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:

# It needs serious attention from someone familiar with the subject, or

# You have no idea how to approach it

Otherwise (if it needs a little detail, proofreading, NPOV, etc) list it on the '''[[Wikipedia:Cleanup|cleanup page]]'''. If you're looking for pages to attend to, ''other pages'' likely to need attention include [[Special:Newpages|'''Newly created articles''']] and [[Special:Ancientpages|'''Ancient pages''']].

'''Basic use guidelines''':

* '''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 '''<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>''' (four tildes) after a comment.

* '''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.

* For each article you add to this list, 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===

* [[!Kung mythology]] - Please add more myths and detail; also improve prose. fascinating. cf. [[List of deities]]

* [[Pashtun]] - lots of information added and deleted by 63.166.37.229 -- needs more than simple reverting.

**did some work on June 28 [[User:Marlowe|Marlowe]] 21:05, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

* [[Ethnomethodology]] is rather confusing to someone who doesn't know anything about ethnology. -- [[User:Khym Chanur|Khym Chanur]] 07:41, Mar 10, 2004 (UTC)

*[[Chysauster_Ancient_Village]] still needs expansion and possibly NPOV. -[[User:Gtrmp|Sean Curtin]] 18:10, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

===Art, artists and art history===

===Biology, anatomy, animals, plants=== ''(see also [[#Medicine, surgery, health]])''

* [[Abdomen]] is a mess. -- [[User:Dominus|Dominus]] 19:15, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)

**I'm starting reconstructive surgery on it [[User:Pete in AZ|Pete in AZ]]01:32, 6 May 2004 (UTC)

**Did more [[User:Kd4ttc|Kd4ttc]] 21:34, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Involuntary control of respiration]] - unwikified and reads like its been cut directly from a medical text. -- [[User:Pm67nz|Pm67nz]] 09:25, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)

** Passes the Google test for copyright infringement. Message sent to user regarding source, no reply expected. -[[User:Smack|Smack]] 00:02, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)

*[[F wave]] - needs simpler language. What does antidromically mean? [[User:Onebyone|Onebyone]] 00:35, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC) (from cleanup)

** Reworked for clarity and factual accuracy. And even included a definition for ''antidromically'' ;-) --[[User:Diberri|Diberri]] 09:39, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

*[[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, [[User:GerardM|GerardM]] 19:53, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

** 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. [[User:Eef (A)|Eef (A)]] 18:58, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

* [[Theales]] needs to be brought into line with other biology articles. It needs editboxing, reorganization, detail, etc. -- [[User:Slowking Man|Slowking Man]] 07:09, May 18, 2004 (UTC)

**It was probably abandoned because it's an obsolete order. I believe it has been superseded by [[Ericales]], and I added a note to that effect. -- [[User:Heron|Heron]] 08:33, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Structural_alignment]] is vague; needs more info; should be more specifically named (perhaps [[Protein structural alignment]] -- [[User:Stewartadcock|Stewart Adcock]]) [[User:Sj|+sj+]] 09:52, 2004 Feb 22 (UTC)

* [[Bradypodion]] list of red links. What is common name?[[User:Doovinator|Doovinator]] 22:00, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

* [[Lepidophyma]] same. [[User:Doovinator|Doovinator]] 21:44, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)

* [[Genetically modified organism]] - huge NPOV problems, incoherent.--[[User:Eloquence|Eloquence]][[User:Eloquence/CP|*]] 21:36, Apr 19, 2004 (UTC)

** Seems better by now [[User:Sidney|Sid]] 08:40, 9 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Spotted moray]] contains useful information but needs wikification and formatting, plus additions by someone knowledgeable. [[User:Cecropia|Cecropia]] 02:46, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

** Still a stub, but probably could be removed from this page. 21:20, 13 June 2004 (UTC)

*[[Smallpox]] needs some heavy - duty copyediting. --[[User:Lee1026|Lee1026]] 23:01, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

*[[Eastern Wolf]] needs some specialist attention from someone with zoology knowledge. Really a stub, but the organisation of this page seemed liked the right place to put it. [[User:PASD|PASD]]

* [[Erogenous zone]] needs attention. (Sounds dirty!) Original author wrote front matter, concentrated on the female organs,, then forgot about the rest. -- [[User:Long Tall Texan|Long, Tall Texan]] 09:48, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)

* [[Chest]] - matter is copied from an old encylopedia. There is so much that can be written. [[User:Jay|Jay]] 10:49, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)

* [[Arm]] - medical mumbo-jumbo, I didn't understand a word in the article :( [[User:Jay|Jay]] 11:22, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

**Medical Terms required for proper description of structures, but point taken. Have made some minor changes, but I suspect rewrite is necessary. --[[User:Inkypaws|inks]] 14:07, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

* [[Seahorse]] - could use some reformatting, what to do with this seahorse list for instance, my knowledge on seahorses is limited. -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude]] 15:03, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

===Categories===

* [[:Category:Christian history]] --[[User:Eequor|Eequor]] 15:02, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

* [[:Category:Islamic history]] --[[User:Eequor|Eequor]] 15:02, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

* [[:Category:Law enforcement]] --[[User:Eequor|Eequor]] 01:39, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

* [[:Category:Nutrition]] --[[User:Eequor|Eequor]] 02:05, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

* [[:Category:Pharmacologic agents]] --[[User:Eequor|Eequor]] 05:02, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

** See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Drugs]]. --[[User:Eequor|Eequor]] 13:11, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

* [[:Category:Calculators]] Any more sub-categories besides TI graphing calculators?? [[User:66.245.121.84|66.245.121.84]] 17:20, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

===Communication===

*[[Mayra gomez kemp]] - Hoo, boy. I stumbled on this mess when I was wandering the [[new pages]] area. Anyone know enough about this individual to fix this before it goes on VfD? - [[User:Lucky 6.9|Lucky 6.9]] 01:22, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

**No, but I'll take a stab at cleaning it up a bit. [[User:Mud|Mud]] 23:37, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Communication]] - Needs work as an article. Needs lots of work as a subject link from the main page. [[User:Zigger|Zigger]] 16:48, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)

:reorganised [[User:Peter Ellis|Peter Ellis]] 03:31, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Callmanager]] - Apparently a Cisco systems software product, this article is extremely informal, probably written by a bored Cisco employee. [[User:Kevin Saff|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 [[User:Sj|+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. [[User:Rboatright|Rick Boatright]] 16:19, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)

===Computer science, computing and Internet===

* [[Shock site]]. Was going to put this up for VfD, but it looks like maybe 5% of this 32kb-long article may be worth saving. Suggest massive amounts of deletion. Self-promotion and vanity.

