[[Diving disorders]] could be turned into an interesting article, but it only lists stuff without much explanation of the physics behind them at the moment. I'd would like to see this expanded by someone knowledgeable on [[diving]] and I would like it redirected to [[Diving disorder]] (without the 's') so it complies with WP naming conventions. (Comments on my talk page, please)- [[User:MacGyverMagic|MGM]] 11:48, May 5, 2004 (UTC)

* Moved to [[diving disorder]]; still needs cleanup. -[[User:Gtrmp|Sean]] 04:20, 6 May 2004 (UTC)

Copy info from [[List of books by award or notoriety]] into [[List of prizes, medals, and awards]] and vice versa, create some link between these lists to prevent redundancy

[[Leonardo leonardo]] about a character from a little-known tv show. Needs formatting work.

A minor character on a show that only ran for two episodes. This should be moved to VfD.

[[Mystic Records]] could use a sentence

Wikified, but still NPOV issues ("sacred and holy catholic week"). Needs review by someone familiar with the material. [[User:Jmclean|Jmclean]] 19:10, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

== More than a week old ==

The following items (down to the next full-section heading) are more than a week old, but not yet reviewed for completion in the fashion that items so labeled formerly were.

=== May 3 ===

[[Age of Unreason Trilogy]]. I'm not sure the title makes sense. There appear to be 4 books [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index%3Dbooks%26field-keywords%3D%252522The%252520Age%252520of%252520Unreason%25252C%252520Book%252520%252522%26store-name%3Dbooks/102-2904869-0776125], so it's not a trilogy.

[[Kent_Labour_Students]] Needs wikification. If indeed there is any scope for this article at all.

[[Dik hon]] is this made up?

: My friend (who can speak cantonese) claims that word-for-word, it means "dripping sweat". I don't think the definition given in the above article is too far-fetched -[[User:Frazzydee|Frazzydee]] 00:20, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

[[Blues Rock]] and [[Blues-rock]] need merging.

[[Rue Saint-Maur (Paris Metro)]] - extremely stubby, unless something can be told about this station, I'd like one big [[Paris Metro]] article with a map of the lines included. A list of stations isn't going to be helpful. - [[User:MacGyverMagic|MGM]] 14:53, May 3, 2004 (UTC)

[[Garrett A. Morgan]] into which I have merged [[Garrett Morgan]] contained information that seems to have been apocryphal or just plain wrong. Aiming for NPOV, I have removed what seemed dubious, although other web pages include it. Please would somebody else have a look at this and correct if necessary? [[User:EdH|EdH]] 14:15, May 3, 2004 (UTC)

[[Blue Lagoon cocktail]] requires expansion from just a recipe

[[Will to Power]] requires wikification

[[James Blake]] - Somebody needs to make an article out of what is currently a wall poster [[User:Chancemill|Chancemill]] 14:39, May 3, 2004 (UTC)

=== May 2 ===

[[Vinnie Vincent]] - needs wikifying, possible fact-check, NPOV, etc. Similarly, [[Mark St. John]], [[Bruce Kulick]], although those look better. Possibly worth checking other [[KISS (band)|KISS]] related entries too.

[[Lawrence J. DeLucas]] unformatted (UPDATE: I have done some formatting, but it needs more wikification -[[User:Frazzydee|Frazzydee]] 20:53, 2 May 2004 (UTC))

: I did some more formatting and wikification, but it still needs some more -- [[User:Aibyou chan|aibyou_chan]] 19:45, 9 May 2004 (UTC)

[[Charles Curran]] - underwikified, needs better context, article notes is only about one of two notable people by that name, disambig?

[[Burnley Wood]] - poorly written

[[Padiham]] - copyrighted? + rewritten and added river detail

[[Merak Mail Server]] - advertisement, possibly not important enough to be kept

[[U.S. presidential primary]] - Includes text added on 7 March which itself includes references to '''California Plan''', deleted today as per consensus on vfd. This needs rooting out while keeping the emphasis of the article intact.

