Every entry on Wikipedia deserves attention. But some deserve tender loving attention. If you come across a page that you think needs a lot of work, list it here if:

  1. It needs serious attention from someone familiar with the subject, or
  2. You have no idea how to approach it

Before adding an article here, please check whether another collaboration mechanism is more appropriate for it.

Basic use guidelines:

  • Please add entries to the top of the appropriate category.
  • Please date entries. This makes it easier to judge when pages no longer need attention. Undated entries may be arbitrarily removed. You can sign & date at the same time by inserting ~~~~ (four tildes) after a comment.
  • Please fix articles that have been listed for a while first. This helps reduce the lag time between the time an article is listed and the time it's fixed.
  • Please indicate the reason for listing a page. Pages listed with no reason given may be arbitrarily removed because another person might not understand your intent.
  • Please add {{attention}} to the top of the page.
  • For each article you add to this list, please try to fix an article already on the list.

Removal procedure

If you check an article on this list and you are sure that edits have fixed the page to be about Wikipedia average in regard to defects, then remove that article from this page. Be sure to note the removal in your edit summary.

If you think that an article has been fixed to be Wikipedia average but you are not sure, then make a comment underneath the article's listing on this page so that someone else can doublecheck your perception that the article is Wikipedia average.

Anthropology, ethnology

  • Inca Empire - written in a fairly casual style. --Eequor 21:53, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Pashtun - lots of information added and deleted by 63.166.37.229 -- needs more than simple reverting.
    • did some work on June 28 Marlowe 21:05, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Ethnomethodology is rather confusing to someone who doesn't know anything about ethnology. --Khym Chanur 07:41, Mar 10, 2004 (UTC)
  • Chysauster Ancient Village still needs expansion and possibly NPOV. -Sean Curtin 18:10, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Architecture

  • Architecture I would like some other opinions on the Architecture page, original author KRS seems to be a bit AWOL. Also, page seems to be inappropriately categorised on the main page under technology (I recommend society) but is under "arts" when I browse the separately, I don't understand why. Chwe 23:44, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Semi-detached -- needs some historical & sociological data, and also a picture. Anyone living in a semi-detached, please go ahead. Wikikiwi 22:14, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Biology, anatomy, animals, plants

Anatomy

  • Chest - matter is copied from an old encylopedia. There is so much that can be written. Jay 10:49, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Erogenous zone needs attention. (Sounds dirty!) Original author wrote front matter, concentrated on the female organs,, then forgot about the rest. --Long, Tall Texan 09:48, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
  • Superficial anatomy used to contain content of an old encyclopedia (now on Talk:Superficial anatomy), now a stub that needs looking over from someone that knows more about biology/medicine. Rvollmert 09:32, 2004 Aug 20 (UTC)

Biology

  • Genetically modified organism - huge NPOV problems, incoherent.--Eloquence* 21:36, Apr 19, 2004 (UTC)
  • Charles Darwin's views on religion, mess, originally just quotes. Dunc_Harris|☺ 21:17, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Recessive gene, which uses a lot of jargon that's probably correct but also needs to explain what it is/does in English. Elf | Talk 23:49, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • I added a bunch of stuff, I hope it's better now :) Zarxos 01:46, Aug 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Mitochondrial DNA - needs a rewrite. At the moment it has very little to say about what Mitochondrial DNA is and how it differs from nuclear DNA. The new research showing it is _possible_ to inherit Mitochondrial DNA from the father is interesting, but should be more of a comment towards the end of the article. Maternal inheritance is still far more important. -- Solipsist 09:03, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Botany

  • Monocotyledon states that the taxon should now be called Liliopsida. There is however a redirect by that name. Could someone do the biz for me (delete and rename) ?? Thanks, GerardM 19:53, 10 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
    • The class should be called Liliopsida. The group is called the monocotyledons, both as a common name and as a as a formal name for the clade. No rename should take place.
      • Indeed the class should be called Liliopsida. However, this is the same as the class (!) Monocotyledons. The latter is te more common and widly known name. The official name however, is Liliopsida. This change of names is one of many in an attempt to create a more systematic nomenclature (St. Louis version of ICBN. Since Monocots is still widly used, I suggest to keep the name. Eef (A) 18:58, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Zoology

  • Bos - I did my best to clean it up, but ITIS conflicts with the page and other parts of Wikipedia and I am way out of my depth. Also check the redirects from the species names; do they point to the right thing(s)? grendel|khan 21:32, 2004 Aug 8 (UTC)
  • Seahorse - could use some reformatting, what to do with this seahorse list for instance, my knowledge on seahorses is limited. --Solitude 15:03, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Spotted moray contains useful information but needs wikification and formatting, plus additions by someone knowledgeable. Cecropia 02:46, 4 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
    • Still a stub, but probably could be removed from this page. 21:20, 13 June 2004 (UTC)
  • Bradypodion and Lepidophyma - list of red links. What is their common name? Doovinator 22:00, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Is there anything to say about white horses from a biological point of view? |l'KF'l| 11:15, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)