:It was already discussed in [[Shock site:Talk]] and elsewhere. It's quality and important information on the topic, which may not seem very important to some. What self-promotion you find there, I don't know? You do not seriously think it's being edited by Bob Goatse, do you? [[User:Paranoid|Paranoid]] 16:51, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Computer graphics]] - Needs a rebuild. The focus is too narrow on 3d-rendering. It lacks important events in CG-history, and a good discussion on the increasingly broad application of CG. [[User:MrMambo|MrMambo]] 17:17, 28 March 2004 (UTC)

**Rewrite underway at [[Talk:Computer graphics/Temp]].

* [[Computer numbering formats]] - very long article, lots un-wikified. Much info needs redistributed to constituent topics [[Binary numeral system]], [[Integer (computer science)]], [[Floating point]], [[ASCII]], [[Binary coded decimal]] and [[Data type]]. Removed a request to merge with [[Integer (computer science)]]. See [[Talk:Computer numbering formats|Talk page]]. [[User:Zoney|Zoney]]

* [[CPU electrical consumption]] - Needs updating. page has been neglected [[User:Crusadeonilliteracy|Crusadeonilliteracy]] 14:30, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

* [[CPU locking]] - Needs updating. [[User:Crusadeonilliteracy|Crusadeonilliteracy]] 14:30, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

* [[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. [[User:Smack|--Smack]] 22:59, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

* [[Design pattern (computer science)]] - Needs rewriting. A large article inspired by, or copied in part from, a 1995 book, w/ 50 links to substubs with names like "Interpreter pattern" and "Memento pattern". Some of the links from the master article, like [[anonymous subroutine objects pattern]], may be copyvio, with the initial article note saying it's "stub from perl design pattern book". [[User:Tempshill|Tempshill]] 18:30, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

* [[Front side bus]] - Needs much general updating in lieu of advances such as the AMD64's memory system, and other expansion. [[User:Crusadeonilliteracy|Crusadeonilliteracy]] 14:30, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

* [[Genetic algorithm]] and associated articles: [[crossover (genetic algorithm)]], [[recombination (genetic algorithm)]], [[mutation (genetic algorithm)]], [[chromosome (genetic algorithm)]], [[genome (genetic algorithm)]] [[User:Kwertii|Kwertii]] 16:23, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

* [[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]]

*[[List of device bandwidths]] - All speeds have to be verified, some are '''wrong''' (conversion Bit/s to Byte/s seems strange) (moved from cleanup [[User:Onebyone|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:List of device bandwidths|Talk]] ([[User:Scott McNay|Scott McNay]] 17:03, 2004 Feb 8 (UTC))

*[[OpenFacts]] Hello, press release. [[User:Meelar|[[User:Meelar|Meelar]] [[User talk:Meelar|(talk)]]]] 14:10, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

* [[Password]] - needs copyediting due to poor grammar and organization. Perhaps needs further information of a less technical nature. [[User:Quadell|Quadell]] 15:21, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)

**I've tried to clean it up a bit. I'd like to delete unimportant bits, but haven't for fear of offending. - A.U. (25 Apr 2004)

**considerable reorganizing done by now, perhaps better? [[User:Ww|ww]] 20:27, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

* [[RAID]] - either wikification or explanation of techspeak needed -- [[User:Kimiko|Kimiko]] 21:14, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

** Intro etc re-written in plain English. Would suggest that this might be adequate; the detailed stuff is mostly going to be of interest to people who understand the jargon. 08 May 2004.

* [[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. - [[User:David Gerard|David Gerard]] 11:27, Jan 14, 2004 (UTC)

** cleaned more; still far from perfect. - [[User:Cpm|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 [[User:Enochlau|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. [[User:Ww|ww]] 20:00, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

** Found an error in the Evolution of VB section and fixed it. Wikified a little there too. --[[User:Raylu|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. [[User:Wuzzeb|Wuzzeb]] 20:43, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)

*[[Winsock]] - way out of date, contents c+p from [[FOLDOC]], all external links dead -- [[User:Kwi|Kwi]] 23:34, Mar 24, 2004 (UTC)

*[[Terabyte]], [[zettabyte]], and [[yottabyte]] -- Please triple-check the histories of the prefixes by checking various Internet sites that talk about these. Are what was written before [[User talk: Hephaestos|Hephaestos]] edited them correct, or are what [[User talk: Hephaestos|Hephaestos]] made it say correct?? [[User:66.32.123.29|66.32.123.29]] 15:53, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

** For [[zettabyte]] and [[yottabyte]], Hephaestos' definition is certainly better than "...was chosen for some reason that is to be explained," which was there before his edits. For [[terabyte]], most sources I've seen use the 'monster' root, but those sources may be wrong. -- [[User:Wapcaplet|Wapcaplet]] 16:53, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

*** All Internet sites I have seen that talk about the history say that [[zettabyte]] and [[yottabyte]] come from Greek letters. I wrote "for some reason that is to be explained" because I wanted to make sure someone can explain why those Greek letters were chosen. [[User:66.32.113.34|66.32.113.34]] 17:00, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

** I've left some comments on [[Talk:Terabyte]]. Probably better to continue discussion there. -- [[User:Wapcaplet|Wapcaplet]] 17:07, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

*[[LL_parser]] -- Needs someone knowledgable to fill in the section on LL(k) Parsing - the information isn't generally available on the web. 7:49 24 April 2004 (GMT)

*[[GnuFU]] -- What doesn't it need? Overlong, unwikified, POV, semi-advertorial - yet somewhere under that is a decent article struggling desperately to get out. Needs work from someone with knowledge and/or more patience than I can muster. --[[User:ALargeElk|ALargeElk]] 22:20, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

** I know nothing about the subject matter, but attempted to make it ''slightly'' more wikified - apologies if I've lost valuable detail in making the text sound slightly less personal. Still needs lots of work by somebody knowledgeable about the subject. [[User:Underscore|Underscore]] 20:16, 29 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. [[User:Jam2k|Jam2k]] 21:25, 10 May 2004

*[[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.

*[[Field Upgradeable Systems Environment]] and [[Reconfigurable computing]] - in layman's terms, please [[User:Smack|--Smack]] 21:52, 27 May 2004 (UTC)

*[[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]]. [[User:129.132.179.41|129.132.179.41]] 17:04, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

*[[Decorator pattern]] has unprofessional "story-telling" writing. -- [[User:24.229.184.218|24.229.184.218]] 07:16, 20 Jun 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. -- [[User:Pne|pne]] 10:36, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

**I rewrote it so that it covers the general meaning in computer programming. [[User:Gdr|Gdr]] 20:01, 2004 Jul 3 (UTC)

===Countries===

*[[List of Croatians]]: Many linked pages about people and locations need almost continuous copyediting due to a productive but not particularly standards-abiding anonymous user from various 6x.y.z.w addresses (see some samples [[User:Elf#The anonymous Croatian editor|here]]). Also check for duplicated entries with slightly different spelling or word order in the title that should be redirects.

*[[East Germany]]: [[Culture of East Germany]] needs a major rewrite by someone who can understand it in the first place, or is more familiar with the subject. [[User:Heidimo|heidimo ]] 03:27, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

*[[Culture of Uruguay]] - a proper article needs to be written [[User:Deus Ex|Deus Ex]] 15:04, 15 May 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. [[User:Sj|+sj+]]

* [[Commercial Revolution]] - good dense info; needs fmt, clarif'n. [[User:Sj|+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 - [[User:Robin Patterson|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.

