It's difficult to find good sources; Google searches turn up Investopedia, sites promoting various financial products, "standby letter of credit" scams, and other junk sources.

- The Sopranos:
The whole article is unbelievably laboured throughout. Extent of content in Info' box has been discussed previously, and has been debated extensively but to no avail, thanks to the aggressive participation of non-registered IPs.

- Rail transport in Russia – Lede is short. Tagged for tone and neutrality issues. Information could be better-organized into sections and subsections.
- Rail transport in Queensland – Lede is very short. Much content is in list format; conversion to prose may benefit the article. Additional inline citations are needed.
- Bank of Hawaii – History section is very choppy, could use organization and consolidation into paragraphs. Most of the article is within its "History" section; better organization with new sections may be an improvement. Much of the content is missing inline citations.
- BAFTA Award for Best Makeup and Hair –
No lede.Entirely in list format (no prose). Unreferenced.
- – Added lede to the article. Northamerica1000(talk) 18:45, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
- Quarantine technology – Unreferenced. Citations and clarification needed. Primarily in list format; conversion to prose may be an improvement. Article tagged as providing insufficient context.
- Duane Hagadone – Lede is very short. List formatting could use conversion to prose.
- Halton Hills Public Library – Some sections are very long without any inline citations, could use some reduction. Article has no inline citations. "Assets" section could use rewriting to clarify the content.
- Hai Sing Catholic School – Prose is choppy, much of the article is in list format, which may be better as prose. The verifiability of the article is tagged as disputed. Unreferenced as of this post.

*Jeanie Johnston - "Personal communication" as a reference. Would someone please look at (and probably revert) this edit of Jeanie Johnston [6] I would explain that <ref>{{Personal communication, Aiseanna Mara Teoranta}}</ref> is not acceptable, (and it is tagged as such), but in the light of the reason given for the changes: (I reverted some of user Lugnad's changes, as he or she deleted withouth comment several unfavourable, but researched and sourced facts about the ship. Also fixed some typos.) It might be better received from someone other than I. Just to add, I have no idea what changes of mine are being referred to. Thanks, Lugnad (talk) 11:34, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for responding Lugnad (talk) 18:31, 10 February 2012 (UTC)- I've chopped the pers. comm. ref and claim. Bet it comes back. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:51, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
- Football hooliganism – Could use some copy editing. Some sections need more references. Some of the references need better formatting. The article would benefit from some of the information being condensed. Northamerica1000(talk) 06:44, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- Stormworld – The article has significant lists that could be changed to prose. Could use more references. Could use images. Northamerica1000(talk) 06:31, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- Open University of Sudan - A user that seems to be related to this university added lots of content. First I've rollbacked it, than I've replaced and fixed it as a minor layout copyedit. All this content is related to this university and may be useful but I still have the doubt that it's wroten as a sort of Brochure. --Dэя-Бøяg 21:23, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
- – Information very likely copied and pasted, or written verbatim per University literature has been removed. The article is now a stub. Northamerica1000(talk) 08:00, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Arthur 3: The War of the Two Worlds- credits need to be verified and probably consolidated (cleanup tag added last month but forgot to add here). --Skywatcher68 (talk) 15:25, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

- 1984 in organized crime –
No lede section. Empty "births" section. Unreferenced.Needs more references. Would benefit from summaries preceding the list information in its sections.

- Early classical guitar recordings –
No lede section.Some of the content in the "History of early classical guitar recordings" section may be better rewritten in a list format.
- – Added a lede sentence. Northamerica1000(talk) 16:03, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
Eco Marine Power– An article about a company that develops and markets environmentally friendly power and propulsion systems for ships and other vessels. The article is tagged as written like an advertisement, could use some rewriting. I added a few references to the article, which could be used for more inline citations.
- – The article has been cleaned up. It would still benefit from copy editing. Northamerica1000(talk) 11:46, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Economy of Cuba – The "Public Facilities" and "Other statistics" sections are entirely in list format. Article could use more inline citations, references.
