Cleanup calendar : Newest | Earlier this month | October | September | August | Old | Instructions
Please read Wikipedia:Cleanup process for instructions on maintaining this page. There may be more suitable pages for requests, see the resources for collaboration box on the right.
For articles that just need wikification, you should use the {{wikify}} template. See Category:Articles that need to be wikified for articles that need wikifying.
If an article needs further cleaning up, add {{cleanup}} to the top of the article. To see articles with this tag added, see Category:Cleanup
Some editors prefer that helpers work on leftovers and older articles, just to deal with them and get them out of the way. See the cleanup calendar for requests from previous months. But either preference, new or old; all help is appreciated. If you have a cleanup routine, add your name and your routine preferences (how often, old/new articles, what subjects, etc ) to the cleanup routine list.

Last 7 Days
November 19
- Vanagon: "this is terribly messy, and disorganized, i know, but i would appreciate anyone editing in any missing or incorrect info. thank you." Maybe we should just salvage what we can and redirect to VW Type 2 which has an extensive section on this model already. --rbrwr±
- Theory of conduct This was probably listed before but i came across it randomly...it is big and scary and needs alot of cleanup! -Mkrupnic 21:04, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- CEM integration This makes no sense to me. Katefan0 21:01, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)
- EarthSave Is this encyclopedia-worthy? Looks like an ad for a company. Katefan0 20:56, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)
- You can say it's along the lines of The Hunger Site, but it does look like a non-profit org to me. - Mailer diablo 22:22, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Polymorphism in object-oriented programming — two article parts not yet melded together, plus comment "Lots more to be said here, including generics..." OwenBlacker
- Mano River Union - substub hell on important topic
- Twiztid - extremely chatty. Copyright vio? Danny
- Thank god. It's a copyvio. Saves me having to spend my valuable time editing that crap. -R. fiend 16:36, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Washim - needs context badly. Also needs expansion (substub to stub, at least). [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (hopefully!)]]
- David McCullough Text dump. Possible copyvio? Definitely a notable historian who needs a good article. Academic Challenger
- Seems it's a cut-and-paste from several sources, at times badly melded together. Should we list it as a copyvio? -R. fiend 06:32, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Modern Antiques - orphan, chatty, wikify etc - maybe merge into another article --JTN
- Did a 100% re-write. Is it worth keeping though? Not sure how much this term is used. -R. fiend 08:47, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Rap Nigerien - wikify and general coherence. --DMG413
- Interesting... Rap nigerien (small n) was listed just two days ago! Do we need a merge? Grutness 06:15, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- DPPX -- Sarge Baldy 06:24, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)
- Rewritten. Check for any minor mistakes I made. :) - Mailer diablo 22:15, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Bored of Studies. Poor little orphan needs a good home. There's also the page Bored of studies, which I put a merge message on. Grutness 07:37, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- List of corset periods - was merged with a number of articles after listing on VfD. Needs serious cleanup, and also probably a different name. - Mike Rosoft 13:18, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Chakra - the introduction sounds a little bit strange, may be biased in favour of the existence of chakras, and doesn't seem to adequately represent the diversity of the traditions mentioned later in the article. The section on modern New Age notions is also strange with its many slashes, and may even be nonsense (I haven't put up any mental effort to determine this). arj 14:16, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
November 18
- Bill of Materials - needs a lot more text to make it non-obvious. JesseW 14:25, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Mediaeval India - Looks like it starts in the middle of an article. - UtherSRG 13:45, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Syntactic methods - utterly baffling and suspected of being a non-web copyvio. See also [1] Gazpacho 12:45, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Riverside International Raceway - unwikified, sloppy, badly written, unencyclopedic, slightly POV --Szyslak

- Private candidates - as a non-UKan, this article means absolutely nothing to me. I have no idea what it's saying, and the abbreviations have no meaning and there are no links to explanatory pages. RickK 01:12, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)
- Rewritten with context, links, etc. and moved to Private candidate --rbrwr± 21:48, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Panelology - unwikified, leaves a hole to be filled in. RickK 01:04, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)
- Abner Orick -- - PoV, chronologize, find out what "and 1997" means, since he lost that year. But consider just VfDing.
- Mairinque -- a city in Brazil. Looks like some struggling translation and maybe some cut-and-paste.
