Cleanup calendar : Newest | Earlier this month | 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.

October 28: List of 1500 malformed wiki brackets for cleanup

I've got a list of wiki pages with malformed syntax - in particular malformed wiki brackets (not closed or opened properly). At first I tried fixing these pages myself, but quickly realised that there were far too many for just one person to do - so I am posting to Cleanup asking for help. For each item there is a link to the article that has the problem, a description of the problem (the type of mismatched brackets), and the beginning of the line that has the problem (so all the problems should hopefully be easy to locate). -- Nickj 00:56, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Today's other items

  • Born in Flames: Needs editing into Wikipedia NPOV style: at the moment it's advocacy. -- The Anome 02:11, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Cleaned quite a bit. Took out as much POV as I could without compromising too much of the film's theme (from what I could tell; I haven't seen it. someone who has should probably check it too). -R. fiend 18:05, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Vitor Belfort Needs much copyediting and wikification. --LeeHunter 18:26, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Boer (goat) just needs some general cleanup and improvement. —siroχo
  • Orange (word) - basically says there's no word that rhymes with orange. Needs fact-checking given the VfD listing of quorange. - RedWordSmith
  • Interesting number paradox a mathematician has to rewrite this article away from its sensationalist, rather than encyclopedic style. Some statements are plain false if under scrutiny (I've already removed the most evident one). Mikkalai 00:03, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Duban - unwikified text dump. RickK 21:22, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Jeans - needs a lot of work including wikification and rewriting. Lots of material reads like it was copied from other places. Were jeans really invented in Genoa, or do they just derive their name from there? RickK 21:11, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)

  • "stephen d. lee" needs factcheck, wikification, and (obviously) a move to a real title. -R. fiend 18:11, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Lorraine needs some tidying up/NPOVing: and can Condom-the-place, Gers, be separated from the object (slightly inappropriate in a library). Likewise Saint Gaudens from Haute Garonne leads to a person. Jackiespeel 17:31, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Reggio Emilia approach - This article is yelling at me :'( Sarge Baldy 04:28, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
    • Might be a copyvio; the sentences I checked turned up alot of verbatim google hits. Is it public domain? Are they all wikiclones? Well, I got it to stop yelling at least, Sarge (there there...) -R. fiend 05:40, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Eric Schmidt - Most likely press release from Google; probably copyvio; needs dePOVing. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (hopefully!)]] 01:24, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Norfolk Southern, while wikified, reads like a corporate brochure. Doesn't seem to be a copyvio though. I don't know anything about this company, so I can't even try to fix it. Kiand 01:17, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • I did a bit of cleanup on it today slambo 23:40, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Avraam benaroya looks like someone's rather long speech. There is useful information here, but it is certainly not in the format of an encyclopedia article. Needs some serious pruning, formatting, TLC. SWAdair | Talk 07:40, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

October 25

October 24

  • Incarnations of Immortality - needs copyediting badly. Could use some more information other than spoileriffic plot synopses, plus a lot of wikification. Copyedited "On a Pale Horse" and "With a Tangled Skein" sections, but needs a lot of attention from someone who has read the other books recently. Munkymu Oct 25, 2004
  • 3dmm - unwikified text dump. I'm convinced this is a copyvio, but I can't find where from. RickK 05:11, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Oera Linda - The book itself is almost suredly a hoax. The atricle does not make this clear. See http://www.earth-history.com/Europe/eur-oera-intro.htm http://www.nsm88.com/articles/oeralindabook.html and others. If this book is going to shake up the known history of Europe, why doesn't the article tell us what it says? RickK 04:56, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg - Not an encyclopedia article at the moment, in that it talks entirely about his role in the Valmy campaign. Plus, it's at the wrong place, since he was Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Plus, Duke of Brunswick oddly redirects there...and so forth. -- john k 04:52, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Politics of Hong Kong - Need to update and refactor the summary of the Article 23 controversy. Need to Tidy information imported from the CIA factbook. The lists of political parties, leaders, and pressure groups should be merged with List of political parties in Hong Kong. It would be nice to have short summaries on the list page of their positions, but the NPOV requirement may make terse summaries problematic. -- Beland 04:33, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Hong Kong Basic Law Article 23 needs to be re-factored. Right now, it's too much of a chronology of news events. It also needs (another) copyedit and NPOV/fact check. See the talk page for more notes. -- Beland 01:02, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Max Alvis. The initial entry is plaggued by errors and omissions, so I made a new one. MusiCitizen 21:33, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Digital Network Theory - reads like ad for book. Needs lead on actual subject and wikiformat. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 20:16, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Ue o muite aruko - not sure what to do with this Deus Ex 19:02, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Expect it's Japanese or Chinese song translation, unless notability can be shown, I suggest it be VfD. Needs format at very least. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 20:20, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
I think it is valid, but it needs to be moved to Seven seas and it could do with some context (pirates and such).

