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 very old articles, just to deal with them and get them out of the way. 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.

Streetstudio - NPOV, probable self-promotion. Created by anon user who did some spamming, but the "Press" section of their website suggests it's notable so not VfD material. JamesMLane
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - I've updated this quite a bit, but in the process I realise it may need a bit of attention. I've basically got the data in the article, now it needs to be presented by one of our talented wikipedians! Also: fill in the blanks of information that's missing.

Nissan 350Z - Stubbish and unwikified. POV without really saying much about the car itself.

I really think the cleanup header needs to come off this, because this is the official Wikipedia style for the rambot generated articles, and there are tens of thousands of articles which match this format. RickK

Photo is my copyright if any. I produced the photo from a copy of a flyer the Saudi Police posted (ephemeral publication - public domain) I reprocessed it to remove any possible steganography and the black background (which I considered potentially negative in connotation). What this article DOES need is a BETTER photo, as this could just as easily be frank zappa.Pedant - By strikethru, deprecate voodoo copyright legal advice by non-atty. --Jerzy(t) - I fixed the 'flow around the image issue' . could use a follow-up in a few days to see what else surfaces on this guy, it's a new story. I'm done with it, unless I spot more actual information.. """ok now?"""Pedant

Namesdays in Finland and namesdays in Sweden - a lot of text that completely neglects to state what it is talking about, thus devoid of meaning
Atomic weight - Atomic weight is a misuse of the term weight really, common in chemistry but not strictly accurate. Consider moving to Relative Atomic Mass as the primary definition with others redirecting.
- No, no, no! Title must conform to current usage. If this concern is worth any attention, it calls for adding an encyclopedic comment at Atomic weight that explains the history of the term and the opportunity for confusing beginning science students. --Jerzy(t)
- Yes. Most physicists use the term correctly (google the IUPAP site for example), most chemists nowdays in Europe do also. Admittedly IUPAC often misuses it but increasingly less so with time. Anyway, I would suggest that the title should conform to currently accepted usage, not current popular usage. However, this is why I opened it for discussion rather than changing it myself, restricting my changes to merely commenting in the article that it is considered incorrect. Xrikcus

Cleaned up Rajput (formerly Rajputs). Noticed that Meenas and Kshatriya need some work; they are awkward reading, use some antiquated terms, and lack NPOV.Tom Radulovich
- I made a stab at Kshatriya fixing punctuation and some awkward sentences. Still needs some fact-checking (for example I'm not sure that Buddhism could really be called a "Kshatriya" religion) and work on the NPOV. Article also wanders quite a bit from the subject. --LeeHunter 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I also did some NPOVing on Kshatriya. Now we have the situation that an anonyous editor keeps re-introducing POV stuff without giving sources even referring to the talk page. Could somebody go over there and see what can be done about this? Dbachmann 09:38, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Unreleased Madonna Songs - title breaks naming conventions, merge with Madonna (singer)? , needs copyeds, wikifications
- Update: the article has grown, but it has not improved. It's haphazard, disorganized, and unstandardized, containing just enough bold text to be unreadable. I gave up on trying to improve it after adding the first caption and realizing the sheer scope of such a project. I've never seem so many BMP files — without descriptions, copyright information, or even evidence of relevance — in a single article. (I left a message on the talk page of the user responsible.) The combined article and images are larger in size than the Wikipedia:Votes for deletion page. Someone removed the {{cleanup}} tag in the process of making their "improvements"; I have restored the tag, and I'll keep it on the article until one of the contributors finally reads this page and understands what cleanup means.
I don't know what it should be named, which information needs to be merged where, and what needs to go, but if any article needs cleaning up, it's this one. --Ardonik 21:06, 2004 Aug 5 (UTC)