* [[Option]] (finance) needs some theoretical background and history. [[User:Kwertii|Kwertii]] 15:57, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

* [[Rocketdyne Santa Susana Field Laboratory Contamination]]. Once listed for deletion but kept. Needs NPOV, more. [[User:Angela|Angela]] 31 Jan. 2004 [[User:Angela|Angela]]

* [[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. [[User:Adam Carr|Adam]] 14:11, 17 Nov 2003 (UTC)

* [[Supply-side economics]] -- needs NPOV, see talk page. [[User:AaronSw|AaronSw]] 23:38, 24 Feb 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. [[User:Averell23|Averell]] 16:28, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Technical analysis]] has many specific techniques listed and linked, but most of these techniques don't have their own article. [[User:Kwertii|Kwertii]] 02:43, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

* [[Uneconomic growth]] - needs NPOV; should focus on the (new) term and notion in its title, not on the policies of George W. Bush.

* [[Unified Knowledge Management]] - orphaned article, stubby, could be good info if handled by someone with knowledge. Otherwise, maybe should be VfD. [[User:Ocon|Ocon]] 03:40, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

* [[Van Doorne's Automobiel Fabriek]] - rewriting needed. Many confusing sentences and grammar/spelling problems. Sport section worse than others. [[User:Punishinglemur|punishinglemur]] 22:14, 13 Jan 2004 (UTC)

* [[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. [[User:David.Monniaux|David.Monniaux]] 16:47, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

===Education, learning, pedagogy===

* [[Lifelong education]] Was a stub that was cleaned up from an unformatted article previously listed on cleanup; it needs far more work from someone familiar with educational practices. [[User:Alcarillo|Alcarillo]] 16:58, 8 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Efficient learning method]] Another stub that was cleaned up; needs a lot of work. [[User:Alcarillo|Alcarillo]] 16:58, 8 May 2004 (UTC)

*[[Homeschooling]] is nowhere near NPOV--it's written from a pro-homeschool perspective, and even the "opposition" section just attacks any critics. [[User:Meelar|[[User:Meelar|Meelar]] [[User talk:Meelar|(talk)]]]] 13:40, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

===Environment, geology, earth sciences, weather===

* [[Biodiesel]] contains a lot of good information, but is disorganized and contradictory in parts. It is one of the most realistic ways of replacing fossil fuel use. Maybe the recipe for making it should be moved off into a separate article? - [[User:Taxman|Taxman]] 23:51, Jun 28, 2004 (UTC)

* [[Geology]] is pretty skimpy. Should this be a major overview, or just a list of links to articles on specific topics? Splitting the work by sections might make it manageable. Opinions? See the [[Talk:Geology|talk page]]. [[User:Gwimpey|Gwimpey]] 00:31, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Geological phenomenon]] is this article useful? Maybe '''List of geological phenomena'''? Maybe should be deleted? [[User:Gwimpey|Gwimpey]] 00:29, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

** Moved. Someone please flesh out the list. [[User:Smack|--Smack]] 16:51, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

===Food, agriculture===

* [[Food]] is mostly a list of lists. ~ [[User:JakeVortex|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 [[User:David Thrale|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. - [[User:Hephaestos|Hephæstos]]|[[User talk:Hephaestos|&#167;]] 05:18, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)

** I've been working on it - I think I've helped, but I'm probably not done yet. [[User:Catbar|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 [[User:David Thrale|David Thrale]] 23:06, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

** I've done some work but there is still a lot that could be done here. [[User:Rjstott|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. [[User:66.32.156.73|66.32.156.73]] 00:56, 16 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[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? [[User:David Thrale|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)

===Games, entertainment===

*[[Turok]] - just created by IP only user. I have never played this so I can't really help beyond simple wikification. [[User:Burgundavia|Burgundavia]] 06:36, May 15, 2004 (UTC)

** I fixed up the structure and added some info. The info is correct, although it might be best to remove some of the enemy details. [[User:Aramgutang|Aramgutang]] 11:39, 15 May 2004 (UTC)

**The article has been expanded, but needs a complete rewrite for spelling and appropriateness. Most of the additions are in the form of a game guide.

*[[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. [[User:Lockeownzj00|Lockeownzj00]] 2:54, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

**Not to mention that [[Final Fantasy 1]] needs to be moved to [[Final Fantasy I]], except that there's a redirect there. Darnit. [[User:Grendelkhan|grendel]]|[[User_talk:Grendelkhan|khan]] 05:35, 2004 Jul 8 (UTC)

*All [[Wikipedia:Requested_pictures#Video_game_consoles|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. [[User:Lockeownzj00|Lockeownzj00]] 8:30, 13 June 2004 (UTC)

*[[Rayman]] needs more information. Lots of it. [[User:MajorB|MajorB]]|[[User_talk:MajorB|MajorB]] 02:27 PM, July 14, 2004

===Geography===

* [[Arthur's Seat, Victoria]] almost an Orphan stub, didn't have a stub message until I found it during a [[randompage]] wander. It's only incoming link is from the disambiguation page [[Arthur's Seat]]. There are other obvious problems. See the talk page. [[User:SkArcher|SkArcher]] 21:30, 27 Jun 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. [[User:Lee M|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)

** Re-formatted, clairfied. [[User:Auric The Rad|Auric The Rad]] 02:37, Jun 16, 2004 (UTC)

* [[Geneseo, New York]] and [[Geneseo (village), New York]] need to be both merged ''and'' separated in various ways. ''(also added to [[Wikipedia:Duplicate articles|DA]])'' --[[User:Bdesham|&#x266c; bdesham]]

*[[Haywards Heath]] near [[Brighton]], England -- Undoubtedly written by people living in that area, the article lacks statistical data and some more. [[User:KF|<KF>]] 14:38, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[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. [[User:Moncrief|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. -- [[User:Bcorr|BCorr ¤ &#1041;&#1088;&#1072;&#1081;&#1077;&#1085; ]] 22:54, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

*[[Latin names of regions]] - factual problems. [[User:Kingturtle|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. [[User:Radagast|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. [[User:209.149.235.254|209.149.235.254]] 22:50, 14 Apr 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. [[User:66.32.69.62|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. [[User:66.245.78.247|66.245.78.247]] 23:22, 28 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Case mix]] -- seems to be an esoteric [[Medicare]] term -[[User:Smack|Smack]] 08:06, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)

* The people on [[List of Seigneurs of Sark]] are all sub-stubs. [[User:Maximus Rex|Maximus Rex]] 07:50, 14 Nov 2003 (UTC)

* [[Numerus clausus]] -- An incredibly one-sided article which suggests the concept petered out some time in the 1930s never to be revived again. Should be revised by a (former) student at a German university. --[[User:KF|KF]] 20:47, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC)