[[Chinese nobility]] - needs to cover noble titles up to the Qing Dynasty

[[Blood Ruby]] looks ad-like, not encyclopedia-like

[[Cot-caught merger]] Factual dispute regarding how widespread this linguistic merger is; see article's Talk page; Believe this is fixed; AAR there's now an external link to a dialect map that shows the areas of the merger. [[User:Ihcoyc|Smerdis of Tlön]]

[[AMC AMX]] - needs work

[[Cohen v. California]] unformatted

[[White Sox-Cubs rivalry]] Needs NPOVing, wikification and copyediting. Nevertheless quite nice article.

=== May 1 ===

[[California's Gold]] Describes someone as 'cherubic and fit'. NPOV.

[[Louis Crane]] unformatted

[[Landmark case]] - i did a partial, but still: inconsistent bold/italic/format/punct, redundant links, links with _ in them, /li tags, nearly completely mispelled, inconsistent capitals. [[User:Badanedwa|Badanedwa]] 20:31, May 1, 2004 (UTC)

[[Ian McKenzie Anderson]], [[Sandy Burnett]] - unwikified, noteworthy enough?

[[Masaaki Sakai]] bad english

[[Gaetano Badalamenti]] only DOB and DOD

[[Flightgear]] style, content +merged with [[FlightGear]], moved much non-NPOV open source advocacy (not really relevant in this particular article anyway) to Talk. [[User:Lexor|Lexor]]|[[User talk:Lexor|Talk]]

[[New York Euphoria]] and [[Los Angeles Temptation]], since there is no article on [[Lingerie Football League]] these don't mean much + wrote an article on the LFL. But the LA team is the Dream not the Temptation.

[[U.S. Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance]] - needs edit to a user-friendly article directed to the general public (has a lot of military terms).

[[Ezo]] - this article is a mess. Formosa is one of the islands of Japan?

: It was in 1911 (see source of article)

[[John Demjanjuk]] looks like story was unfinished, even before yesterday's news that his deportation is underway. --[[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]][[User talk:Jerzy|(t)]]

[[John E. Blaha]] currently a resume, needs transforming into an article.

*A number of the [[astronaut]] articles contributed by [[User:Theon]] are unformatted data dumps

=== April 30 ===

[[Shout fire in a crowded theatre]] - Tongue in cheek article by tired and possibly drunk author

[[Backa]] - contradicts itself (is it in [[Serbia]] or divided between [[Serbia]] and [[Hungary]]?)

: Contradictions now resolved, but needs more on Hungarian Bácska

[[Colon Hydrotherapy (Colonics)]] Clearly this article has got issues.

[[Amos Meller]] rewrite. Makes little sense. All google hits for "Amos Meller" are Wikipedia mirrors. Misspelled? Does not exist?

[[Amma]] makes no sense (Makes more sense now, but still despirately needs help --[[User:FrankB|FrankB]])

[[Story of the Year]] Needs rewrite so it makes sense. Is this an important band? I don't know anything about them. All the info on the page is vague. The band was formed 'somewhere' in the US and may have sold 'a 100 or a 200' records.

:+ rewrote some. still some ambiguous info.

=== April 29 ===

[[Oakworth Hall]] sounds like sales brochure

[[Futami Jouwa]] from vfd, no consensus, needs tidying up

[[Myrmica rubra]] an article we need but this is a substub, needs everything [[User:Seglea|seglea]]

[[Agent 212]] substub

[[Daryl F. Mallett]] - fan article about some SciFi editor. Needs massive trimming and rewrite, removing of excessive linking, trimming bibliography, fact check (I couldn't verify the film credits). Maybe even a copyvio? But from where? [[User:Lupo|Lupo]]

[[Fear Factory]] seems rather POV. Terms like 'hugely successful' etc.

[[William Melton]] little more than externals links, this isn't dmoz

=== April 28 ===

[[Feijoada completa]] recipe, style, to wikibooks?