- Sexology -- article that's been mostly a skeleton with some lists for a long time. Now trying to turn it into prose in normal article form. -- Anon.
November 17
- Billie Sol Estes -- Very narrow account focusing exclusively on mysterious deaths...possible regurgitation from conspiracy theorist? Ellsworth 21:24, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Mary the elephant -- Not very grammatical, article starts with its death? Ashibaka tlk 20:34, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Portuguese 1807 Fleet -- An unwikified, unformatted mess. Katefan0 17:56, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

- The links to the lists of items to be expanded seems to have disappeared off the main community portal pages.
- Trusted Email Open Standard -- substub, points to a dead website. Is this still a live topic, and is it even of historical interest? -- Karada 14:22, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Scotism -- my own import from the public ___domain Catholic Encyclopedia text, needs heavy editing for POV and style. -- Karada 16:36, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Satellite Internet -- I've had a good go at cleaning this up, but more is needed. -- Karada 19:46, 17 Nov 2004 (UTc) +Additional cleanup done - if you cannot find an issue here, remove the cleanup notice and remove title from this list. Denni☯ 21:22, 2004 Nov 18 (UTC)
November 16
- Rap nigerien - unwikified mess without context. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 13:00, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
- Teddy Ruxpin - needs info on the cartoon next to the toy, maybe an image. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 13:00, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
- Mondlango - chatty intro, sparse information.
- Also lots of small paragraphs with own heading. Needs to have similar layout as other language articles. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 11:06, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
- How does Monnlango differ from Esperanto?
- Te Puea Herangi - one paragraph of unwikified textdump. Needs TLC. Grutness
- Atheist Jew - wikification. grammar. Redirect to atheism or Judaism??
- rewriten, but still sounds strange. does anybody know if this is a recorded phenom? Humble Fool
- Rejected - Huh? RickK 00:49, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
- I've done a major rewrite; see if you agree that it's better. I'm removing the cleanup notice on the presumption that it is. -- Antaeus Feldspar 07:46, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Hobbit (Denham) - POV, excessive use of bolding. RickK 23:39, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
- Maybe another title like Hobbit etymology fits better... [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 09:31, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
- Have cleaned up somewhat. Could do still do with a little more attention Arthur Holland
- Folk och Rackare Argh! Supposedly a Swedish pop band from the '70s, but it reads like a personal plea for more information on them, complete with someone's email address. I know nothing about this subject -- is it even salvageable? Katefan0 22:52, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
- moved request to Reference desk. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 09:43, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
- VIM and Emacs commands - orphaned, unwikified comparison of how Emacs and Vim differ in the commands used for three (count 'em, three) functions --rbrwr±
- Totenkopfring - unwikified, pov, with personal comments by the author here and there. A mess, basically. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 22:09, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Wikified and removed first-person comments and a bit of POV, but there's still a huge block of German text in the middle of the article. - RedWordSmith
- Moritz Schlick--needs majour cleanup and translation. 198.164.135.108 22:06, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Just check the history next time as all it needed was a revert. :) Maybe some cleanup still, but its back to english. -- [[User:Tomf688|tomf688]] 00:46, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
- Kevin Heffernan--what sport did he play? Needs clarification. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 21:13, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
- Perry Como -- The Talk page was a huge mass of copyvios. I can't confirm that the main article is a similar mass of copyvios but it reads like a transcription of articles written about Perry Como while he was still alive -- the familiarity, the present tense, the emphasis on what a great guy he is, rather than encyclopedic facts. Needs a massive re-write even if it's not copyvio. -- Antaeus Feldspar 19:46, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Wow. WORST ARTICLE EVER. Did a big cleanup, but someone should probably go back and sweep the floors. Deleted tons of stuff. It was a tribute, not an article. -R. fiend 23:48, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Filet mignon--I can't believe we didn't have an article on this. Is this a mis-spelling? [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 18:46, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
- No, that's proper spelling. Katefan0 20:41, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
Wind-up below says "See nhang for a wind-up that has so far not been spotted by wikidemics." Might need checking. - RedWordSmith 18:01, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)- Oh ha-ha, very funny. I get it now -- the message in wind-up is a wind up. [Rolls eyes] If someone could confirm please. - RedWordSmith
- Wind-up could be made more elegant - and the meanings separated.