XML schema and XML have complementary content on the same topic. The information in both is accurate and fairly well-written (if I do say so myself), but a merger is probably warranted. Complicating matters is the need for disambiguation from W3C XML Schema, formerly XML Schema (I moved it today), and the fact that the current disambiguation strategy may not be canon. See Talk:XML schema. - mjb 08:59, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Vampire lifestyle - survived VfD, consensus among those voting "keep" was to send to cleanup. How it can be cleaned up, or if it's possible, is beyond me. -Sean Curtin
- It was a very contentious VfD debate. I think the consensus, such as it was, among the "keep"ers was that some stripping and huge clarifying that this is a fantasy/belief/cult/make believe thing is ok. Not sure, but it was just barely a keep by my count. I think people wanted outside references added, too. Good luck to all you brave souls who undertake it. Geogre
- It would be a waste of anybody's time doing anything to this, only one place for it, and it's not on Wikipedia Giano
- I'm pretty saure that several of the people who voted "Keep" never looked at the section of vampire that makes this article redundant. If this page is still on cleanup by September it should be placed back on VfD. -Sean Curtin
- While I don't participate or personally know anyone that participates in such, I'm aware that it is a real phenomenon, sophisticated enough to be called a subculture. I think it does deserve an article, and more than the little snippet on vampire. Let me clean it up, and then see what you think. PMC
Government of Ashmore and Cartier Islands - needs wikified
Hayato Kobayashi and Fraw Bow - huh?
No Limit Records - substub
Art rock Devolves into incoherent jottings; dubious claims here, too.
- Did a little cleanup. Marlowe
Beatification - miles and miles of stuff from The Catholic Encyclopaedia of 1914 which went through hardly any edits. Needs trimming, resizing and transformation into a Wikipedia article. + Working on it now. I've been knocking the dust off those 19th c. sentences & wikifying as I go, but it's a tough slog. Geogre

Carlos Lacerda - unwikied stub, not well written. blankfaze
The Giraffes Very poorly written to the point that it is almost nonsensical.
Taurus bass pedal synthesizer - looks like a cut-and-paste, but I can't find it. Obviously incomplete, no wikis, POV comment at the end. Similar article from same user deleted as nonsense. - And no article on Moog Music either.
- It would be nice if there were an article on Moog that covered the man, then one on the company that could cover their various enterprises, which includes a list of bass synths. A solo, nonsense, article on one pedal doesn't seem like a good clean job. Geogre
Semantically loaded Author complains about his poor writing in article ;)
The Verlaines - NZ music band. Wikify, more context, dates. Lupo
La Polla Records - fan article about a Spanish band. Mentions something about "repression from the Spanish government", but doesn't explain it any further. Lupo

Multilingual Speech Input/Output: Assessment, Methodology and Standardisation - unwikified, no context, cut'n'pasted from a website, although I think the source is public domain

Quantum meruit - unwikied stub. blankfaze
Ketogenic Diet mostly not on the diet but musings on why it isn't scientifically accepted
People empowerment - crummy mccrummitycrum. unwikied. blankfaze

Myristicin - stub and general mess
High Fidelity Magazine - unwikified stub
Accrued interest - signed, unwikified essay
Scientific enterprise - formatting is all over the map, article repeats a lot from, say, scientific method, and reads more like an incoherent rant than an encyclopedia article. There's some interesting stuff here but it's VERY hard to make any sense of, what with the majority of it being small sentences, strangely indented, and without much connection to one another (and lots and LOTS of re-definitioning which can be accomplished better by adding wiki links). --Fastfission
Bait loop - unwikified and poorly written as a how-to Mindspillage

Christian views of women - one great big mess of non-NPOV material, quotes Biblical phrases but doesn't look at context, has many weasel terms and could really do with better balance and factual accuracy.

H.O.P.E. - basically nothing but external links and links to Wikipedia articles. Get rid of that and what's left needs wikification.

Guided by Voices - was listed here and deleted even though cleanup has not been accomplished.
Slavoljub Penkala - copy ed; changing name doesn't naturalize; all batteries have anodes, so WTH is an "anode battery"?, etc.

Mr Buu and Chaozu are kiddie-wikis about Dragon Ball Z characters. Unwikied, unformatted...icky.