* [[Politics of Algeria]] needs updating. Phrases such as "The next round of legislative elections are scheduled to take place in 2002" and "as of 31 December, 1990" make me cry. [[User:Quadell|Quadell]] [[User_talk:Quadell|(talk)]] 16:14, May 27, 2004 (UTC)

* [[Sandro Pertini]] -- biography of an eminent Italian politician, does not only need wikification; should be checked, preferably by someone from Italy. --[[User:KF|KF]] 01:23, 28 Dec 2003 (UTC)

* [[Subject-object problem]] - POV. [[User:Kingturtle|Kingturtle]] 23:33, 19 Nov 2003 (UTC)

* [[Chief executive]] - A disambiguation page. I'm not sure if [[Head of government]] is the correct disambig. for non-CEO uses, though. [[School district]] is a particulary tricky case. I mostly just don't know such things. -[[User:Spikey|Spikey]] 19:49, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)

* [[sovkhoz]] is barely a dicdef; it could use a good encyclopedia article from someone versed in Soviet economics. [[User:Alcarillo|Alcarillo]] 20:24, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Nationalist Congress Party]] ad for an Indian political party, POV [[User:GreatWhiteNortherner|GreatWhiteNortherner]] 04:53, May 11, 2004 (UTC)

** Actually, the previous content was a copyvio. I NPOVed it completely. Still a stub that needs (non-partisan) work. [[User:Alcarillo|Alcarillo]]

** Made a few more changes but I feel the long list of party principles is way too wieldy. [[User:Virendra|Virendra]]

===Historical figures===

* [[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 [http://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/people/i_r/lane.htm] and [http://www.vmi.edu/archives/Civil_War/lanejh.html].

*[[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). [[User:Adam Bishop|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. [[User:Flauto Dolce|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. [[User:Rmhermen|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. -[[User:Smack|Smack]] 21:38, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

* [[Fernando Lopes]] - Needs to be formatted into Wikipedia coventions. And needs to be edited. [[User:Kingturtle|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. [[User:Onebyone|Onebyone]] 01:11, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)

** Like it or not, the facts have been checked. The man *was* a charismatic leader - [[User:Unkamunka|unkamunka]][[User talk: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 [[Wikipedia:cleanup|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... [[User:Onebyone|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 - [[User:Unkamunka|unkamunka]][[User talk:Unkamunka|.]] 12:45, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)

**Her case was in fact taken up by the NAACP, see: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/jimcrow/stories_events_morgan.html

**I'm asking for help because I feel that I am not the best person to edit this article.

* [[Heseri]] Dead-end-page. needs wikification desperately by a specialist in chinese history. [[User:Panta rhei|Panta rhei]] 13:28, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

===History===

*[[Macedonian Empire]] seems to be a text on the history of the Macedonian empire only, needs lots of work and more information on the empire itself, also after Alexander the Great, it jumps to the conclusion and ends the empire, it needs serious formatting, is copied/pasted from [http://members.fortunecity.com/fstav1/macedon.html here] although it could be written by the user himself.

* [[History of Africa]] - Shockingly Eurocentric! Could use a couple hours of time from someone familiar with basic African history, and much cutting back of duplicate European content. That any article on African history doesn't detail black African states like Ghana, Mali, Songhai, Kanem-Bornu, Kano, Ashanti, Oyo, Benin, Ife, Monomontapa, or the Swahili-speaking city-states in East Africa, just to name some of the most notable. -- [[User:172|172]], May 3, 2003

** Agreed, and phrases like "Spain had completely thrown off the Muslim yoke" aren't what you'd call exemplary NPOV either. The subject is far too big for the way that ths article tries to treat it. Really, it should be a very general overview of regions and centuries peppered with links to other articles. A bit like [[History of the United States]] only several times the area and at least 10 times the timespan -- [[User:Onebyone|Onebyone]] 18:44, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)

** POV seems improved but historical account is still very sketchy. Needs more from some knowledgeable historians. [[User:Zizonus|Dr. Z]] 04:15, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

* [[Babylonia and Assyria]] - all the articles linked on that page will desperately need some attention, as they apparently all come from the 1911 EB. I'm pretty sure they'll be extremely out of date by now. [[User:Adam Bishop|Adam Bishop]] 04:25, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)

* [[Bretton Woods Conference]]. Needs [[refactor]] by knowledgable person. See [[Talk:Bretton Woods]].

* [[Consequences of German Nazism]] -- Not too bad now as an introduction to the post-war situation. However, the article will probably benefit from many readers skimming it, adding things (or at least suggesting additions), creating links, etc. [[User:KF|<KF>]] 23:28, 13 Jan 2004 (UTC)

**Did a rewrite of the German section of it -- [[User:Merritcat|Kathrynn]] 14:45, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

*[[Prussian people]] (ie, the Balts, not Prussia, etc!). 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]]. Archaeological info would be valuable. Info in [[Origins of Prussia]] are a bit too general and specific to geography, not ethnology. Contributions of famous Prussians would be useful.

The space of Fourier transforms of Lebesgue-integrable functions (i.e., functions, the integrals of whose absolute value is finite) is not well understood, last time I heard. The Fourier transfrom of such a function may fail to be Lebesgue-integrable, so "properly" [[improper integral]]s appear in the inversion theorem. The set of [[tempered distribution]]s is its own image under the Fourier transform, so that version of the inversion theorem works out neatly.

*[[Fame (movie, TV series, and theme song)]] - moved to [[Fame]], which was made a disambig page. Individual arts on the movie, Broadway show, TV series, and song need creatin'. [[User:Sj|+sj]][[User Talk:Sj|+]] 00:44, 2004 May 7 (UTC)

* [[Saxophone]] - i don't know where else to place this request. We really should have a [[Wikipedia:Images needing attention]] page. My request involves the bottom-most image of the saxophone article. It really should be placed horizontally, rather than vertically. [[User:Kingturtle|Kingturtle]] 02:06, 26 Jan 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. -- [[User:Infrogmation|Infrogmation]] 18:24, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

* [[Lynsey De Paul and Mike Moran]] - To borrow a phrase commongly used for humans:Something might come out of ''it'', but only if ''we'' shape it into a good ''article being'', hehehehe...in other words, theres potential there but someone needs to fix it. -- ''[[User:AntonioMartin|Antonio Suffered soul Martin]]''

**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) --[[User:VampWillow|VampWillow]] 13:44, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Hardcore punk]] - according to the [[Talk:Hardcore punk|talk page]], needs someone to sort out the genres, fix mistakes, make it less California-centric, clean up bias...

* [[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. The rock band [[Kansas (band)]] gets no mention in the Kansas article other than a disambiguation link. On my 'to-do' list, but I'm not a high-powered jazz expert.