Other

  • Afterimage - Do you have any pictures to put in?? Make sure you have read carefully.
    • I've re-written the article to make it more clear. I'd like someone to check over the explanation of why afterimages occur, to see if the explanation makes better sense; I had a little trouble putting that into my own words. It's better than it was, though. Joyous 03:08, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Structural alignment is vague; needs more info; should be more specifically named (perhaps Protein structural alignment --Stewart Adcock) +sj+ 09:52, 2004 Feb 22 (UTC)
  • Involuntary control of respiration - unwikified and reads like its been cut directly from a medical text. --Pm67nz 09:25, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Passes the Google test for copyright infringement. Message sent to user regarding source, no reply expected. -Smack 00:02, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Categories

Communication

  • Communication - Needs work as an article. Needs lots of work as a subject link from the main page. Zigger 16:48, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • reorganised Peter Ellis 03:31, 4 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Callmanager - Apparently a Cisco systems software product, this article is extremely informal, probably written by a bored Cisco employee. Kevin Saff 20:54, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Telephone - Mess of "related articles" needs subdivision in some orderly manner. (Excellent article cluster; overall revision also needed -- article could be better divided into paragraphs and topics; move to PNA when "related articles" is cleaned up +sj+)
    • Began the process of re-working this article. The actual content in the history section was mostly a massive quote from a circa 1900 project Gutenberg book (Heros of the Telegraph) -- the article needs an introduction which describes what a telephone IS, and some discussion of the various types... Then, we need LINKS to sub-pages for telephone(history) and telephone(signaling) and telephone(Switching). The basic link cluster at the bottom is EXCELLENT.... it's the stuff on the telephone ITSELF that sucks. Rick Boatright 16:19, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • information theory is leaking information. --Eequor 07:38, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Computer and information science

Algorithms

Communications

  • FAST TCP - lacking neutrality, language could do with improvement. Rvollmert 11:52, 2004 Aug 21 (UTC)
  • List of device bandwidths - All speeds have to be verified, some are wrong (conversion Bit/s to Byte/s seems strange) (moved from cleanup Onebyone 22:58, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)) +I added disclaimer of why some values look wrong by an order of magnitude, but the bit-to-byte conversion won't work. See Talk (Scott McNay 17:03, 2004 Feb 8 (UTC))

Companies

  • Datakortet needs NPOV detail; a stub. (originally by an ex-employee)
    • After reading this attempt at an article, I have no idea what this company does. --Smack 22:59, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Computer architecture

Computer science

History

  • Gian Giacomo Medici - a stub on a brother of Pope Pius IV whose «early career connects itself with the romantic rise of his elder brother». How? Looks like they are not part of the Medicis. IMO it's better to expand than merge and redirect--Nabla 04:19, 2004 Aug 25 (UTC)
  • Timeline of computing 1990-forward -- Update this timeline (it ends at Nov 2001) with 2002 and 2003 events in the field of computing. Other related timelines (Internet, etc.) need care too.

Internet

  • OpenFacts Hello, press release. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 14:10, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Yahoo! -- I just happened to stumble upon Yahoo! and found services like Yahoo! Groups and Yahoo! Messenger had very little information. Being so popular, they definitely deserve more. I created the Yahoo! Mail page, though only as a stub. More information about these services needs to be provided. Jam2k 21:25, 10 May 2004

People

  • Vannevar Bush -- The link "associative trails" links to Hyperlink, which is wrong. According to Bush's paper "As we may think", a trail is a set of connected pages, i.e. a trail is indeed a graph whose vertices are pages and whose edges are links. Therefore a trail is by no means just a hyperlink, as the article suggests. I don't know what to do, of course it would be nice to set up a page explaining what a trail really is, but the easiest solution for the moment would be just to remove the linking to Hyperlink. 129.132.179.41 17:04, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Programming and other languages

  • HTML tag - Needs clarif. What should this article be? A how-to for writing HTML, an overview of current and past HTML specs, what? - I moved a lot of content to HTML element
  • Visual Basic - Needs rewriting. awful writing. I did what I could, but died of crap writing fatigue half way through. There's a pile of other pages linked from it on Microsoft techologies which need similar work. - David Gerard 11:27, Jan 14, 2004 (UTC)
    • cleaned more; still far from perfect. - Cpm 17:45, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)
    • Visual Basic and Visual Basic.NET are rather similar - maybe we could share content between the two articles? After all, the latter is only a newer version, albeit with lots of new features Enochlau 13:53, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Not quite. The .NET business rather enlarges the contexts within which Visual Basic can be used. that's a major change, albeit not much at the language syntax level. This significance of this is likely to be hard to get across to those whose experience is at the syntax level and within a single machine / architecture. ww 20:00, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Found an error in the Evolution of VB section and fixed it. Wikified a little there too. --raylu 22:50, May 12, 2004 (UTC)
    • I rewrote the Advantages/Disadvantages section and attempted to elimiate the negative point of view, but it now needs some peer review. Wuzzeb 20:43, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Software