Carrie Chapman Catt - rambling, unformatted
Franco German locomotive - bizarre. Reads like a copyvio, but no Google hits and has nothing whatsoever to do with a locomotive. - Lucky 6.9
- Found this source, however can't decide whether it's a copyvio or not. The term "Deutsch-französische Lokomotive" (for the franco-allemand alliance in the early stages of the emerging Europe) has been a quite common metaphor... --Palapala
- Deleted most of the article, since source of copyvio is an alternate history page describing an European history that never was, despite the common metaphor. -- till we ☼☽ | Talk 22:15, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

E.F.A. Gaunt - unwikified - blankfaze
Black People's Convention - besides needing wikification, it's a POV rant
Varvara - unwikified. blankfaze
Battle of Bannockburn - Format issue. There's a table and a couple of images ... the question is how to get a left margin or gutter between the text of the article and the table to prevent the article text abutting the table; and how to get the two images centred beneath the table, rather than right aligned.
Tokomaru bay - Bad article about a bay in New Zealand. Needs to be wikified and tidied up, as well as moved to Tokomaru Bay. blankfaze

Class War POV such as "oppressive Thatcher Regan axis strangled world trade"

Tupac Shakur - very breezy, fannish style. Should reference the subject by his real name, not calling him "2Pac" or "Pac" as if he was the author's friend.

Londo Bell context? and Ra Cailum

Milotic - Pokemon creature. Lots of info, but needs de-kiddie-wikifying and useful wikis added.
Ion N. Petrovici feels like translation, needs comprehensification. Also someone who knows Romanian might want to merge/demerge with ro:Ion N. Petrovici.

List of hardcore punk bands - unwikified, nonformatted... redundant?
- Redundant and impossible. There were hundreds and hundreds of them. This list is mostly LA, but there are all the Minneapolis, DC, NYC bands, and then there are those from the non-major centers, then there is the UK, and then there is the question of what the point of this list is hanging off in space like that.

Whoever's handling this one, don't forget to mention that "George Sand" was actually a woman writing under a man's pseudonym, and that Steve Martin acted in/directed a modernization called "A Simple Twist of Fate". This is also the title of a Bob Dylan song. Crossref, crossref, crossref. --The Iconoclast

Simon Phillips is an article on a drummer. An anonymous user replaced the contents entirely. I think there are two unrelated drummers of this name, I've edited the article crudely to include both of them, but someone with knowledge of the area could improve it hugely.
Fire breather I discovered that this page was redundant only after I created it (see Fire breathing).
- Shoot! I kind of wish it weren't a redirect, since, according to Shelby Foote, "fire breather" is a term in use in the US Civil War to refer to the secessionist politicians before the war. The term is also generally used for ranters, too. Don't know if these usages are worth an article, esp. since it would be historical dictdef, but it's worth thinking about.

Robert Abbot unimproved since August 2002, I tried to have a go but the academic text was too much for me. -- Graham :) | Talk + clarified somewhat, but information about his actual significance is still needed. Vardion
- Difficult case. The people he's confused with are significant, and I could write about them, but this fellow just wrote books. It's also pretty confusing in the text: he persecuted non-conformists (Puritans), and he's a Puritan? 17th c. language of schism is pretty torturous, and these non-conformists might be Anabaptists, etc. In other words, I'm not sure it can be cleaned more, but the subject passes the significance test. Geogre 13:39, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Kachikoshi - this may be terminally a dicdef: a winning record in some unspecified type of competition. If someone has a clue, there might be article potential here, or replacement with a redirect. -- Jmabel 22:11, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC) + contextualised (sumo wrestling), but I don't know if it can ever be more than a dicdef - it basically just means "winning more matches than you lose". Vardion I added a bit about the significance of getting kachikoshi but think that there should at least be a link to here from (sumo wrestling). Perhaps the prizes are more important than kachikoshi? --Sekizaru 21:59, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

JCreator - reads like an ad. -- Jmabel

Superficial anatomy - "from an old encyclopedia", in need of wikifying since November, 2002
- Eek! This is not only obsolete and cumbersome (who searches for "superficial anatomy?"), but it's from an "old encyclopedia" that dates from the era of racial types. CU seems a waste, unless medical schools are still teaching a class called "Superficial Anatomy" and a MD wants to fill in this article with a description of such a course of study. Geogre
Kunststiftung_NRW - substub, mess.
- Probably VfD, since all Google links are in German. It seems to be a museum in Austria. The German Wikipedians could fill it out, but if the English Wikipedia users need this article, they need more context than a non-German speaker can provide. Geogre
Shithead (game) - needs wikification -- merge with Needs major CU or VfD as trivia. (I play a game called "Richard Nixon": do I get to make an article by that title?) Geogre

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.