* [[Moonspell]] & [[Slayer]] - Both need attention from someone who knows more about the bands than I do. [[User:Cbguder|Cbguder]] 00:30, Jun 5, 2004 (UTC)

* [[Erik Satie]] - several inacuracies: e.g. no way "furniture music" is applicable to all of Satie's music (max. 3 or 4 of his later compositions); Satie's music can only be called minimalist if not connected to [[minimalism]] (even the 'precursor to minimalism' is a bit over the hill - let's say he was of some inspiration to some of the minimalists); whether humorous applies to his compostions in general is debatable (think e.g. "Socrate"); "18 hours long" is NOT a universally correct description of the execution time of [[Vexations]]; "forerunner of dadaism" debatable: rather the other way around: some of his music like Relâche appears to have been influenced by dadaism, although arguably in soul he was some kind of dadaist avant-la-lettre; Not sure whether "Parade" could have been much of a contribution to being "taken serious" as a composer, considering the typewriter and stuff (the relative succes de scandale of "Parade" also wasn't near to Stravinsky's Sacre du Printemps "succes de scandale" only a few months later, which overshadowed "Parade"'s success considerably): the publication of his 3rd gymnopedie nearly 30 years earlier, on the other hand, appears to have been taken quite serious by the press at that time; Mentioning only the Olof Hejer integral recording seems a bit one-sided (there are several recordings of Satie's works that claim integrality, e.g. [[Claude Coppens]]' integral piano recording; The walking back and forth to Arceuil is only true for the last period of his life (e.g. the address 6, rue Cortot is NOT his Arceuil adress (Montmartre?); The "penniless Bohemian" on the other hand is more applicable to the earlier period of his life (before Arceuil), as is the Valadon episode (so the Rue Cortot/Valadon paragraph referring to 1893 should definitely come before the paragraph mentioning the Arceuil walks); "Debussy and Ravel among Satie's friends": he fell out with both of them! They even weren't Satie's friends at the same time while Debussy and Ravel where not on friendly terms; Satie was NOT the centre of groupe des six: Cocteau was (Satie rather was brought in in the role of "eminence grise"); missing: fundamental changes in Satie's life, his musical aspirations, and views, probably somewhere around the turn of the century (harmonic experiments before the turn of the century; takes up classical harmony after the turn of the century; Moving from Montmartre to Arceuil; esoteric sects before the turn of the century; music-hall compositions and adherance to several avant-garde movements after the turn of the century; etc...); some odd details at least as important as the Valadon episode are also missing, e.g. his emprisonment for writing a joking postcard; discoveries in his appartment by his friends immediately after his death; descriptions of some of his major works; texts published by Satie in newspapers etc...; his drawings (of himself -"Je suis né très jeune dans un monde très vieux" - and of numerous buildings in all kind of metals); his friendship with [[Man Ray]], contributing to the first [[Ready Made]]s ([[Found object]]s); his relation to the surrealists; ... SORRY FOR NOT INSERTING THIS DIRECTLY IN THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE BUT I HAVE NO BOOKS AT HAND FOR VERIFYING DATES, ETC... - could some scholar specialised in Satie take this at hand? --[[User:Francis Schonken|Francis Schonken]] 20:58, 16 Jul 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. [[User:KF|<KF>]] 08:53, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

* [[Nikola Tesla]]: the [[Nikola_Tesla#Early_years|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. [[User:Securiger|Securiger]] 16:59, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

**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. [[User:Abqwildcat|Abqwildcat]] 22:16, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

***It is not "pretty factual". See [[Talk:Nikola Tesla]] for some of the fairly major errors and exaggerations I have picked up so far.

*[[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.

*[[Tightlacer]] - Those who have been at work on this article seem to be real aficionados who keep adding names and external links without ever having a look at the very stupid definition. --[[User:KF|KF]] 18:17, 6 Jan 2004 (UTC)

** I've worked on the text, and renamed it to [[Tightlacing]] as it seems to me that the practice is a better encyclopedic article name than the people who do it. [[User:Morven|&mdash;Morven]] 07:56, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC)

*On the [[swimsuit]] page there is an [[:Image%3ABikini_Model_Jassi.jpg|illustration]] that is bizarre and misleading. It depicts a woman wearing a bikini swimsuit and a metal neck collar with a leash ring. Metal neck collars are not typical components of swimsuits. It would be better if the example illustration on the swimtui page depicted a more typical swimsuit that did not include a metal collar. -- [[User:Dominus|Dominus]] 17:25, 28 May 2004 (UTC)

===Religion, mythology, holidays, cults, self-help===

* [[Akashic Records]] - Rewrite necessary. -- [[User:Schneelocke|Schnee]] 20:05, 15 Sep 2003 (UTC)

*[[Varnas]] is a concept from Hinduism, but this article is very hard to understand and needs going over, probably some wiki-ing as well. [[User:Meelar|Meelar]] 05:05, 28 May 2004 (UTC)

**I did some wikification to give better clarity to the article.[[User:Jam2k|Jam2k]] 19:57, May 30, 2004 (UTC)

*[[Goddess]] -Article is almost entirely about modern Goddess worship. Very short on historical goddessess. [[User:Rmhermen|Rmhermen]] 23:23, May 1, 2004 (UTC)

*[[Alms]] - Needs lots of work and clarification to be a useful article. --[[User:Alex S|&#913;&#955;&#949;&#958;]] [[User talk:Alex S|&#931; ]] 01:23, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)

**I waded into the fray, but it's still very stubby.--[[User:Puffy jacket|Puffy jacket]] 13:25, 19 Jun 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]]. [[User:Michael Hardy|Michael Hardy]] 02:09, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

* [[Heathenry]] - nothing much about the religion itself, just some semantic points regarding the derivation of the name. Should this maybe be combined with [[Asatru]]? [[User:Kwertii|Kwertii]] 10:39, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC)

** No. A may equal B but not all B are A. Be wary of merging articles. Invariably someone has to demerge them. [[User:Sjc|Sjc]] 04:39, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

**I've done a full rewrite, but it badly needs a bit more attention. [[User:SetarconeX|SetarconeX]]

* [[Witchcraft]] An unholy mess of merged articles which need resolving and putting under correct and discrete headings with the article in question then being rewritten top to bottom. [[User:Sjc|Sjc]] 04:39, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

* [[Persecution of Muslims]] - some people are working on it, but it needs help. [[User:Kingturtle|Kingturtle]] 23:33, 19 Nov 2003 (UTC)

* [[St. Casimir's Day]] needs a going over for NPOV by someone who's not Lithuanian (or at least a neutral Lithuanian).

* [[The Bible in Islam]] serious NPOV problems here. Seems like it was written by Ali-Sina or someone from an anti-islam propaganda/agitation group many verses being quoted into fabricated contexts. Might be best for someone to re-write it.

