doctrine - wikify, format, explain context

Boston accent phonology - New article I've been working on, fairly complete, but complete enough? Poccil

Zsuzsanna Budapest - I'm not entirely sure what this means.

ZiRC - Ad or information? You decide.

Zhuge Liang Campaign of subduing the Southern tribes - fairly horrible, lacking context

Azygos vein - needs a WikiDoctor to fact check & link it, or VfD it.

Attainder - dicdef

Atrophy - dicdef

Atlanta class cruiser - very empty, but links to some fullsome examples

Asian Highway Network - unwikified and style problems; links to but maybe distinct from (maybe not) Asian Highway

Medicinal psychology - One big unwikified headache.

Ariadne (software) - unwikified. May have hint of Advert about it

Aquatics at the 1924 Summer Olympics - is there any pattern for Olympics pages? This one seems scanty. Candidate for redirection?

American Liberty League - Possible copyvio, unwikified, style problems. US labor history.

Alfred Worden - Astronaut, cut & paste from NASA, unwikified.

Magneti-Marelli - ad?

  • They're a pretty well-known company, so I think they're worthy of an entry in Wikipedia.

Phosphodiesterase inhibitor, Phosphodiesterase - quite a bit of revision/expansion/correction is in order

Tradewars - wikify

I gave it the POV-ectomy, turning it to an article about the Trade Wars game (which goes by any number of names, etc.). I'm not sure that it's worth keeping, though. If folks want to clean & improve it with specific dates and iterations of the game, that would be worthwhile. Otherwise, this is probably a VfD candidate. Geogre 02:12, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Studley from VfD, needs fact checking, expansion

Tintin and the Golden Fleece - sub-stub

Alexandrov topology - please edit this so a numbskull like me can actually understand it... -- Graham  :) | Talk

Visual short term memory I have justed added my first article. I would be grateful if people could read through it, wikify it, shorten it etc. There is a pre-existing article on short-term memory, but this is a somewhat different topic and my feeling was that it was better keep two separate pages, but if anyone wants to try merging the two that would be great.

Shosholoza unwikified, needs rewriting. Orphan.

Management by Jugaad Huh? The writing completely obscures whatever it is that this is about. Any Indians want to clarify or nominate for deletion, if not?

Grant Nicholas unwikified

Franjo Liklin - what does this title mean, and what does it have to do with the subject of the article?

Since they were all the same user, it's unlikely that someone just made a mistake & mistitled the article. The subject and content seem entirely unrelated. A way to substitute "famous Croatians" without competing with the original art.?

Bombing of Guernica -- I just translated this from the Spanish. It's probably more POV than is generally acceptable for the English-language Wikipedia. See further notes at Talk:Bombing of Guernica -- Jmabel 04:42, Jun 17, 2004 (UTC)

June 16

Buttons and Mindy possible copyvio (but google can't find it), nevetheless needs lost of wikifying., also Slappy Squirrel by same user.

WiDEN Help, telephony folks: if this is true, then it needs CU. If it's not true, then it needs to go to VFD.

Imperial College Electrical and Electronic Engineering Society - wikify and NPOV

Layer 4 router - context, expand

Thefacebook.com notable?

William Crawford Sherrod collection of source texts.

Done by an anon, too. The man rates, but not his autobiography (which is there twice). (sigh) A cleaning is a lot of blanking. Any Civil War folks want to?


Wolfsheim's Discography format, context, unwikified

World in Common notable?


Christopher McCandless wikify.

Russian name - the style is too personal and casual.

Homeschooling is entirely POV. Needs an expert rewrite.

Famous political quotations Wikify, at least. Wikibooks for things like this? I love commonplace books, but this gets into Bartlett's territory, doesn't it? Geogre 13:19, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Gantzs Wikify. Confirm. POV.