[[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 20:18, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)

Did the move, still needs context. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 20:25, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Richard Coyle - wikify
  • The Shadows potential to be a great article, but several 1 sentence paras, and various sloppy organization. Someone with more knowledge of the band should approach this. —siroχo
  • Ultras - was on Cleanup back in September, but has since been expanded (so I've removed the earlier listing). Currently needs someone to check the grammar. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 11:58, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Inertia (DC Comics) - needs context from someone who knows their DC Comics. —Stormie 11:00, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
    • Done. Although I don't know why someone bothered creating it, considering he isn't even mentioned in his only enemy's page. --Pc13 15:36, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Union (proposed future of the EU) - is this really "the proposed future to the evolution of the European Union", or just some anon's rambling?—Stormie 11:00, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
Rambling. The EU has already turned down Morocco.Probably need to put on VfdGeni 13:51, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Judging from the history of the user, this is some anonymous rambling worthy of very speedy deletion. Aecis 14:14, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
After some research on http://www.chemfinder.com I've come to the conclusion that not much can be said about this acid. And we're not a chemical database. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 12:51, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
Chelating agent useful in spectroscopy. Will try to expand in a few days. Cool Hand Luke 21:04, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Edah - Um, okay, but what is it? RickK 06:21, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Leech (comics) - was tagged but it seems never listed. I was halfway through cleaning it when I realized it looks completely bogus. Google wasn't too helpful. If anyone knows more about X-men than I do (ie anyone), then please confirm or deny this and then clean it or send it to VfD (or do a speedy if it's nonsense). -R. fiend 02:25, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • There was a minor character named Leech in the X-Men, but all that stuff about leeches called Steve and Durwin sounds like a load of crap. See [2] for some info that sounds a lot more like what I remember. —Stormie 11:04, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
      • That's basically what I thought. Deleted 90% of the info and made a substub. Feel free to expand, anyone. -R. fiend 18:18, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Transthyretin - smells of copyvio, but no source could be Googled. Is worthy of an article (the protein that carries thyroid hormone in the blood) but the present is frightfully bad. JFW | T@lk 22:53, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Anansi the Spider - missing context (fictional or mythical?); is this the proper title for the article? [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 20:36, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
Comment:Turns out that that was about a cartoon hero, right now it's a disambig to an African folk hero and the cartoon hero. Kappa 02:35, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Comment: if this is changed into a footer, the placement of this template in the articles that use it needs to be changed as well. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 08:46, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Dave Sim unsubstantiated hyperbole, not even close to NPOV -- Rick Block 01:18, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Captain Albert Steiner was posted as a cleanup but not listed here. He's a character from "Final Fantasy IX" which my son happens to have. See, it does pay to have a game console at home.  :^) I've cleaned and formatted it somewhat. - Lucky 6.9 00:13, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Gregg Alexander - an absolute mess. RickK 23:43, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Kisii - unwikified text dump, possibly copyvio translation from http://www.kisii.com. RickK 23:21, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Octaviano Ambrosio Larrazolo - unwikified text dump. RickK 23:02, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Birzebbuga - one short sentence about the town, one long paragraph about the town's marching band, huge photos of questionable copyright status. RickK 22:39, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Andrea Spinks - a POV mess, reads like a copyvio. RickK 22:29, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Heart Mountain War Relocation Center - Kiddie-wiki sans real wikis, but a good start to a legit article. I'm surprised this wasn't already listed! - Lucky 6.9 22:08, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • The Foot Shooting Party - thought it was patent nonsense, but it really is a Leonardo DiCaprio flick. Fannish and breezy style, no wikis, no formatting, no external links and lacks info. - Lucky 6.9 21:51, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Did some cleanup, still a stub, though it's only a 27 minute short, there probably isn't much more that can be said. RickK 22:30, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • OID and Object identifier should be merged into one article. Ray Dassen 20:58, 2004 Oct 21 (UTC)
  • Servite--what name should this article go under? Needs wikifying as well. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 19:23, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Painting -- while it would of course need more content, it's also needed that someone cleans up all the different link lists. ✏ Sverdrup
  • David carson - google scores plenty of hits so appears notable, article needs overhaul though. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 17:37, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Cleaned it, now it's a regular sub-stub and should be expanded. --ZeroOne 17:54, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Mugwump needs formatting, better flow, and additional information --thames 13:36, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Lionel Robbins was mostly an unwikified text dump. I improved it a little, put it still would benefit from wikification and verification/fact checking. jni 13:33, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Economy of Switzerland needs formatting and factchecking. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 09:49, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Mulayam Singh Yadav needs to be reverted, vandalism--nixie 07:58, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Sabbatai Zevi - NPOV checking needed.Iain 16:35, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Portlands Energy Centre - unwikified text dump. RickK 05:41, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • Communes of the Lot département - almost every active link leads to the wrong page or to a disambiguation page. Anyone know the standard disambiguation for French communes? Rmhermen 03:43, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
    • The standard disambiguation for French communes (when needed) is: "commune, département". For instance, we should have: Bach, Lot, etc. Thanks for working on this! olivier 06:25, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • Red Herring (magazine) - Judging by IP, obviously the editors of this magazine have been adding to this entry. Lots of self-promo-type stuff. [[User:Davodd|DAVODD «TALK»]] 01:19, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • Chen Duxiu - Have corrected much of the original problems which resulted in cleanup request; still needs some copyeditting and some reworking of the biblio (chinese needs to be in parenthesis). Watch for continuous reverts by users meaning well but new. [[User:Tomf688|Tom]] 01:17, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • Naron--is this from Portugal? Spain? Needs formatting, context. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 00:32, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • Warlock Lord - substub that couldn't be substubbier - he's a character from Terry Brooks' novels, if you need context, but that's all I know. —Stormie
  • Dong Khanh - Some sort of vietnamese emperor? --Pyrop 04:11, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)

