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.

I'm dating myself here but she was big in the late 1980s as something other than Paul Simon's wife. I'll try to expand. ffirehorse 02:00, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Why would a ferret do a weasel dance? I think it would do something 'stoatly' different like a ferret dance! If a Zoologist does not clean up and explain, some one should delete but be careful because they bite Giano 23:36, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Someone has copied the first two sentences of the Catholic Encyclopedia text (public domain, so no copyvio), and left out the 15o or so sentences that actually explain the concept. I've expanded it; it's an interesting concept for those of us who are so inclined. I haven't removed the cleanup tag - it makes a lot of sense to me, since it fits nicely into my view of the Incarnation, but could anyone with less knowledge of theology see if it makes any to them? Cnyborg 10:41, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Makes sense to me. Good work. ffirehorse 15:15, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I think this needs to be split in two; the article covers both a mythological/semi-mythological people in Finland, and an ethnic minority in Norway. It might be appropriate to mentioned the other meaning briefly in each article, but I think they deserve separate entries. I can turn it into two coherent entries (expanding the bit about the Norwegian minority somewhat), but I need a suggestion on naming them. Cnyborg 10:41, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Cleaned up and clarified a lot, but still needs a good lookover from someone really expert in supergravity/superstring theory or related fields. Bhugh 02:10, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

It seems to be about skater Eva Pawlik (sp?) - The name at the bottom of the page, Roman Seeliger, is that of the author of Die Wiener Eisrevue. Ein verklungener Traum ("The Vienna Ice Revue: A Lost Dream"), 1993. [1]. I suggest the text may be from this book.

Katonah is nearly blank after removing the Michaelisms. Could someone fill in the blanks and write a stub? Guanaco

Creationism and macroevolution is POV, rambling and badly in need of formatting. - Lucky 6.9

Ajou University and Yonsei University - both quite messy (the right margins go over the edge of the page, unless you are blessed with high resolution and a large monitor!).

Sewage diver - not sure how to ask about this one on cleanup... - Ta bu shi da yu 16:09, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

California Suite - Neil Simon play and movie; needs detail & wikification

Great work, y'all. Geogre 01:05, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Stone, Staffordshire - unwikified. Reads like a copyvio (complete with author's name!) - Keith Edkins

Konflict - substub (May need to go on VfD)

Smart windows -substub

Mass (liturgy) - Can we have a better definition at the start? And why can't we have the theology behind the mass in this article? I don't see why I should have to look up a different site for this information - if it's important (as you'd hope it would be) then lets put it in. Lastly, this got moved from Roman Mass to Mass (liturgy), and the mover says that he did this because of emotional baggage of the phrase. He then says that Mass (liturgy) is a less accurate phrase that Roman Mass. If this is the case, can we have it moved back to Roman Mass? - Ta bu shi da yu 10:21, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

It sounds right to include the theology behind the Mass, but in that case I would advocate moving it back to Roman Mass - if the theology is included, it should be made very clear from the beginning that this is the Roman form and understanding of Mass. I think it's sometimes unwise to move something to avoid emotional baggage in the title, as the article then often becomes more limites. There is no mention of the Anglican or Protestant Mass, even though the word is used in those churches too - the title should reflect that. Cnyborg 11:11, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Sevendust - unwikified. Notable? Copyvio?

Tophet: almost all is unwikified

Peter Lewis - libel, literally: notable figure. Can we make it NPOV by ripping it up?

Manuel Pacquiao - needs a lot of work

August 20

Psychiatric Inmates' Liberation Front - notable?

Harbin Institute of Technology POV, needs wikification, maybe copyvio. Reads like a prospectus. Keith Edkins

Ben Bolt: unwikified

Damon Stoudamire - needs wikifying, NPOV help, and general grammar work. --DMG413 10:22, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Our Very First Show - seems like some kind of article about Full House but has nothing to do with this topic and nothing links here - according to List of Full House episodes it is the correct title for the very first episode, so cleanup or vfd may be more appropriate. (moved from article)

August 19

[[Andr%E9s_Bello]] - better formatting

Alpha Chi Alpha - brace yourselves for the flood - needs a lot of wikifying, has a HUGE photo. Is this fraternity ONLY at Dartmouth?

Lindsey McDonald (Angel) and Kate Lockley (Angel) - unwikfied, POV, misspeelings

Broadcast Storm - huh?

Giant salvinia needs a taxobox Susvolans

Raspadura - knife's edge of VfD: title probably misleading (Sp. for "scraping"), entirely dependent up.jpg|

More than a week old

August 18

Liuhe Bafa. Looks like a machine translation.

Organisasi Papua Merdeka - Not really NPOV. Aecis

August 17

DJ Bobo: unwikified

Martin Rees - replace quote with more optimistic one. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 00:53, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC) I disagree. As cosmologists go, he's a pretty pessimistic one; I say leave it in. Mashford 16:52, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Life_and_Times_of_MC_Beer_Bong - notable? [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 00:03, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)

Fu (weapon) - real? Neutrality 22:01, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The Chinese word for "Axe" is indeed pronouced as 'Fu', but such an entry is hardly encyclopedic.

Corneil and Bernie - wikify, copyedit

I've wikified, copyedited and NPOV'ed the text a bit, but it could do with some attention from someone who knows the series. Aecis 22:16, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Whitehat - wiki, copyedit - Mattingly23 17:25, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I got most of the way through cleaning up blackhat, and then realized that hacker has a more-than-sufficient definition for both whitehat and blackhat. And the page for greyhat is not even a substub. Does it make sense to just remove the three *hat pages and just make them redirects to Hacker? Bcordes 21:05, Aug 20, 2004 (UTC)

McKinley Memorial Mausoleum - wikification - Mattingly23 14:13, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I did some wikification and clean-up. But I'm wondering if the copy for this has been possibly in part verbatimed from somewhere else (it reads like a press release). ffirehorse 16:41, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

List of Apple Computer CEOs. Not sure if this should be merged with Apple Computer. Currently unformatted.

Erik Poppe - wikify. Thue | talk

Swedish neutrality during World War II - needs further cleanup and some sections describing the background on other topics needs to be broken out an possibly integrated elsewhere. A general article on Swedish neutrality policy (1809-present) is also lacking and segments here may be broken out and used as a backbone. -- Mic 11:39, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Finland and Globalization - seems to be a paper or article written for another purpose and then dumped on wikipedia. May be possible to transform into a Wikipedia article or be broken up and integrated into other articles. -- Mic 11:20, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Australian Involvement in the Vietnam War - last one for the day. Needs NPOV, cleanup, fact checking and better structure. A good article to work on though. - Ta bu shi da yu 11:12, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Béqaa and Liban-Sud need better English (and expansion). Lupo

Cocaine - this had information merged from Cocaine addiction, however this page was marked as NPOV and as needing attention. Could we get people to check the merges? The merge was sort of inelegantly done! - Ta bu shi da yu 06:39, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Magic circle - has two meanings, second one added by newbie, fmt wouldn't be enough because of vagueness ("has to do", "stuff") - cesarb

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. My suggestion is to get the material from the govt websites, NPOV and clean them up and put them in the new article. Phew! This is a long explanation for cleanup! - Ta bu shi da yu

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.

See Talk:XML schema. - mjb 08:59, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