- Arsenicosis - can someone fact check this one, sounds fishy. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 14:00, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
- Alcohol poisoning by another name?
- Huang Yuanyong strange formatting, at times ungrammatical
- Parthasarathy Kovil - a Hindu temple, I presume. Unwikified, stubby, lacking context. --rbrwrˆ (Relisted(had not cleanup banner) by JesseW on 06:37, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC) )
- wikified and improved a little (now at least it says where it is). Still a pretty poor stub though Grutness 06:58, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Speed Adventure - Tagged Oct 27, but not listed--similar to VfDed America Adventure (Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/America_Adventure). Niteowlneils 04:24, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Now on VfD. Prognosis: negative. -R. fiend 08:12, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Mellenthin Text dump, probably with bad title, possible copyvio. Academic Challenger 04:10, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Moved to Frederich von Mellenthin as per wikipedia naming policy/wikified and heading formatting, if copyvio, then needs rewording. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 21:07, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
- Tomás Ruíz González Unwikified, needs dates (at least) checked--ideally by someone fluent in English, but knows Spanish, as most hits are. Niteowlneils 00:51, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Norwegian Wood (novel) POV rant about japanese novel Lady Tenar 00:31, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Seems to be proper stub now. Needs expansion. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 14:02, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
- Shrone Hill - unwikified POV piece about a ___location in (I think) Ireland- I'm not sure where to begin, or whether to just send it to vfd. -FZ 02:10, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Male homosexuality and vasopressin -- needs copyvio checking (see its talk page), editing for style, fact-checking. Possibly contact original author? -- Anon.
- Original research, to Vfd. Wyllium 11:35, 2004 Nov 16 (UTC)
- John Nebthos, thick prose needs to be broken down. T.PK 18:17, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- If this is some guy's thesis, which it appears to be, should it even be an entry? Katefan0 17:45, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
November 15
- Public credit. Unwikfied text dump. I listed this here yesterday, but someone seems to have deleted it without doing any work on the article. RickK 23:32, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)
- Viera context please!
might be patent nonsense but i'm not quite sure-is seemingly some final fantasy stuff Lady Tenar 23:26, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)- It's a race from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, which links to it -- I've put a merge notice on it, since it's detail too granular considering that this race only appears in this one game.
- Walden O'Dell - Blatent POV, poor English, probably some factual errors - do "most" people vote on Diebold machines? Pakaran (ark a pan) 17:48, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Punk - This disambiguation page needs a major cleaning up, it's way too long, most of the meanings need to be trimmed and/or moved to separate pages to keep it ballooning into a monster. --Lexor|Talk 17:13, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)
- Shortened, remains are on talk page for inclusion in more specific articles. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 11:42, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
- bogan - needs NPOVing clarkk
- Yes, but how? The term describes a stereotype, and the stereotype it describes is accurately reported. It may appear to be a POV, but it would be difficult to write it in any other way. Grutness
- StarCraft Diplomacy - needs formatting [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 09:29, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)
- Five Patients Text dump. Copyvio? Academic Challenger 04:28, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Tabou Combo Probably a magazine article or something like that. Academic Challenger 04:22, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Alexander Hamilton - see [2]
- Winx Club Huh? Apparently some kind of animated TV show. Academic Challenger 03:02, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Grouphug.us - no consensus to delete on vfd -- Graham ☺ | Talk 02:12, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Retinoic acid - unwikified text dump. Copyvio? RickK 00:46, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)
- The beginning seems to be from the American Heritage Dictionary of the American Language. See [3], [4]. The rest seems to be from [5].
I'll list it for speedy deletion.--Falsifian 04:08, 2004 Nov 15 (UTC) - Sorry, I mean under copyright violaions, not speedy deletion. --Falsifian 04:14, 2004 Nov 15 (UTC)
- The beginning seems to be from the American Heritage Dictionary of the American Language. See [3], [4]. The rest seems to be from [5].