  • m0n0wall - advertisement. --Eequor 00:10, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Arianne is unencyclopedic and written mainly from first person perspective; apparently the article was written by Arianne's developers. Needs a lot of work. --Eequor 15:15, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • XyMTeX should be expanded. Particularly, the new TeX markup it uses should be described in detail, possibly on XyMTeX markup. External links to a site written in English would be helpful as well (the XyMTeX homepage is entirely in Japanese). --Eequor 17:42, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Similarly with PPCHTeX and PPCHTeX markup. --Eequor 16:08, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Toolchain reads as if it was written by a non-native speaker of English. It's also focussed on Linux from Scratch, rather than talking generally about the meaning of "toolchain" in relation to computers. It could use some TLC from someone with experience in the area. --pne 10:36, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
    • I rewrote it so that it covers the general meaning in computer programming. Gdr 20:01, 2004 Jul 3 (UTC)
  • Winsock - way out of date, contents c+p from FOLDOC, all external links dead --Kwi 23:34, Mar 24, 2004 (UTC)

Terminology

  • Syslinux Isolinux redirects to Syslinux, syslinux talks about isolinux and syslinux but it is not clear whether these are two names for the same thing or are related OS's. See discussion page - I am not the only person confused by this -- Chris Q 07:27, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Countries

Currency

Disambiguation

  • TI Can anyone focus on what to do with this dis-ambiguation page at Talk:TI?? 66.245.120.217 23:55, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Function -- This page is okay, but for pages that link here, please dis-ambiguate the link, making sure that no one goes here thinking it is a re-direct. 66.32.121.159 16:31, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Economics, business(es), business leaders, sales

  • Anthropological theories of value - improving; needs broader economic NPOV.
  • Business ethics - recently rewritten a bit; needs someone who knows what they are talking about to separate out overlapping topics. +sj+
  • Unified Knowledge Management - orphaned article, stubby, could be good info if handled by someone with knowledge. Otherwise, maybe should be VfD. Ocon 03:40, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Standard Oil: Basically, the bottom part looks like unsubstantiated anecdotes (and POV). However, I don't know the subject well enough to just scrap it. Averell 16:28, 18 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Welfare reform. Newly rewritten article, abandoned shortly after birth, could use NPOV love. / Plus, only talks about US welfare reform, whereas welfare reform is a political topic in many countries. David.Monniaux 16:47, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Payola could use more work from somebody who knows more. heidimo 22:56, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Option (finance) needs some theoretical background and history. Kwertii 15:57, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Technical analysis has many specific techniques listed and linked, but most of these techniques don't have their own article. Kwertii 02:43, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Supply-side economics -- needs NPOV, see talk page. AaronSw 23:38, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Commercial Revolution - good dense info; needs fmt, clarif'n. +sj+ 20:03, 2004 Feb 22 (UTC)
  • Cost of goods sold- needs context, fmt, like many accounting terms.
  • Diebold Focused too much on current events criticisms of Diebold for the page title; should be separated into a page on the Co. and one on the 2000-2004 debates about their product robustness. More company info is needed.
  • Direct marketing is an A to Z of some Direct marketing topics of personal relevance to the author. Telemarketing says it is a subset of Direct marketing so this needs a serious article.
  • Global financial system - confusing and incomplete
  • Group 28 project (now the Individual Visit project). - Needs a thorough copyedit.
  • Job creation program: A questionable section on Switzerland was removed on August 9, 2003; article is now NPOV, but stubby; needs much more information from countries around the world.
    • Third country added today - plenty more scope - Robin Patterson 22:12, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • List of subsistence techniques - looks like this could be a great list; incomplete. Can someone fix up the format, and create stubs for more of the linked concepts? (requires linking to existing pages under slightly different names) Knowledge of Marx not necc, but might help.
  • Rocketdyne Santa Susana Field Laboratory Contamination. Once listed for deletion but kept. Needs NPOV, more. Angela 31 Jan. 2004 Angela
  • Van Doorne's Automobiel Fabriek - rewriting needed. Many confusing sentences and grammar/spelling problems. Sport section worse than others. punishinglemur 22:14, 13 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Socialist economics: a terrific topic for someone who knows some economic theory and history. It is needed to complement Socialism, which is all politics and no economics. Adam 14:11, 17 Nov 2003 (UTC)
  • Uneconomic growth - needs NPOV; should focus on the (new) term and notion in its title, not on the policies of George W. Bush.