Festa wikify

Needs other "festae," too, as it's also a Latin word, and this article bleeds into 'fete' and 'feast days,' doesn't it? 206.205.115.3 15:35, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Music of Malta wikify

International Risk Governance Council wikify

Slave beads wikify, check for copyvio -- checked, not a copyvio

Microreactors wikify, check for copyvio -- checked, not a copyvio

Indian Attorney General unwikified

Spirituality in The 21st Century not meaningful as far as I can tell

  • It isn't. I think it was deleted once before and now it's back. -currently on VfD. DJ Clayworth

When a Man Loves a Woman and Jason Scott Lee - More BS from the B-Movie Bandit. Still can't get the cleanup boilerplate to show. I've listed this user on the "vandalism in progress" page.

  • You can tell that it's the same person due to the constant use of the present tense: "So-and-so B-movie-actor stars in so-and-so movie fifteen years ago." TheCustomOfLife 01:25, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Simmern wikify, check for poss copy vio, maybe in German

Barbara Behr wikify, fact check

Yellowstone Plateau wikify, check for copy vio

Gba roms, wikify, complete rewrite, check the url for usefulness

  • This page looks like chatspeak from one of the many warez friends I know. I'll rewrite. KirbyMeister 09:30, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    • Finished rewrite, please check page for accuracy. The original page contained a myth as fact, advertized a roms website (illegal) and also had poor grammar. KirbyMeister 09:52, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Explosive limit needs work. I can barely understand what it's aiming for. EddEdmondson 13:54, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

June 15

A Time for Choosing - A speech. 4,626 words. No wikilinks. +to VFD DJ Clayworth

Fuck Marry Kill - Remove first peson point of view and keep the facts about the subject

USS Roanoke (CL-145) - Empty table

+ Added some tech specs, compiled from multiple Googled sites, some still missing Lucanos

Joanne Whalley - A random page search landed me on older "gem" from the B-Movie Bandit. Can't get the boilerplate notice to work, however.

Balan K. Nair - Substub

Peter I of Russia - needs to get sections like in Catherine II of Russia

Alexius Petrovich - awful bunch of text

Paul of Russia - sections like in Alexander I of Russia

Nicholas I of Russia - sections

Alexander III of Russia - sections like in Nicholas II of Russia not just bunch of text

Alison Stewart - unwikified, could do with expansion Nick04 18:48, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Megatokyo forums - POV near-nonsense that's also listed as a possible VfD. Tried to add cleanup boilerplate, but the system's acting up. - Lucky 6.9 18:18, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Media controversy POV & limited to videogames

Wendy O. Koopa: Substub about a character from a videogame. Does this entry do anything? Geogre 14:19, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

CineMagic (film festival): Substub, just a pointer to a website. Geogre 13:57, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Paper chromatography of amino acids: I'm really unsure about this. Is it a paste from a lab manual? Is anyone going to go to an encyclopedia & fill in all that in the search box? Is it a how-to and therefore subject to VFD? Can it be cleaned up by a bio-specialist filling in what paper chromatography has done for the world? Geogre 13:50, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Innerspace substub B-movie; just a pointer to imdb: what could anyone learn?

Giorgos Karagounis wikify

Angelos Basinas wikify, copy edit

NAS battery wikify, poss copy vio

Basil Blackwell sub-stub

Superman's powers unwikified + links added (Smerdis of Tlön)

Bruce Dinwiddy needs formatting. Possible capivio. Academic Challenger

Hamburger Earmuffs - Need wikification, expansion, and a pov-ectomy. Might be copyvio, but I don't think so. Gentgeen

Alkaline battery - Hoo-wee! Bordering on nonsense. - Lucky 6.9 06:40, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

The Witches of Eastwick - from our favorite B-movie troll. TheCustomOfLife 02:37, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

K1A1 - needs wiki format, folks knowledgeable about tanks/military/warfare

Jump, Little Children - unwikified, unformatted and darn near unreadable.