- Cunning folk lots of irrelevant asides, filler material and spelling mistakes. Bacchiad 08:56, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
November 14
- Reddiar - The English on this needs work. probably heading to vfd if it can't be fixed up. --DMG413 23:20, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Chris Barnes - needs a less breezy style and some NPOV; maybe we need a whole new page devoted to cleaning up these fannish music articles --Szyslak
- In fact, I propose that the following words and phrases be banned from Wikipedia for all time: "influential," "famous," "groundbreaking," "pioneer," "innovative," "devoted following," "beloved by fans around the world" --Szyslak
- Women's fiction - stubby, POV? --rbrwr±
- Nuestra Señora de Monserrate - Spanish/Portugese non-wikified article. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 19:43, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)
- It's in Spanish. I've tried searching for it on the Net, and couldn't find it, but I'm still convinced it's a possible copyvio. From the way it's written, I'd wager it's a press-release or a newsitem copied from a possibly local Christian magazine. --Pc13 18:14, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- The Spire - non-encyclopedic [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 19:43, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)+wikify, minor copyedit Denni☯ 20:29, 2004 Nov 14 (UTC)
- Beberrua - some text dump. Claims it was researched by writer. Needs serious wikifying and general tidy + possible rewrite. Estel 17:48, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)
- Spacesynth - never heard of genre, needs fact checking, could be a "vanity" genre. --Lexor|Talk 16:16, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)
- Knysna - full of trivia about some non-notable couple from Kent going on hilliday there. Joe D (t) 15:36, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- removed the trivia and folksiness to leave useful information. Still needs workGrutness
- Arana - something to do with a comic strip character. Deb 11:24, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- It's about the main star from the restarted Amazing Fantasy comic book, published by Marvel Comics. I'll take a look at it, possibly merge it with the Amazing Fantasy entry. --Pc13 18:16, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Ol' Dirty Bastard - full of spacing issues, capitalization issues, and the whole article has a POV-ish feel, mentioning that he was highly influential over and over. CryptoDerk 07:04, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)
- Tani tabbal Unwikified. Possible copyvio? If not, needs to be moved to Tanni Tabbal. Academic Challenger 05:15, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Polyculturalism - very short, second sentence is unclear, references and external links need vetting; one's commented out because it's 404 right now. - RedWordSmith
- Gundam Seed Astray - wikification - MattTM | talk 00:41, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)
- Imeta - no consensus to delete on vfd, suggest leaving it here for a month to see if it improves. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 00:37, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
November 13
- Ian Apperley Looks suspiciously like a vanity article to me Grutness
- Dry good No real content; mainly a plea for help with the topic. Joyous
- Dictionary coder needs context, verification, style. Eric119 22:45, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Drugware needs expansion, more formal language; perhaps merge with adware or spyware Joyous
- Wisconsin Mountain Bike Trails - I have no idea what to do with this. --rbrwr± 21:49, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Windows_NT_4.0_Enterprise_Server, Windows_NT_4.0_Server, Windows_NT_4.0_Terminal_Server, Windows_NT_4.0_Workstation - very short stubs which should probably be merged into another Windows-related article. I have also asked for opinions on Talk:Microsoft Windows. --rbrwr± 21:04, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Government Emergency Telecommunications Service - Raw text dump. It's from a US government site, so there shouldn't be a copyright problem, it just needs to be made into a proper article. -FunnyMan 17:39, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)
- I did some cleanup and wikification -- thickslab 15:41, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
- Robert lee ferris - needs wikification, and a lot of work.
- Don't bother; highly unlikely to survive VfD. -R. fiend 20:35, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Bottom-up parsing - context, formatting. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (hopefully!)]]
- William Jurgens - nothing but a quotation; no information about the man himself. It could go to Wikiquote, I suppose. --rbrwr±
- Jawbreaker - UGly! RickK
- Turned into disambig. Anyone who wants to write about Jawbreaker (movie) might as well start from scratch. -R. fiend 20:42, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Behija Zlatic -- Needs a few edits for clarity, wikify and NPOV. Katefan0
- Bit-plane - unwikified and nebelous block of text.
- Safelists - unwikified, mostly pov text dump Niteowlneils
- Thirty something -- Portions are not neutral, needs cleanup. Katefan0
- Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome - needs fact-checking, expansion. Contains a word, "statomoric", that occurs nowhere else on the net. Typo, or obscure medical term? -- Karada
- Olimpia Milano - Needs a lot of editing, some wikification, and an introduction. -- Falsifian
November 12
- Middle Passage -- This could be expanded. Also feels too conversational, needs style fixes. Katefan0
- Autonomedia -- Press release... Katefan0 22:18, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Summer Roberts - a mess. Highly POV. RickK 22:55, Nov 12, 2004 (UTC)
- Pietro Spiggia - devoid of actual information. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (hopefully!)]] 22:19, Nov 12, 2004 (UTC)
- Armando Quintero Martínez - wikification, formatting, categories. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (hopefully!)]]