  • Mancur Olson - unwikified text dump. jni 14:36, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Synderesis - text enclosed in question marks is scanning errors for Greek text; someone learned in Greek needs to read the article and put the appropriate Greek words in. -- 00:28, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

October 19

  • LEPrecon is extremely breezy and fannish (hey, that kinda works!) not to mention unwikified. Could grow into a nice article. - Lucky 6.9
    • It's wikified now, but with more attention could grow into an even better article than it is currently. -sbeath
      • Agreed. Much better. - Lucky 6.9 21:53, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • I thought it seemed a bit... "fannish" still. I did a little copyeditting. And tried to get rid of the places where it said "I think that"...
  • Lisp Machines, Inc. - unwikified text dump. RickK
  • Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Some parts are pretty messy, for example the part where it describes the things that Dr. Weird as done in the opening sequences, or the part about Meatwad's brain + I cleaned up meatwad and dr wierd a bit, not sure if its much better though. —siroχo
    • Isn't there some rule that Wikipedia isn't an episode guide? This article lists all episodes... [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 18:41, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • Jakob Maria Mierscheid - a confusing mess, not yet in English, and not yet clear what it's saying; it resembles to some extent its counterpart on de: (which has further ext lks) but does not parallel it. Is "he" notable, or VfD fodder? (Removed from LoPbN where "fictitious politician" is reason to disqualify, since article is too vague to change that description.)
He is a fiction (a kind of joke actually) although a well known one. His "personal data" really is on the website of the German parliament, "his" article in the social democratic paper exists and sometimes he is mentioned in publications of the Bundestag. -- Zeitgeist 18:40, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
It's from a user who was permanently banned on the German wikipedia for trying to insert blatantly pro GDR POV statements in articles. I guess its best if you just delete the section. -- Zeitgeist 18:42, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Macedonian Empire All one paragraph, not in Wikipedia style, needs NPOV ("From this world of daring and passion, of questing and contradiction the robust Hellenism of Macedonia carried the art of man to the ends of the inhabited world, bestowing poetry upon the mute and, in the infancy of mankind, instilling philosophical thought.")
  • Leroy Chiao no lead section, not in complete sentences
  • Heinz Leymann - not sure if the subject is encyclopedic, but the current content belongs at mobbing, if anywhere. Niteowlneils
    • Mobbing itself could do with some tidyup. Jackiespeel 16:52, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Rebecca Riots - needs npov work - [[User:Cohesion|cohesion ☎]]
  • [[List_of_stations_of_the_Paris_M%E9tro]] The stations, except a few, shouldn't have their own page. Isn't there a map of the Paris Metro? [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]]
    • The talk page has a big discussion about this problem from an old VfD. Someone went in and fired off pages for all of them, now they sit stagnant. Half a year ago there was much talk, but nothing was done - the VfD essentially didn't go through. If the deletion call succeeded, you'd probably end up with something like the TTC subway, which I prefer, personally - stations are listed on a page for their line, rather than a page for every station. The other extreme is the London Underground approach. The difference between the Paris and London pages, of course, is that there were enough Londoners (and there was possibly enough history) to flesh out a good number of the London station pages... Any volunteers for Paris? Krupo
    • Cleanup instructions: If any station page linked there is just a few lines long, redirect to [[List_of_stations_of_the_Paris_M%E9tro]] and remove the link from that page. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 06:09, Oct 18, 2004 (UTC)
  • Wachovia Financial Center - Bulleted list that smells of a copyvio, but google doesn't find anything. --Kbh3rd
    • Copyscape.com showed one 2-sentence bullet to be a copy from the Miami Herald, which I've fixed. It needs bullets-into-prose. -R. S. Shaw
  • I'm not sure its a clean-up issue, but JongPark has made a number of new pages for unused scientific neologisms regulome, funcomics and expressome (that do need clean up and wikifying if they stay), and seems to have replaced content on the Genome and Proteome pages--nixie
I've moved funcomics to functomics, and changed everything currently here[4] to more standard formatting, but they do still need help rather badly--high headline to paragraph ratio, let alone issues like whether the topics are actually valid. Niteowlneils
I assume that the same person was also making changes from here 211.230.32.87 since they were happening at the same time. Some topics might be candidates for the wiktionary, but I would err on the side of deleting a few--nixie
Oy vey! OK, I've cleaned up the IPs formatting, as well as User:Jong. Niteowlneils 21:58, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • NT (temperament) - Looks like one of the Myers-Briggs types. This might be a copyvio, but if not it need formatting and wikifying. It must be likely that there are some similar articles for the other types. -- Solipsist 08:38, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