  • I doubt that many of the events in this article happened the way the contributor writes them. Another entry says that this band plays at a restaurant in Charleston (I'm assuming South Carolina?). This is a vanity article and I would move to delete. TheCustomOfLife 02:13, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    • No, they're a real band--published, albeit regional. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]]

Al Gore's views - Needs copyed for tense

Midwest POV

Henry Ossian Flipper Article places the Mexican-American War (1846-48) in the period between 1882 and 1921. Must mean either Spanish-American War (1898) or Pershing's 1914 Punitive Expedition into Mexico, but which?

June 14

51forth Doesn't look like it should have it's own article, or should be expanded. Without further information about why this variant is special, it looks like it should just be a part of the main Forth article Andy_Christ

Kimberly McCullough - substub number eight. It would be nine, except one appears to be nonsense. - Lucky 6.9 00:13, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Elizabeth Pena, Daphne Reid - This is nuts. Another substub or two, anyone? - Lucky 6.9 23:47, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Magus (Chrono Trigger) - wikify.

Phil Harris, The Jungle Book (1994 film), Tim Reid - More substubs! Phil Harris deserves a lot more than what this fool credits him with. - Lucky 6.9 23:41, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Liga Polskich Rodzin - needs work.

Occator can someone verify this? + Yes: Confirmation from this website

Sexual development 2 links

Needs redirection to Human sexuality methinks.

Tracey Ross, Kirsten Storms, David Canary, Circle of Friends, Embeth Davidtz, The Mask of Zorro, Capitol (television) and The City (soap opera) - My leetle amigo was rather busy on June 5th under the IP address of 69.0.53.254. Found these on the "short pages" page when I was looking for something else for TheCustomOfLife. - Lucky 6.9 21:59, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

To be fair, Capitol doesn't seem to be from the B-Movie Bandit...that was there when I started writing soap articles. TheCustomOfLife 21:54, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Betcha it is. The person keeps signing on with a different proxy, sometimes more than once a day. Same guy/gal. - Lucky 6.9 21:59, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I felt like I didn't phrase most of "The City" correctly when I was writing. There's more info there now but I'm leaving it in cleanup until someone else can add more, or fix what I wrote. TheCustomOfLife 22:17, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

The Jungle Book 2 and Always. Ah, today it's B-movies instead of soap operas and Nickelodeon voice actors! More substubs that started (as they always do) as nothing more than the film title, year of release and principal actors. Whee. - Lucky 6.9

Tolerance has been edited by various folks, but still has an uncomfortably polemic feel.

Subliminal message is very pro a subject that almost everyone believes to be tin-foil hattery.

Stanislav Petrov lessen PoV

Tomislav Nikolic and Boris Tadic - one of these men will become president of Serbia, but they don`t have good articles. Nikolic article is stub, and Tadic's article has to be written as text not with * * * and to add some more information

Serbia unusually low amount of information about one country. just intro+subdivisions

RahXephon language, format

Cao Cao Unification of the North - Wikify, context, (re)unification?, maybe better title

Richard Lyons - sub-stub

Guttenburg - Language needs contextualization, improvement, wikification, verification, and moving to a ship's name ?S.S. Guttenburg? "HMS Guttenberg"?

Lord Basava - Wikify, language cleanup

Also need to check facts. Is this the same person? I cannot find information about anyone else, but the website contradicts the date and place of birth. --Caliper 17:12, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Type 82 Bristol class destroyer - Wikify, language, POV Nick04 10:42, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Done, then reirdected to Type 82 destroyer, with the former's content on the talk page. Andy Mabbett 13:34, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Ursula Reitemeyer of any importance?

Humbug Mountain only a picture

Luigi Denza - a stub about what appears to be a 19th century musician, but which seems rather incoherent in its current form. Bryan 06:16, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Liberal Elite, elite media -stubby, POV. -Sean Curtin 05:47, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC) + Moved to Liberal elite, standard caps. (Smerdis of Tlön)

Legend of Zelda: Wand of Gamelon - Second-person nouns used, incomplete sentences. Second sentence (although the information is correct), is in need of a rewrite ("such a flop"). The article is also somewhat a stub. Shadowlink1014 05:43, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

  • Cleaned up. Still somewhat stubby though. - MykReeve 22:22, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Sabians - non-standard layout, non-encyclopaedic tone, no internal links, talk page stuff dumped in the main article, and an edit war, oh my!