Education, learning, pedagogy

Environment, geology, earth sciences, weather

Food, agriculture

  • Food is mostly a list of lists. ~ Jake 23:58, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC).
    • I have started work on improving the food entry. Any suggestions / comments / ideas welcomed at Talk:Food. Thanks David Thrale 23:18, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • American lager - previous version was extremely POV. Current version is loaded with weasel terms. There must be a middle ground here. - Hephæstos|§ 05:18, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • I've been working on it - I think I've helped, but I'm probably not done yet. Brian Rock 02:47, Mar 30, 2004 (UTC)
  • Food quality starts off with "Food quality is the quality of food." and doesn't get any better. Should at the very least mention quality systems and good manufacturing practice David Thrale 23:06, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • I've done some work but there is still a lot that could be done here. Rjstott 09:25, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Apple Jacks -- Go to the external link at the bottom and use it as a reference tool for why the green jacks became X-shaped. 66.32.156.73 00:56, 16 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • World Food Program. I have improved this a lot. Can someone who knows about aid for trade, add something to this article or create an article on this linked to World Food Program? David Thrale 10:46, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Wine and related pages require some work. There seems to be a lot of duplication, as well as confusion about varietals and brands. Furthermore, the issues are muddied by the fact that the terminology in the US differs from that in the rest of the world. - Burschik, 09:23, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • The section of chocolate on "the economics behind chocolate definition" has some useful information, but seems to me to have a POV problem. Also it needs grammar corrections. --Dominus 19:17, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Soup- article of the week did a lot of work, but the History section is short and the Western and Non-Western sections have no text in them.--Alsocal 04:42, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Games, entertainment

  • Final Fantasy - It is a very complete summary article, but the problem is, not every Final Fantasy has an article written for it. Going to, say, "Final Fantasy II" redirects to this page. We need to correct these redirects with actual full articles complete with pictures, etc. Lockeownzj00 2:54, 31 May 2004 (UTC)
  • All Video Game Consoles need to be uniform in format. Some do not have the system specs. Pictures are being looked into. Contacting the makers of www.vgmuseum.com to see if their system images can be used. Lockeownzj00 8:30, 13 June 2004 (UTC)
  • Rayman needs more information. Lots of it. MajorB|MajorB 02:27 PM, July 14, 2004

Geography

More evidence that Rambot is evil:
  • Most of these have irrelevant statistics, including percentages less than 1% and mentions of 0%.
  • All are poorly wikified (inconsistent, redundant, unintuitive), particularly with regard to ethnicity.
  • All are under-wikified. Except for the lead section, links within the article are limited to the following:
  • Hispanic and Latino groups are poorly recognized by the U.S. Census, and the Rambot articles propagate this error.
  • The section on marital status reflects antiquated notions of gender role.
  • The articles seem to use "village" and "town" interchangeably. Every occurrence of each (and any other synonyms used) should be replaced with "city".
  • Most of the statistics would be better presented by a table. Perhaps a link to the Census Bureau would suffice?
  • Flanders needs attention, it is regularly stuffed with partisan matter. There are other problems but I am not familiar enough with the topic (Flanders is both a region in Belgium and a region spanning three countries...). --Edcolins 20:27, Aug 4, 2004 (UTC)
  • Bedford-Stuyvesant Apparently written by someone who knows the place, which is good, but also obviously written from that person's perspective. Not exactly POV, but more of a tourist come-on than an encyclopedia article. Lee M 18:42, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Bathinda much of this article is quite badly written and needs alot of TLC. User:ChicXulub 22:11, 4 May 2004 (GMT)
  • Elizabeth Islands off Massachussetts. Is only links. older≠wiser 17:23, 1 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Geneseo, New York and Geneseo (village), New York need to be both merged and separated in various ways. (also added to DA) --♬ bdesham
  • Haywards Heath near Brighton, England -- Undoubtedly written by people living in that area, the article lacks statistical data and some more. <KF> 14:38, 3 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Long Island - An extraordinary incomplete list of towns of Long Island exists in this article. The entries for Nassau County, New York and Suffolk County, New York (both counties of Long Island) have reasonably complete lists - someone is needed for the job of taking the names of these towns from these two other articles and also adding them to the Long Island article. Moncrief 01:26, Mar 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • River - data given for ten longest rivers frequently doesn't match the data given on the actual page for that river.
  • Kaliningrad Oblast and Yasnaya Polyana - Nicely written, but some of the descriptions seem somewhat over the top: It was a scene of earlier massive Soviet Union military build-up and now the scene of total massive breakdown. These surrealistic visions stand in stark contrast to the vanished city of Königsberg, the city of Immanuel Kant and the city of kings. -- Someone who knows more about this history of Kaliningrad/Konigsberg, Russia, and East Prussia should have a look. --BCorr ¤ Брайен 22:54, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)
  • Latin names of regions - factual problems. Kingturtle 23:33, 19 Nov 2003 (UTC)
  • List of Ontario rivers - The hierarchal view is in bad shape; the entire St. Lawrence system is in a non-hierarchal order (the Great Lakes do drain into each other!), and some major rivers seem to go missing when many minor ones are piled on. Radagast
  • Kastamonu Province - Needs wikification, also a bit of NPOV'ing - not serious enough to merit a dispute or anything, but article appears to have been written by the hotels and tourism board. 209.149.235.254 22:50, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)
    • NPOVed as much as I can, needs edit by SO who has lived/visited here. Auric The Rad 03:34, Jun 16, 2004 (UTC)
    • I tried my best to add information and remove further POVs, correct geographical facts. The text was indeed taken from a tourism site. I will add more info tomorrow. However I need SO to check the grammar.23:31, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Georgia - There is too much talk about whether Georgia should be the same page as Georgia (country) or Georgia (disambiguation). This should come to an agreement by the time 2005 starts. 66.32.69.62 23:31, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Minnesota and Pennsylvania - Okay, these pages are fine, but many of the articles for towns in these states are not. There are hundreds of articles of towns from these states that haven't been updated since the dawn of 2003. One good suggestion is to put MediaWiki boxes at the bottom for the states of Minnesota and Pennsylvania for all towns. 66.245.78.247 23:22, 28 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ravenhall is just a frivolous set of notes. Someone who knows the place needs to fix this. -- Heron 20:07, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Historical figures