**IMO, this article looks much better now, but it still needs some modern scholarship. [[User:RK|RK]] 22:09, Nov 16, 2003 (UTC)

*[[Korean mythology]]: contains stuffs from a famous apocryphal book that was cooked up in the 20th century and is believed by cult religions. --[[User:Nanshu|Nanshu]] 00:58, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)

*[[Irish mythology]] - really just a set of lists of wikis to other articles. [[User:Bmills|Bmills]] 11:28, 4 Dec 2003 (UTC)

*[[Marduk]] - contains both some wiki-authored content and a 1911 article. -[[User:Smack|Smack]] 06:42, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)

*[[Islamic eschatology]] -- I know that [[houri]]s and sex aren't the be-all and end-all of this, but I don't know much more than that. The article needs much more about Islamic ideas of personal eschatology (death, judgement, reward, punishment) and general eschatology (ad-[[Dajjal]], the [[end of the world]], etc.) from someone with some knowledge of this topic. [[User:Mirv|--MIRV]] 22:08, 6 Jan 2004 (UTC)

*All pages edited by [[User:66.207.39.62]]/[[User:DonaldSutherland]] on 8th Jan. He has made consecutive and numerous edits to some pages. It is very difficult to look at the changes using the Diff display. Requires lot of patience to go through the articles. The contents do not seem to be copied from anywhere. Here are the pages : [[Yoga]], [[Yoga_Sutras]], [[Krishna]], [[Bhagavad_Gita]], [[Prayer]], [[Brahman_(god)]], [[Tantra]], [[Hinduism]].

*[[Joseph de Maistre]] - needs wikification [[User:RedWolf|RedWolf]] 06:04, Mar 28, 2004 (UTC)

** Now edited, wikified. Still could use verification of translations of titles of works. -- [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] 05:22, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)

*[[Seven stages]] - marvelously obscure description of the stages of [[yoga|yogic]] progress. [[User:Smack|--Smack]] 05:59, 12 May 2004 (UTC)

*[[High Priest]] -- This redirect is correct in the Judaic sense, but not the Pagan/Wiccan sense. --[[User:Spikey|Spikey]] 02:39, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

*[[Genesis]] - makes no mention of the very common belief that the Bible is divinely inspired and infallible [[User:Smack|--Smack]] 17:36, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Slavic fairies]] - the article includes several older semi-stubs and needs sorting out the nymphs from the ghosts from whatever by someone who knows [[Slavic mythology]]. The title may be improper too. --[[User:Shallot|Shallot]] 11:41, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

* [[Friends of the Western Buddhist Order]] reads mostly like a publicity handout. [[User:Lumos3|Lumos3]] 20:31, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

* [[Sharia]] has some pov statements and many parts that could be reworded for clarity, particularly the "practice of sharia" section. --[[User:Rhobite|Rhobite]] 04:32, Jul 4, 2004 (UTC)

* [[Perun]], apparently "the highest god of the [[Slavic pantheon]]" -- middle paragraphs especially are in poor shape, but I can't make much sense of them without a better background in [[Slavic mythology]]. [[User:Triskaideka|Triskaideka]] 15:26, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

===Science===

* [[Rind et al.]] has a completely ianappropriate 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. [[User:Get-back-world-respect|Get-back-world-respect]] 07:35, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

* [[London force]] appears to have been slightly corrupted and therefore contains some gibberish text. Can somebody consider reverting to a previous version? [[User:mhall|mhall]] 04:12, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

** The "corruption" was some vandalism by [[User:199.235.112.238]]. I've manually reverted to an older version. --[[User:Diberri|Diberri]] | [[User talk:Diberri|Talk]] 04:48, Jun 11, 2004 (UTC)

* [[Competitive inhibitor]] is mostly a subset of information in [[Rate of enzyme mediated reactions]]. Can more info be added, or should it be merged? Even more problematic is page for [[inhibitor]]. [[User:Brona|Brona]] 21:14, 2 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Scientific method]] is a long article that's nearly been having an edit war. I think fresh blood will help. --[[User:Zandperl|zandperl]] 22:44, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

* [[Dust]] | [[Interstellar dust]] | [[Interstellar cloud]] | [[molecular cloud]] - the [[dust]] page needs more information, and should either have MORE about dust in the astronomy context, or remove all info about it and have a link to [[interstellar dust]]. Currently [[interstellar dust]] is a redirect to [[interstellar cloud]], but that's slightly inaccurate. [[Interstellar cloud]] and [[molecular cloud]] are separate pages that I believe should be merged. --[[User:Zandperl|zandperl]] 16:02, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

* [[Colors of chemicals]] is written in schoolteacher form, has some format problems, and also has some factual errors as brought up on [[Talk:Colors of chemicals|it's talk page]]. Needs help. --[[User:Alex S|Alex S]] 04:51, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

** Suggest move of relevant information to [[Color]] under the heading 'Chemistry of color' and keeping info on specific ion colors on this page. Needs discussion on [[Talk:Colors of chemicals|it's talk page]].[[User:MacGyverMagic|MGM]] 19:30, Apr 19, 2004 (UTC)

* [[Eye exercises]] is poorly written and informal. [[User:Timwi|Timwi]] 23:55, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC) Should be better now, although lacking specific examples of exercises one could do [[User:Enochlau|Enochlau]] 14:06, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)

** More copy editing, link to Bates method article and couple other examples of exercises from Asia. That probably covers it, but your mileage may vary. [[User:Heidimo|heidimo ]] 15:37, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)

* [[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. [[User:EdH|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. -- [[User:DrBob|DrBob]] 21:23, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)

* [[Therblig]] Too small. Somebody write more? [[User:Optim|Optim]] 07:45, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)

*[[Perspective]] -- an important subject in [[Cognitive Science]]. The article lacks any reasonable structure; lacks the "perspective" :-). As a first step, I spawned the article "Perspective (graphical)" (not the best name, I admit) to deal with painting, drawing, etc. [[User:Mikkalai|Mikkalai]] 23:56, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)

*[[Mel Frequency bands]] - incoherent cut-and-paste, but sounds like the topic might be worthwhile. Anyone able to clean this up and make it useful? Otherwise it probably gets deleted. [[User:Isomorphic|Isomorphic]] 06:28, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

*[[Reciprocal System of Theory]] - needs review from people experienced in [[Physics]] [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] 19:43, Dec 9, 2003 (UTC)

*[[Marduk (planet)]] - two poorly-written texts on one topic are not better than one well-written text. -[[User:Smack|Smack]] 07:04, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)

*[[Wave model]] As of 05:15, [[December 18|18 Dec]] [[2003]], the [[Wave model#External links|external links section]] seems inconsistently written.

* [[Statistical hypothesis testing]] - after attempting to read it, I don't really understand what it is.

* [[Camphor]] I made this page, however I would rest better at night if someone with a proper reference checked to make sure I have the correct isomer for the chemical name as in the diagram. [[User:Maximus Rex|Maximus Rex]] 04:23, 7 Nov 2003 (UTC)

**Checked with Chemfinder. Diagram is correct. Also added table of properties. - [[User:MacGyverMagic|MGM]] 09:14, Apr 19, 2004 (UTC)

* [[Nuclear fission]] Seriously cut-and-paste; headings handled wrong&ndash;I could fix that, but&ndash; not well organized; history is spotty, in places unclear or misleading. [[User:Dandrake|Dandrake]] 05:49, Oct 22, 2003 (UTC)

*[[Moment (physics)]] now consists of two separate articles, each author ignorant that the other was writing on that topic. One of them is material formerly at [[moment]], which is now an article on the more abstract mathematical concept of moment, applied in probability theory, that evolved out of the physical concept of moment.