Paula Jai Parker, Donna Peele, The Newton Boys - when will these end? - Lucky 6.9 02:13, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Walter Nichols - the character that Jonathan Goldstein plays. Another sub-substub. - Lucky 6.9 02:05, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Jonathan Goldstein - another happy little entertainment B-list substub on which someone made a credible effort to fix. We now go from soap operas to live action kid shows on Nickelodeon with this one. - Lucky 6.9 02:01, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Charles D. Gemar is an astronaut bio, unformatted dump from NASA.

June 13

The Peace Maker - needs wikification

Done. It should make sense now. Geogre 15:57, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Subconscious mind - has "issues" and possible NPOV.

Muhammad Thakurufar Al-Azam needs fact checking.

King Zhuangxiang of Qin - NPOV, wikify Muriel

Charles Coughlin probably de-PoV & remove source material to WikiSource

Vanir/Aesir theory Reads like someone's pet theory. Needs organisation and serious NPOV work if it's worth saving. -- Derek Ross | Talk

  • Work product of User:Kenneth Alan, whose pet theories have been significantly refuted, bu who continues to post this information as if it were fact.
Weird. The idea that the Vanir were gods of an indigenous people who were conquered by the migrating Germanic tribes, who brought their Aesir with them, goes back to Snorri Sturlusson in 1200 AD. This author takes this (which he doesn't like) and wants to read it all as a political battle inherent in ethnicity today? Very, very weird. "Drink deep or touch not the Pierean Spring," as Pope says. Clean up would mean stripping to the bones or deleting the article. When I studied Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse, we never heard that Snorri was a crypto Nazi. Amazing! Geogre 22:31, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Haakon Lorentzen huh?

Disambiguate half a dozen cities in Prefectures of Japan from Akita to [[Akita, Akita|Akita]].

  • Redid links on Prefectures of Japan; a whole bunch of them pointed to redirect links. Also, I moved the half-dozen cities from a page named (capital) to a page named (capital, prefecture), but I didn't do the due-diligence of fixing all of the old links to the (capital) pages. -- Bcordes 01:32, Jun 16, 2004 (UTC)

Julio Dam unwikified <--Done, could use quick readthrough by someone with biblical knowledge. --Caliper 22:58, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

United States Army Medical Command unwikified

Happiness by Miyu huh? nothing links to whatever this is

USNS Kingsport (T-AG 164) only a picture

Alive (story) style, facts

Diethyl benzyl benzoate rubbish?

Brehon Laws unwikified

List of Ankara metro stations, nonsensical microstub that could just about be speedily deleted if no one wants to clean it up. Ambivalenthysteria 04:23, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Samkhya cosmology - doesn't explain the term, depends on an external link to do most of the work

WZebra - wikify and expand

An ad and VFD? Geogre 13:59, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

June 12

Salimus - what fictional universe is this from? Needs wikification

Khotan -wikify

White Base needs attention from a Mobile Suit Gundam fan. As do the rest of that user's contributions. Please?

Islamic views of homosexuality - questionable material about same-sex marriage

Technology acceptance model mostly unwikified, orphan, copyvio?

Shimazu - needs rewrite...

Growgame isn't English--is this significant enough? Not sure what language it's in, possibly German or something akin. Meelar

Nice guy syndrome - survived VfD but needs serious revision--NPOV, research or other evidence to substantiate claims. -The related Attraction pathology also needs serious NPOVing.

Kim Criswell - Tiny stub for a stage actress and singer. She's notable enough to escape VFD, except there's not much point in an article this small.