[[Linus Kendall]], unwikified, sub-stub, famous?

''[[Barbus]]'' - [[User:Ram-Man|Ram-Man]] has set up a batch of excellent articles on fishes in this genus, but the material is mainly [[aquarium]] oriented and someone with a bit of technical background needs to rake through [[FishBase]] and add more ichthyological material. I'd do it myself but I am still bogged down in IDing possible additions to the [[List of San Francisco Bay Area wildflowers]]. [[User:Seglea|seglea]]

[[Agricultural Revolution]] This focuses only on the historic process in Scotland. This is a major historic topic involving developments in agricultural methods and machines across Europe and North America [[User:Lumos3|Lumos3]] 16:20, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[[Spiritual socialism]] POV, context

[[Bear Son Tale]] huh? context, relevance, etc.

[[Boris V. Morukov]] has been wikified, needs to be structured

[[Ernesto Laclau]] needs general cleanup, preferably by someone who knows who he is.

=== April 26-27 ===

[[Fallout]] - mess created by merging two articles. The beginning is reasonable, after that, a scrambled file of facts. Some content would be happier at [[radioactive contamination]].

[[Asana]] - needs some NPOV and cleanup from someone who knows about this.

[[Community inquiry labs]] - needs context

[[Guthlac]] - somebody's homework: an essay containing first person singular and plural. Needs major cleanup by someone familiar with [[Old English poetry]]. [[User:Lupo|Lupo]]

[[Donny Hamzik]] - related to [[Manowar]]; stub; needs context.

[[Prophet Onias]] - very definitely POV, needs fact checking. - [[User:Mustafaa|Mustafaa]] Completely rewritten by anon, might need another check.

[[Berenger Sauniere]] - needs fact-checking and possibly NPOV. Google search suggests that he's controversial and/or surrounded by some conspiracy theories and legends.

[[Vito Genovese]] - one big paragraph, sentences beginning with prepositions, run on sentences etc. Could do with edits for style and clarity.

+ Did full edit (since when are <s>mafioso</s> '''mafiosi''' stars?), but still feels it needs to be expanded. External links with information are included. - [[User:MacGyverMagic|MGM]]

[[Buck or Two]] - needs edit for style from someone who knows this chain of stores + fixed style a bit, could still use more info [[User:Adam Bishop|Adam Bishop]]

== More than two weeks old ==

The items in this (top-level section) were presumably reviewed for completion both when moved from "Just in" but were not again reviewed when moved to "More than two weeks old"

=== April 24-25 ===

[[Pyrroloquinoline quinone]] - legitimate? Claims of "new vitamins" are always suspicious. - It's purportedly a vitamin in mice. No deficiency disease has been shown in humans, so it's certainly not a human vitamin.

[[University of Kentucky]] - horrible, dreadful mess after last anon edit. -was reverted. --- Still needs a ''lot'' of help. Apparently nothing of consequence is ''taught'' there (I thought as much), so sports are its only focus. -- [[User:Ihcoyc|Smerdis of Tlön]]

[[Authorial intentionality]] - Dead end, non encyclopedic, non wiki, POV. I'd VFD except it might be a real thing.

*I'd say VFD. It suffers from all of the above and any relevant points it makes could be addressed within [[Author]] or [[Intentional fallacy]] --[[User:BookgirlST|bookgirl]]

[[Engagement ring]] needs to be combined with [[Wedding band]] with a new article title. [[User:TimothyPilgrim|TimothyPilgrim]]

[[E-Consensus]]. Is this just original research or is it a real thing worth an article? Maybe VfD? -

"Actually it's an overlap of [[electronic forums]] and [[consensus decision making]]. partly origional research in [[Information Theory]] regarding the mathamatical nature of consensus in open issue fourms.

It also offeres others core ideas in electronic decision systems.

I would hope for a Vote for Inclusion VFI.