- Wigg - dicdef(ish), and possibly too derivative of the OED --rbrwr±
- Scott Mutter is gushing, breezy, virtually unwikied. Thought it might be a copyvio but I couldn't find it. - Lucky 6.9
- Angels of the zodiac - needs sources. Google pulls up a few references (mostly personal websites), but nothing from any theological sources. -- Netoholic @
- Kenny Kramer - Layout; four large images should be resized or something. Actual text is ok. - RedWordSmith
- Removed all but 1 photo, which is plenty. -R. fiend
- Radiometric dating - underwikified, may need refactoring
- Svenska Lufttrafik - needs to be made into a real article. -R. fiend
- Barons di San Marciano - se Talk:Barons di San Marciano -- Graham ☺ | Talk
- List of locomotives - see Talk:List of locomotives/delete -- Graham ☺ | Talk
- List_of_hospitals_in_New_Zealand A country of 4 million people with only five hospitals? I don't think so... Grutness
- Expanded list, but still needs cleanup on cities. Katefan0 22:18, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Chills — survived VfD with only two voters, but needs cleanup. Cool Hand Luke
- How about merging/redirecting with fever? Joyous 02:57, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
- may also need a disamb for rock band The Chills, too (article coming very soon!)Grutness
- Anna Chlumsky — Makes sense only intermittently. Taco Deposit | Talk-o Deposit
- King Rising Levitation - Is this illusion only performed by this one magician? Is this magician noteworthy enough to have an article about? If the answer to the first question is yes and the second is no, then we need to get rid of it. If the answer to the first is no, then get rid of the Cory King info and write an article about the illusion and how it's performed. If Cory King is a notable magician, we need an article about him. If this trick is only performed by him, redirect to article about him. RickK
- Performed by more magicians than just him. I'll have a look at it in light of Wikipedia:WikiProject Magic. However, I think writing how the illusion is performed, would break copyright against the illusion. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]]
November 11
- Dario Di Martino - unwikfied text dump, written by a non-native English speaker. RickK 23:24, Nov 11, 2004 (UTC)
- Selection (genetic algorithm) - needs a little work. Sarge Baldy 23:04, Nov 11, 2004 (UTC)
- Oscar van Dillen - to conform to wiki-bio style and some de-wikifying (in fact its generally quite confusing) -- Solipsist 17:57, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Auckland University Students Association - two lines on the AUSA, then the rest of the article is on other student associations in New Zealand. Either it needs to be on the AUSA alone (with other articles for other associations) or it should be renamed University students associations of New Zealand or similar Grutness 12:14, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Darwinian medicine formatting. Dunc|☺ 11:21, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Opotiki Some interesting reminiscences, but do they belong in Wikipedia?Grutness 07:49, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Reminiscences deleted. -R. fiend 18:08, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Implicant Some kind of math concept? It's almost patent nonsense and an orphan, so I can't tell. Academic Challenger 05:31, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Saint Methodius - contains a text dump from some apparently free encyclopedia that should be integrated into current stub. --Whosyourjudas (talk) 03:37, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- That "free encyclopedia" is a Wiki mirror. Removing cleanup tag. Wyllium 21:25, 2004 Nov 12 (UTC)
- Wang Shiwei - looks like the start of an interesting article by an author whose native language is not English. Needs copyediting, fact-checking, Wikification, possible linking to the zh: wikipedia if there is an equivalent already there. -- Karada 00:14, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
November 10
- Lowell Weicker and Lowell P. Weicker, Jr. need to be merged. The latter article is much better, so if there is no information in the other one, the other one should be deleted and the good one moved there. Academic Challenger 02:27, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Intellect Games - underwikified, POV, typos -18.21.0.84 23:41, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I did some cleanup on this one. Toreau 10:56, Nov 11, 2004 (UTC)
- Brown basilisk - likely school project. Needs fact check and fmt, some content might be better at Basiliscus (genus). Niteowlneils
- Basiliscus basiliscus has similar issues. Niteowlneils
- Lisa Cheung - new page, I redirected it from Lisa cheung, but it seems awfully incomplete. Reads like vanity. Does anyone know her? [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 21:07, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)
- Didn't find anything about a notable teacher, so I changed to an artist that gets plenty of hits. Still a micro-stub, as I need to get to the bank. Niteowlneils
- Tlahuelpuchi - is this real or fictional? Needs fmt, and some context in which the term is found. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 21:01, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)
- Dominical letter - Someone copied material straight out of [6] Catholic Encyclopedia with some escape sequences (e.g. =92) all around. -- Paddu 20:15, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- canton of Villeneuve-l'Archevêque needs a term rewritten - "recutting of the districts": the historical event to which this refers to could be given a mention elsewhere.