Sayeret Matkal - seems to stray somewhat from NPOV. I don't know enough about the topic to cleanup properly. Also, much of it seems to be a copyvio from http://www.specwarnet.com/world/matkal.htm - some of which has been substantially edited, but much hasn't. - MykReeve 17:12, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Ishibashi Chie - Stub at present; the lady is a voice actress in anime, but the only information given is that she's female and works for a particular company. Listing it on cleanup to flag the attention of anime fans. Geogre 14:13, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Prime Minister of Afghanistan - all it says is "Afghanistan currently does not have a Prime Minister" which is beside the point - historically, it did, and it needs information, like that of the Iraq one. Ambivalenthysteria 10:42, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Listed past Prime Ministers, still needs work though. supadawg 15:57, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Arsinoe IV - Egypt, around the time of Julius Caesar. I hope the scholarship is better than the writing. Not even consistent on the spelling of the person it is about. -- Jmabel 08:32, Jun 12, 2004 (UTC)

Cobra probe - er, what is it? Needs copyediting, context, wikification, and information. Sub-stub, pretty much.

Global Business Network - Aside from one bit of obvious POV (which I'll fix) there's something that just seems wrong about this article. Someone help?

  • Certainly not our standard style & might be self-promotion. Still, I'm sure there is an article here, and I know that enough of these people are connected to one another that their inclusion in such a network does not strain credulity. There's an article here worth having, even if this is not yet it. -- Jmabel 08:34, Jun 12, 2004 (UTC)

The Ataris turn timeline into prose, fact-check carefully (has been target of Michaelish disinformation vandals in the past)

  • Have sucessfully turned timeline into lovely prose. Still needs fact-checking.

More than a week old

June 11

American Eagle flight 4184 - hard to understand.

Ex parte Endo - Apparently important court case, relating to Japanese-American internment during World War II. Article is stubby & unwikified (& needs copy edit). -- Jmabel

Akmal - Is this verifiable? No Google hits for "akmal tightrope seattle". -- Jmabel

Shimizu Tetsuo - super substub: birth & death dates are the same; cannot find any information on the author by Google to correct with (authors found on Google are scientists). Geogre

Free networks - POV, sub-stub, might be obsolete

Port Adelaide Enfield - about a place in Australia, looks promotional as it stands. -- Jmabel

Express - poorly written stub about a clothing company. -- Jmabel

Kuwaiti oil fires - there is no article about the fires themselves, just a dispute between two scientists on their possible impact on the environment.

I took a swipe at it. I will leave it to the nominator to remove the "dispute" and original content, if my revision is sufficient. Geogre

Security Armored Express - looks self-promotional, but might be encyclopedia-worthy. Needs rewrite if it's worth keeping. -- Jmabel

Shape dissection - written like textbook, not encyclopedia article. If it's a copyvio, it's not of anything Google finds, so probably just clean it up. -- Jmabel

Blag looks more like a candidate for vfd than cleanup. - Lady Lysine Ikinsile

Dudd Dudley - unwikifeid lower half, make sure there are no copyright issues: it looks slightly suspect to me. -- Jmabel

Ralph Lane - needs wikification, could be copyvio. -- Jmabel

Love Hina incidental characters== Huh?

Stephen Nichols another substub for our endless amusement. - Lucky 6.9

New Flyer - Stub. Who feels like expanding it? Grunt

June 10

Birmingham Wire Gauge Company I copy edited this a bit (from awful up to bad). It needs fact-checking, expansion, references. The IP address of the original creator is one of a series used by User:Nick Boulevard. See also Talk:Birmingham. Andy Mabbett

Eiko Kadono, Second paragraph of this stub is almost incomprehensible (author of paragraph writes: "She published Kiki in 1985. She's a very kind and generous person.", but then goes to explain the mother's kindness and generosity.). Somebody who knows the story needs to clarify exactly who the kind and generous one is, and give an appropriate example. See also Talk:Eiko Kadono.

William Campbell is credibility-challenged.

Overachievement is a 2-sentence sub stub, and if NPOV'd right now would end up as 1 sentence. Needs content.

Grant Show substub from the anonymous moron, pretty much useless as is.