  • Philip Freneau - He needs some information on him. His poetry was quite important.
  • James H. Lane - aside from the obvious spelling/grammar/formatting issues, it appears that there may be two Civil War Generals named James Henry Lane -- see [1] and [2]. This could really use the attention of someone more familiar with Civil War history. Radicalsubversiv 02:51, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • I've cleaned it up a bit, but it still needs a thorough lookover by someone who's an expert in this! Miss Puffskein 01:32, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • Homer Lea - great bio; needs fact-checking, NPOV, dates filled in
  • List of Mughal emperors - needs help getting links and names standardized, formatting.
  • Genghis Khan - the page needs info on Khan uniting the tribes before his conquest, and needs info on Khan's aborted conquest of Europe.
  • Menander - aside from having 1911-ese (and a whole lot of screwed up Greek words), it also doesn't have anything recent about him (such as Girl Of Samos, and whatever else may have been discovered since 1911). Adam Bishop 20:37, 2 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • I cleaned up the Greek titles and added romanizations and translations of them, but rewriting and reorganization are still needed to bring the article up to date and make its contents easier to grasp quickly. A list of plays with extant fragments might be a good addition. Flauto Dolce 03:11, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)
  • Maltese Nobility needs some serious formatting by someone who is good at that (ie, not me :-) ). As it looks copypasted, it might also need copyright-checking, but note that the original contributor seems to be the owner of www.maltagenealogy.com.
  • William III of the Netherlands - needs encyclopedic tone and some basic facts like year of inauguration. Rmhermen 19:44, Jan 4, 2004 (UTC)
    • I've improved the writing style, but it's still unclear in places and needs a good going-over by someone familiar with Dutch history. -Smack 21:38, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Fernando Lopes - Needs to be formatted into Wikipedia coventions. And needs to be edited. Kingturtle 18:11, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Lajos Kossuth - contains some worryingly opinionated statements ("With marvellous energy he kept in his own hands the direction of the whole government"). Needs fact-checking and neutralising. Onebyone 01:11, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)
    • Like it or not, the facts have been checked. The man * was* a charismatic leader - unkamunka. 16:34, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)
      • I believe that, I'm just not sure I know enough about the subject to make the language better without introducing errors. I think the request for fact-checking was just something I passed on from the entry on cleanup - I now see that this article is in fact pretty close to the 1911 Britannica, so is probably accurate. That also explains the flowery prose... Onebyone
      • Having done an initial NPOV some time ago, I am slowly going through and boiling down the prose; probably originally written by an Anglophone Hungarian shortly after Kossuth's death - unkamunka. 12:45, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)

History

  • Seleucus is a type of disambiguation page for the Seleucid dynasty. However there is also a Seleucus of Seleucia, a Greek philosopher and astronomer who lived 150 B.C. onward. He is noted for championing Aristarchus's heliocentric theory and theorizing that the Moon was responsible for tides. (He was also a contemporary of Hipparchus.) But I'm unclear if he was a member of the listed Seleucid dynasty, or a different Seleucus. Could somebody clarify on the Seleucus page? - RJH 17:22, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

    • Agreed, and phrases like "Spain had completely thrown off the Muslim yoke" aren't what you'd call exemplary NPOV either.