- Gers (France): the Condom link still leads to the object rather than the place.
- fixed. -- Paddu 20:15, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Patrick Matthews substub on some bassist. Dunc|☺ 17:50, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Medha Hari - a Indian Bharatanatyam ballet dancer, seems notable, but the language is poor and it reads like an advert. -- Netoholic @ 04:39, 2004 Nov 10 (UTC)
- Paul Harris - unwikified text dump, but probably too rambling to be copyvio. He apparently is a musician of some not (try searching "Paul Harris" magic), but much seems hard to verify, movie claim runs counter to IMDb (diff Paul Harris) Niteowlneils
- I think you meant magician instead of musician. Anyway, I'll give a look and see if there's something salvagable in there. couldn't hurt my WikiProject Magic either :) [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 09:56, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)
- D'oh! Yes, I meant magician. Niteowlneils 22:49, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Echeveria - taxobox covers text and isn't aligned to the right. Can't find what's wrong, coding seems similar to box on Horse. If it's fixed, can someone leave an interesting factoid from the article at Template talk:Did you know? [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 21:51, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
- The coding is probably fine, it's just that there's no contraint on the width of the taxobox, as far as I can tell. Since this box has some REALLY long text in it, it takes up the entire article width. As a stop-gap measure, I placed the taxobox inside another table with a given width. Can anyone think of a better solution? - RedWordSmith
- The only other solution I can think of (done in the article) would be to put linebreaks in the long entries, but that's arguably just a hack that requires more work. Could/Should Template:Taxobox_begin set the width, preferably from a passed parameter? Or have a Template:Taxobox_begin_width_30_percent for these cases? Niteowlneils 02:14, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Gapan City lacks lead (where is this place?) needs wiki, possible copyvio; basically just a huge chunk of text, bits of which seem interesting, if true. --Woggly 10:11, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Condorcet Criterion needs a once-over for mos, wfy, etc.
- In Search of Space - Huh? RickK 09:06, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
- Calamity Jane (movie) - unwikified, extremly POV. RickK 08:38, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
- Took a crack at removing POV, some copyediting, also added context on their real-life romance or lack thereof. Katefan0 02:09, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)
- Haider - some kind of bio--nixie 08:05, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- New Trier High School - I deleted large chunks of text which were copies from the school's website and newspaper articles. This leaves unwikified text and not much worthwhile. I'm not going to list this on VfD because I *know* it's a notable school, but it should be clear in the article that it is. RickK 07:10, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
- Lotte Giants. Basically an ad for a baseball team, as it stands. Needs wikifying, deletion of ad elements, and expansion so it actually says something worthwhile. -R. fiend 06:17, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Need for Speed poor stub, lacks relevant informaiton SYSS Mouse 04:47, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- George W. Bush's first term as president of the United States - I just finished writing this article, but it could really use some more imformation and a few pictures.--The_stuart 22:02, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC) More information should be added, specifically about Bush's other policies beside foreign issues. -Simon 02:05, Nov 12, 2004 (UTC)
- WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain - POV and non-encyclopedic. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 18:56, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC)
- The Hollow (Charmed) - needs formatting, context. Does it even warrant own article? - [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 12:05, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC)
- The Turn of the Screw Very poorly written throughout, particularly section on plot. Rje
- Superbit needs a rewrite by someone familiar with the subject. Currently written in non-encyclopedian, first-person style. jni

- It needs a cleanup, but it is a valid phenomenon. Since there's a separate entry on it, there's no need for so much here though. Grutness