** I've done some cleanup; page could use some fact-checking now. --[[User:Diberri|Diberri]] | [[User talk:Diberri|Talk]] 06:06, Jul 14, 2004 (UTC)

*[[Thermodynamics]] has a lot of unclear information that probably shouldn't be in the article in the first place. Has virtually no information on the development of thermodynamics, notable contributors, etc. -[[User:Smack|Smack]] 23:29, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)

*[[Reliability testing]] is virtually devoid of useful information. [[User:Smack|--Smack]] 18:41, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

*[[Chemical oceanography]] has good info, but needs organization and more depth. --[[User:Flockmeal|Flockmeal]] 20:50, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)

* [[Friction]] -- this article contains some dodgy-looking physics which needs checking and revising by someone who knows about this field in detail. -- [[User:The Anome|The Anome]] 12:31, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

* [[Pathogen]]. This article seems very rudimentary. I have done some tidying, but it really needs someone more expert than I. [[User:David Thrale|David Thrale]] 00:19, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

** I gave it a bit of attention but it definitely needs more. [[User:Heidimo|heidimo ]] 16:42, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

*[[Quantum phase transition]] This needs to be verified and wikified by someone who can understand it. [[User:Thue|Thue]] 18:54, 27 May 2004 (UTC)

:The article is much better now. I don't know what qualifies to remove it from here. It's certainly not featured article standard yet. - [[User:Taxman|Taxman]] 15:27, Jul 14, 2004 (UTC)

*[[Girdler Sulfide process]] This needs some copyediting and a bit of general cleanup; the English is not too great. -- [[User:Pne|pne]] 15:51, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

*[[Personology]] - could really do with some critical content to balance out the pro-Personology POV. &mdash;[[User:Stormie|Stormie]] 06:06, Jun 25, 2004 (UTC)

** I've given this article a more NPOV/skeptical balance I think. Certainly less 'rah rah!' for Personology in any case.

***Some of that editing for POV removed some material without taking it to the talk page. I've since moved it to the talk page. Much of the NPOV editing was good though. - [[User:Taxman|Taxman]] 13:55, Jul 14, 2004 (UTC)

*[[Atomism]] - a total train wreck. horrible grammar, non-sequitur images with nonsense captions, possible inaccurate information, etc. article satrts out ok then quickly devolves into incoherent philosopical rambling, and an evolution/creationism debate. --[[User:Deglr6328|Deglr6328]] 03:04, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

===Sociology===

* [[Coming of age]], surprisingly, is mainly about Australia and Japan. It would probably be best to start the article from scratch and then incorporate the material that is already there. [[User:KF|<KF>]] 13:48, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

* [[Gang]] is rather minimal. I've put some suggestions on its talk page, but I someone much more expert than I am should work on this one. -- [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] 06:33, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)

* [[Incest]] has an NPOV header on it, and also needs sections and embedded references. [[User:Zandperl|zandperl]] 23:27, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

* [[Heteronormativity]] has tremendous POV isues, and is a term mainly found on the wikipedia and forks [[User:Sam Spade|Sam]] [[User talk:Sam Spade|'''Spade''']] 05:13, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)

* [[Jukes and Kallikaks]] - needs more specific information about the families, accuracy of data, and the way the information was used. [[User:Cecropia|Cecropia]] 22:48, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

:I initially added a whole lot of information about ''The Kallikak Family,'' but I have since split it off into its own entry ([[The Kallikak Family]]) and simply linked it. I don't know as much about the Jukes however. --[[User:Fastfission|Fastfission]] 00:07, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

*[[Arab anti-Semitism]] -- [[User:Elian|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.''

*:[[User:Mirv|&#8212;No-One]][[User talk:Mirv|&nbsp;''Jones'']] 17:51, 24 Jun 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. [[User:SSherris|SSherris]] 03:22, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

===Sports===

* [[Ashes series]] badly needs information about the history of the contests (ie.) who won it in which year [[User:Jam2k|Jam2k]] 19:38, May 31, 2004 (UTC)

* [[Dog agility]] needs information, mostly links, about the sport for countries other than the USA. Also needs addition of correct (per international agility rules) metric measurements.

*[[Babe Ruth]] is really well-written, and then cuts off immediately. It reads like a to-do list from his divorce onwards. [[User:Meelar|Meelar]] 05:36, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)

*[[Riddick Bowe]] needs to have the timeline information incorporated into a real article.

*[[Indianapolis 500]] is missing a lot of information about the race's history. Not a lick of info about the controversy of the CART-IRL split in the 1990s and the Indy 500's role in that, for example. Nor is there much about the uniqueness of the race: the qualifying (Bump Day, etc.), the drinking of the milk, even the name "Gasoline Alley" is never mentioned.

===Technology===

*[[Stirling engine]] - two thirds of this article is a huge external links section. The information in the external links should be incorporated into the article, and the external links trimmed down somewhat.

* [[Alternative technology]] is more of an informal rant than an article. Needs major re-write and wikification. I think it's redeemable, however. [[User:Heidimo|heidimo ]] 23:58, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

**Not much wikification to be done. I didn't rewrite but I edited. Still seems like an "informal rant." --[[User:Raylu|raylu]] 22:44, May 12, 2004 (UTC)

* [[Arcology]] listed in Science above - not really sure what category it belongs in.

===Transportation, tourism===

* [[Tourism]] - Most of huge article is one heading - History. Needs sections, organising, swapping, re-editing (move stuff to other articles?) [[User:Zoney|Zoney]] 00:21, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

** major copyedit & reorganization done -- 10 May 2004

*[[Peugeot]] - Needs more information, the models need some articles as well.

*[[Renault]] - Missing a lot of models, needs more history.

===Miscellaneous===

*[[Counterculture]] - A number of the statements and arguments here seem highly contestable and POV. [[User:AndyL|AndyL]] 01:12, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

* [[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. [[User:Joy Stovall|Joyous]] 03:08, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)

*[[Adar 2]], [[Adar 1]] - suggest these are merged into [[Adar]], there seems to be some confusion/contradiction between the three articles and [[Hebrew Calendar]] as to which is the extra month and which is "really" Adar. [[User:Onebyone|Onebyone]] 23:56, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

*[[Beard]] - Apart from not being wikified, the newly added history section contains some cryptic references: ''Gynick games'', ''Septa'', ''[pg 291]'', ''2 Sam. c. x. v. 4.'' etc. Can anyone make head or tail of them? [[User:KF|<KF>]] 19:35, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

* [[Leather virgin]] -- it's in the [[list of lifestyles]], and I got mad that there was no article, so I took my best guess. That my guess makes sense makes it worse, I suppose, since "a '''leather virgin''' is a type of chicken" would be obviously wrong.