Someone with knowledge on these Baltic people should flesh out their history, most especially at their first appearance in literature (such as Tacitus) and also their culture and a summary of the Old Prussian Language.

  • Wars of Independence - I'm not really a history person and it is clear that this title should cover a whole lot more area than this piece (which needs reworking/formatting anyway) does.

(2) When was "war declared on Paris"? This was a suppression of an insurrection. (3) Overall this seems a bit of a white-wash of the Commune, but perhaps that's just my POV.

  • List of radio stations in Georgia Just about all Atlanta FM radio stations except WNNX-FM are there, but can you add more Albany, Georgia stations?? User 66.32.73.125 March 27, 2004
    • The list isn't complete and we are still sorely lacking in pages for actual radio stations, but I've added stations for Albany, Augusta, Carrollton, Macon, and Savannah. Valdosta (and maybe Columbus) still needs to be done though. Maclyn611 00:33, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)

    • Did my changes fix it to your satisfaction? I guess the image was placed rotated since it was too wide; I put a smaller (properly oriented) version in the article, with a link to properly oriented large image. --Infrogmation 18:24, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

    • Have spent what seems an age trying to work out how to deal with this. Lynsey De Paul and Mike Moran is unlikely to be entered as a search term (as is anything with an and in it I reckon) and the only link is from the eurovision song contest for that year with all other contenders not having pages. Lynsey already has a page though so will reorganise her page to reflect this and amend this page to be about Mike (as there is no page for him presently and he can justify a page) --VampWillow 13:44, 31 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

  • Music of Missouri and Music of Kansas - time starts about the year 1980 in both of these articles. The tremendous influence of Kansas City, Missouri on jazz would be a welcome addition to the music of Missouri.

  • Nikola Tesla: the Early Years section reads more like a polemic on his ethnicity than a biography. needs copyediting, NPOV.
    • It's worse than that; a mixture of ethnic polemics, conspiracy theory weirdness, crackpottery, and idolatry that greatly exaggerates his undoubted genius. There are a whole series of Tesla-related articles linked from a sidebar, and most are even worse. Securiger 16:59, 17 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
    • It definitely needs copyediting, but the information is pretty factual and follows a timeline of his life in a neat flow. It seems to have little to do with his ethnicity except for the fact that his ethnicity played a major role in his immigration to the US. Copyedit yes, rearrange if necessary. The entire article is long and exhaustive, so we should expect a section on his ethnicity and background to be relatively long as well. It contributes to a complete encyclopedia article. Abqwildcat 22:16, 17 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
      • It is not "pretty factual". See Talk:Nikola Tesla for some of the fairly major errors and exaggerations I have picked up so far. That's five hours' research and I am less than a third of the way through just the main article. Hence, the request here for assistance. Securiger 05:11, 18 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

  • John McClintock, 1st Baron Rathdonnell - way too detailed and complicated, someone with the time and interest should short out what's essential Alex S 16:01, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Ernest Borneman -- Lots still missing from Borneman's biography. In the 1980s and 1990s in Germany and Austria, no one knew that he had had a life before becoming a "sexologist". Some claim he had a strange attitude to paedophilia. His books must also be mentioned. Finally, his suicide came as a surprise to many who had been listening to him on TV talking positively about life. <KF> 08:53, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • List_of_members_of_the_U.S._House_of_Representatives - This page is fine, but nearly ALL the members need work. Check Jim Nussle, Leonard Boswell, Dennis Moore for what I'm trying. Vote totals are at this link and committees can be found at member homepages (Google them) or committee homepages. Power 08:44, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Arborist - currently a "how to hire" guide, should be a better description of what an arborist does. Also seems to have a POV about particular methods. --Finlay McWalter 03:49, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Chang and Eng Bunker: says "They were joined at the side by what was discovered after their death in 1874 to be only a superficial connection involving skin tissue." I think this is incorrect. I believe their livers were also conjoined. Dominus 21:26, 9 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Philosophy, Larry's Text

  • Land ethic. This article is something of a mess. Unformatted, and mostly citations. Should this rather go in the Environment-section? Rvollmert 10:38, 2004 Aug 19 (UTC)
  • Yoga Sutra. This article contains two separate entries (both good), one after the other. They need to be combined and organized. Good luck! Quadell 23:32, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
    • I think it would be better for the first part of the article to be merged with Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The second part is what actually talks about Yoga Sutras in general. Jam2k 13:23, May 15, 2004 (UTC)
  • The Enlightenment. Too many cooks spoil the broth it seems, at least when it comes to describing, in general terms, the main characteristics of this revolutionary era. An introduction to enlightened 18th century thought is needed here, with lots of cross references leading off to politics, literature, etc. etc. Also, the split into The Enlightenment and Enlightenment (concept) (plus a disambiguation page Enlightenment) might be reconsidered. <KF> 00:31, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Friedrich Nietzsche - final section "Misc" ends in what appears to be a tangential essay with no clear connection to Nietsche's ideas --llywrch
  • Larry's Text is a set of pages input by Larry Sanger in the early days of Wikipedia. It is 350+(!) pages of introduction to philosophy lectures he gave at Ohio State University. Rendering it all encyclopedic has been a daunting task, and many of these articles still need a lot of work.
  • Voltaire - needs re-organizing, updating, editing for style (most of the article is 1911EB); and some judicious trimming probably wouldn't hurt. --Paul A 06:01, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • Will (philosophy) - says copyediting in progress, but that way is May last year. andy 23:08, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