Myalgic encephalomyelitis - Cut and paste from technical medical source.

Aswang - POV, no wikis. Aswangs are apparently preternatural creatures in Filipino folklore, but the guy wrote this as if they're real.

Moral core - I'm not sure what this article says, or if it's even a concept. I think it should be merged with something else or clarified as to what it means. Just sloppy.

Count Charles Andreas Kinsky - needs wikifying, fact checking, and it reads as if it might come from some external (print?) source. And who is "Father Octavius"?? Lupo

Control theory equation example 1 Certainly a useless title; I suspect this should be integrated into Control theory, the only article that references it. -- Jmabel

American analog set unwikified

Guardo - Medium-length article apparently put through a translation program. In a few places the translation makes no sense. SWAdair | Talk

June 9

Civil Rights Act of 1957 - at best, an unwikified mess that begins in mid-thought. At worst, a copyvio

The Heatskores - Copyvio? At best, an unwikified, POV screed.

Quality engineering - cut and paste from external site. Needs work. - From [1], could require a complete rewrite, probably better to start from scratch. - porge

Vespin Love Kit seems like legitimate band, if small. Currently bordering on vanity page

Aramaean same author as the more substantial mess at Chaldeans

Broadway Is My Beat just a stub but needs wikification (and content rephrasing?)

June 8

Departmentalization Strangely headered. -- user:zanimum + re-headered, cleaned up text a bit, but still needs some work - porge

Enjoy Incubus Just a track listing in HTML (non-wiki) format. sub-stub as it wasn't a particularly history-changing album. --Long, Tall Texan

Doncaster East needs context, wikification

Mary White lacks context.

Levantine Arabic - sub-stub

Polynesian mythology - little description, mostly a jumbled unnavigable list.

Steve Zodiac - Currently a fanboy entry. Person seems real (not VFD), but needs massive NPOV and sensibility edit.

Personal luxury car Desperately needs attention. (1) Rename to American personal luxury car and (2) a real good edit - Disagree on point 1, rename reverted. Name is not ambiguous; articles do not need tagging in title with nationality of term usage. Plz discuss on talk page. Point 2 taken; improvements certainly possible. —Morven

Joe Ryan Abu Ghraib diary April 2004 source text

Luchenbach - see notes on its talk page, + now wikified and linked to Luckenbach, Texas, but still needs a little attention.

Granny knot - Strange formatting

Yuming - malformatted

Meenas - Good content, poor English - needs puntuation, spelling and grammer tidied up and wikification.

Wolf Szmuness - wikify, probably some misc attention needed

Andrew L. Harris - needs cleanup, copy editing and condensing.

Culmer family - format language

June 5-6

Menahem Pressler POV

Directive - disambiguation, stub or VfD? See Talk:Directive --Hdk 14:14, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)

"Transport on The Amazon" - navel gazing

  • Moved this to a version without quotation marks (redirect in place). It needs merging with Amazon River or simply deletion due to prattle. JFW | T@lk 16:37, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Girlfriend Of Steel - anyone familiar with Evangelion? Does this exist?

John Danforth needs fmt work, re-structuring, more on accomplishments in U.S. Senate, more on recent UN Ambassador nom

Oropharyngeal lesion - wikify, possible copyvio

Mini Pato - copyedit

Fresnel integral -insert equations & images nicer, text needs to flow, is now a jumble

Ranked Majority Defeat Disqualification - ugly lack of wikification

How to Heal Traumas -- Probaby just needs some TLC, emphasizing from the beginning that the articles concerns psychological (not physical) traumas, moving further from the base copyrighted text (see article history), etc. SWAdair | Talk

June 4

George Kalafatis needs some more context

June 3

Boynton_v._Virginia - source text in last half

FNN DATE LINE I cleaned up everything I could actually understand, but it was poorly translated from the Japanese article and some of it is incomprehensible. Probably needs someone who can either read & understand the Japanese or research independently. -- Jmabel 09:07, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)