* [[Payola]] could use more work from somebody who knows more. [[User:Heidimo|heidimo ]] 22:56, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)

* [[Barton (village), Vermont]] and [[Barton (town), Vermont]] have identical text but different demographics, combine? It looks weird if you open them in two tabs and switch between them :) [[User:Dori|Dori]] 05:43, Nov 15, 2003 (UTC)

* [[Mint (coin)]] - Mostly about the US. [[User:Onebyone|Onebyone]] 16:45, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

* [[Semi-detached]] -- needs some historical & sociological data, and also a picture. Anyone living in a semi-detached, please go ahead. [[User:Wikikiwi|Wikikiwi]] 22:14, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

**[[Integument]] has been moved to [[Wiktionary:Transwiki:Integument]]. Someone who understands interwiki links needs to delete it and replace it with whatever redirects are appropriate. [[User:Tannin|Tannin]] 14:17, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

*[[Talk:U.S._two_dollar_banknote]] -- Please look at the links and compare these pages to the page for the $2 bill.

*[[Large-sized note]] Are there any differences between those notes and today's small-sized notes missing from this page?? Try adding an extra column to the table in this article for the designs on the back; use http://www.currencygallery.org as a reference tool.

*[[List of ZIP codes in the United States]] -- Please try as hard as you can to make the range list as close to being complete as you can. [[User:66.32.69.217|66.32.69.217]] 20:10, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

*[[No symbol]] -- Can you add more uses?? [[User:66.32.76.46|66.32.76.46]] 01:56, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

*[[Super]], [[Mega]], [[Ultra]], [[Hyper]], [[Giga]], [[Max]] Can you try to make these pages say as much as possible about these prefixes?? [[User:66.245.127.182|66.245.127.182]] 16:10, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

*[[AutoShapes]] -- Please try to expand, as well as putting links to this page at whatever Wikipedia pages it is appropriate for. [[User:66.32.141.228|66.32.141.228]] 17:26, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

*[[List of first names]] -- Please try to make the classification of these names into 2 groups as close to being complete as possible, only half are currently mentioned. [[User:66.32.118.139|66.32.118.139]] 23:18, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

*[[Ricochet]] the article seems fine, but it should be moved to Ricochet(Half-Life-Mod) and replaced by a disambig page (see it's "what links here"). We also should check weather Ricochet(Psychology) or something related exists and if not create a stub. I'm too tired for something that complicated [[User:Lady Tenar|Lady Tenar]]

*[[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. [[User:66.32.121.159|66.32.121.159]] 16:31, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)

*[[Series (U.S. currency)]] Please triple check everything in this article to make sure everything in this is correct, as well as thinking of Wikipedia articles besides the dis-ambiguation page [[Series]] to have links here. [[User:66.245.89.64|66.245.89.64]] 21:50, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)

*[[List of flags with blue]], [[List of flags with red]], [[List of flags with white]], [[List of flags with green]], [[List of flags with yellow]], [[List of flags with black]] -- Please complete these lists to inlcude all flags of world countries. If they get large, you may change them from a single list to multiple lists by continent at one article. For extra credit, you may also add sections of these lists for states of the [[United States]] and provinces of [[Canada]]. [[User:66.245.114.155|66.245.114.155]] 19:51, 8 May 2004 (UTC)

** Merged them all to one list --[[User:Ævar Arnfjör<eth> Bjarmason|Ævar Arnfjör<eth> Bjarmason]] 15:18, 2004 May 17 (UTC)

*[[Large denomination bills in U.S. currency]] -- The picture of the $10,000 bill doesn't appear to look like an ornamental design of 10,000, contrary to the information below about the large bills. [[User:66.32.149.224|66.32.149.224]] 23:51, 9 May 2004 (UTC)

*[[Amateur pornography]] -- Just not very well written. --[[User:Spikey|Spikey]] 02:34, 14 May 2004 (UTC)

*[[Greek numerical prefixes]] and [[Latin numerical prefixes]] -- Can you put links to these articles wherever appropriate? [[User:66.32.94.216|66.32.94.216]] 14:35, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

*[[List of American companies]] -- This article is a problem, see [[Talk:List of American companies]] for details. [[User:66.245.2.68|66.245.2.68]] 02:25, 29 May 2004 (UTC)

*[[Interdependence]] - The current version is just a dicdef. -- [[User:Kieff|Kieff]] 06:19, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

*[[Solace]] - three issues that need seperating or formatting to make sense. I thought the computer club bit should be deleted! [[User:David Thrale|David Thrale]] 15:48, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

*[[Chinhai]] - I am suspecious because the anonymous user posting this wrote in the edit summery ''Military post taken by the British in the [[First Opium War]]'' (which is true), but in the article wrote about slang for a beard. So this smells of false information. [[User:Thue|Thue]] 21:19, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

*[[Franklin half dollar]] Any picture of the coin?? Any Wikipedia articles that can link to this article?? [[User:66.245.121.84|66.245.121.84]] 17:17, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

** I filled out the Franklin half article a bit, adding a coin specs table, and linked it from [[United_States_half_dollar_coin]]. It could still use a photo. [[User:Kmccarty|Kmccarty]] 13:36, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

*[[Canada dollar]] - At this moment, the Canada $20 bill now has its own article with a link added to it. When articles for other Canada currency denominations get their own articles, can you put links to them in here as well?? [[User:66.245.12.82|66.245.12.82]] 23:02, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

*[[U.S. ten dollar bill]] - Can anyone add any detailed information relating the stories involving the Ronald Reagan $10 bill that was rumored by various Internet sites in 2001?? [[User:66.245.22.202|66.245.22.202]] 01:00, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

*[[Imperial Seal]] - important but still a poor deadend stub

*[[Open standard]] - currently obviously working entirely within the ___domain of computing, which is a little too specific. Also does not clearly put that ___domain in a wider context. Probably needs attention from someone who knows about standards processes. [[User:Andrewferrier|Andrewferrier]] 18:09, 2004 Jul 19 (UTC)

* [[Wikipedia]] -- Needs much more timely overview info, in addition to the long history. Links to news, press releases, stats, etc. [[User:140.247.101.94|140.247.101.94]] 22:07, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC

* [[Wikipedia:List of images]] Im hoping that this will eventually be a comprehensive list of images on wikipedia, but for now it needs to be filled in! [[User:Theon|Theon]] 20:10, Apr 26, 2004 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion|Wikipedia:Votes for deletion]]: Whilst this page is clearly needed, it is poorly thought out. It should be divided in such a way that weekly, or monthly imput can be displayed on seperate pages... Further it seems only to be activly used by a limited number of prople, with good intentions, but given this it is clear that it needs a beter method of administration, as imput remains on the page farrr to long to be of value to users wishing for feedback.