  • subject-object problem -- needs work; contains an extremely far-fetched analogy to quantum mechanics; too verbose. +sj+ 10:41, 2004 Feb 22 (UTC)
  • physicalism: Larry's Text has been removed, but now this article needs to be edited from the ground up. This is a pretty critical position in philosophy of mind, so come help out!
  • sophistry - Moved two POV paragraphs from the article to the talk page. How can we rework these paragraphs to NPOV? Kwertii 02:46, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Socratic method - needs more organization and references, currently sounds more like one person's interpretation of it, than an encyclopedia article. --zandperl 15:00, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Essentialism - Needs someone who knows more about Essentialism than I do to pull the page together. Before I made it a disambiguation page, it was a mixture of the first two topics. jaredwf 11:28, 9 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

  • Extremism - here from VfD. Bmills 11:48, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)

  • Blasphemy law in the United Kingdom needs lots of work! --The Anome 15:47, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)

  • Police oppression - This reads like it was written by someone with an ax to grind against police. I'd say quite POV, and generally rambling and incoherent. Joyous 03:34, Jun 3, 2004 (UTC)
  • Worker safety and health. This seems to be a summary of some American legislation with which I am not familiar. I am no more knowledgable about the subject after reading the article than before! If someone actually knows anything about the subject, maybe they could the article some attention?

  • Japanese mythology. From a brief glance it seems to be reasonably well written, but certain sections are empty, and it badly needs wikification. Possibly it needs copyediting. I am also uncertain if the names should be italicized. DocWatson42 06:07, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Hebrew thought and Greek thought. I would guess that these two pages are the products of some new and worthy Wikipedia contributors that I would not like to discourage. But in my opinion, these two Wikipedia pages represent only the unsupportable personal opinions of some Wikipedia authors attempting to foist upon the world a peculiarly Christian distortion of reality. These Wikipedia authors even assert--without citation--that Archimedes used "Hebrew thought" rather than "Greek thought"!! Now maybe that is true, but if it is true, then surely there would be a citation to some genuine Hebrew scholar justly bragging about the superiority of "Hebrew thought" over "Greek thought." On Talk:Hebrew thought, I suggest that the two Wikipedia pages Hebrew thought and Greek thought should be combined to one page that summarizes the various scholarly views about whether or not the differences asserted on the pages Hebrew thought and Greek thought are bogus. ---Rednblu 01:19, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • civic religion - I find much of the content implausible. That all "civic religions" are atheistic, that they exist only under dicatorships, that they are necessarily dogmatic. I thought the term referred to ritual displays of patriotism of the sort practiced in all countries, such as crowds singing the national anthem on certain occasions, displaying the flag on patriotic holidays, etc. See Talk:civic religion for more. Warning': not to be confused with civil religion. Michael Hardy 02:09, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • I just finished refactoring Apocrypha, which was something of a mess. I'm not sure it's factually accurate anymore, or really that it was to begin with. I also noticed that there are many related articles which contain a lot of the same information. In particular, there are several comparison charts between different Biblical canons. Someone needs to give each chunk of content a "home" article, and make sure that other articles contain only terse summaries of this contents, with links to the "home" article. Someone more familiar with the subject should check Apocrypha (and probably related articles, especially after any re-factoring) for historical and theological accuracy. The related articles include: Books of the Bible, Biblical canon, Bible, Bible and Tanakh, Septuagint, Old Testament, New Testament, and probably many others. This larger project may be worthy of a Bible-related Wikiproject, if someone wants to start one. I'm surprised one doesn't exist already. -- Beland 06:04, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Optics

  • Aberration in optical systems is a wordy theoretical article from the 1911 Encyclopedia. It cries out to be rewritten in readable English and peppered with diagrams. EdH 16:43, Feb 15, 2004 (UTC)
    • I've added scans of the original illustrations from the 1911 Encyclopaedia. The article still needs tons of work, though. --DrBob 21:23, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)
      • Only want to add, that I (and others) do an occasional edit there, and I suppose it will slowly evolve into fine article. Contrary to other opinions, I'd say that the 1911 article is a good starting point. -- Pjacobi 20:49, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Physics

  • Clauser and Horne's 1974 Bell test is incomprehensible to someone who doesn't already know what the article's talking about. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 17:42, 2004 Aug 7 (UTC)
    • Not knowing any better, I tried linking to a book which is a popular treatment on the subject. The article's main author disagrees with the book, and subsequently reverted. Thus the article and related articles and comments currently serve as balance for quantum entanglement, for which the author states there is no experimental basis, in contradiction with the book I referenced. By the way, the experiment examines a consequence of a POV which Albert Einstein tried to use, to disprove quantum mechanics. The issue is local reality versus non-local reality. Teleportation is a consequence of non-local reality. It's an important subject. Ancheta Wis 01:05, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Given that Quantum entanglement now says that the phenomenon has been proven, it's probably OK to add that reference back in. -- Beland 01:27, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
One of my objections to that reference was that it was clear that it did not deal specifically with the CH74 test, which is the subject of the article. It could perhaps be given as a ref from Quantum entanglement. However, I suspect it of factual inaccuracy, e.g. in relation to Aspect's experiments. Probably it is no worse than other popular books though.
Incidentally, contradictory though it may seem, "quantum teleportation" does not necessarily (according to Braunstein, one of the experts) involve nonlocal effects. Caroline Thompson 21:18, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I've added a little "background reading" to Bell's theorem. Other popular books can be added here. I don't see the need to suggest other reading from pages such as Clauser and Horne's 1974 Bell test as these are not intended to be treated as anything other than subpages of the Bell's theorem page.
The book list is preceded by a caveat regarding the likely accuracy of the information on actual experiments. This may perhaps be seen as presenting a biased view, but this is only right in the context. Bell's theorem is based on the local realist point of view and it is only fair that the world should be warned that popular books are riddled with mistakes. Contact me for refs.Caroline Thompson 10:45, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • The following articles should be checked for factual accuracy and NPOV by someone familiary with quantum theory and who believes in the dominant professional scientific view: Bell's theorem; CHSH inequality; Clauser and Horne's 1974 Bell test; Bell test experiments; Local hidden variable theory. -- Beland 01:27, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • A question: Is someone who "believes in the dominant professional scientific view" likely to have made a specific study of the loopholes in Bell test experiments, or know the difference between the assumptions behind the various Bell tests? These are not subjects covered in standard physics courses. I'm afraid there's a problem here: knowing the facts it's impossible to have a neutral point of view! I very much doubt if any of the material in the new Bell's theorem page is wrong. It has been checked by an expert who has been involved in the subject since Bell's time. Caroline Thompson 21:18, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Sociology, culture

  • Humanism - this important subject needs more whole-hearted treatment; Renaissance humanism treats it as a historical phenomenon. Wetman 18:42, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Commercialism - inaccurate and simplistic, it starts with a dicdef [12] and moves on to speculate about cave men bartering with each other. I put it in sociology but I'm not sure if this is the right category. Rhobite 15:37, Jul 28, 2004 (UTC)
  • Trust metric - minimal but informative article. --Eequor 13:37, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Rural sociology, Types of rural communities, Exurb, Role homogeneity, Agribusiness, List of literature on rural issues, and Demographic history of the United States seem to be a collection of interlinked articles which portary a particular anti-corporate perspective on the economics of rural America. These articles need substantial work by someone familiar with (or willing to learn more about) rural economics and culture to establish NPOV and factual accuracy. I think managed to mostly save Rural exodus, but if you are familiar with the subject, you can probably improve it. If you do statistical research for Demographic history of the United States, you may find that the "rural exodus" is not happening everywhere that Rural exodus might imply. (I haven't checked, but the original author did not seem to take care to make the article neutral, so now I'm suspicious.) --Beland 01:10, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • Arcology is currently a personal essay (maybe a book report?), but it does contain some history of the topic. Someone who is familiar should rework it to be more encyclopediaic. SSherris 03:22, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Arab anti-Semitism --Elian, on the talk page, put it best:
    • What this article is missing is a thorough analysis of the development of anti-semitism (how much effect had the creation of Israel?), a critical debate of how much is anti-Israelism and how and if the terms are seperable, a description of the practical institutionalization of anti-semitism (are there any laws in the arab countries which discriminate against Jews, i.e. especially Jews, not just adherents of other religions?). A mere collection of anti-semitic statements of arab jounalists and politicians does not make it an encyclopedia entry.

Gender and sexuality

  • Rind et al. has a completely inappropriate title, the first name of one of the authors of a scientific journal article. It seems to have been singled out because some pedophiles see it in support of their fight for the right to have sex with children. Other scientif material in the area of child sexual abuse and pedophilia is neglected. Get-back-world-respect 07:35, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