cleaned Hors up a little more. Not enough information to be more than a stub. Also, looks like someone has done some work on this already. Munkymu 18:55, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • D4 - this is possibly interesting about 4 being unlucky, but doesn't belong here; should this redirect to Dublin 4 as it used to? - Mithent
  • T.J. Hamblin - notable person? [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 17:37, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)
    • Wikified, deleted the part that read like a resumé. Is he notable though? -R. fiend 19:52, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Isaac_Asimov_Complete_Bibliography partially wikified by a number of wikipedians, but a lot more needs doing. Any Isaac Asimov buffs ready to help out? -- Cje 11:07, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC). I've added a number of wikilinks. Ray Dassen 16:19, 2004 Oct 15 (UTC)
    • Some details would be nice, like publication dates and whether the book is fiction or non-fiction. MK 07:11, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Chemical hazard, Nuclear hazard - basically empty. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 05:36, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)
  • List of biographers - This article is so incomplete it's a joke. Obviously it can never be truly "complete", but right now it's a list of random authors that must have popped into someone's mind. Of the thousands of biographers out there I don't know why these few made the list. Needs work or it should go. -R. fiend 04:30, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Autonomous Learning - don't know if this is nonsense that should be deleted. It certainly needs a cleanup. GreatWhiteNortherner 03:19, 2004 Oct 15 (UTC)
    • I see some potential in this article. Corrected grammar, set as stub and deleted POV paragraphs (which was half the article). --Sw5000 16:30, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Cyropaedia (Xenophon)--wikify, style, verify?

October 14

Committed proposed POV cleanup, perhaps quotations should just be removed Zen Master 18:02, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

i removed them and tried some filler i hope its good enough anyone feel free to add of course--Larsie 21:34, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

has anyone tried the link on this "article" the info is almost an exact copy and needs to be either changed immediatly or deleted--Larsie 21:42, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Particle (band) - are these guys notable? I'm thinking of listing of VfD if not. - Ta bu shi da yu 02:52, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • I'd be inclined to VFD - one album on an independant label, it seems. I'd probably vote to delete. —Stormie 11:21, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Hydrogen fuel - section headings, there may also be a duplicate to merge this article into. Rhobite 00:12, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC) Note: It's copied from a USGov site, so it's not a copyvio, but it still needs cleanup and possible merge. Rhobite 01:46, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)
    • Part can be merged with Hydrogen, part with fuel cell. Should probably redirect to fuel cell. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 13:30, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)
  • Whitby Town F.C. - nonwikified and very long JFW | T@lk 11:29, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • List of state leaders in 2004 - The list of Asian countries is far from complete Aecis 14:34, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Pneumoconiosis#Incidents - Ominous tone. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 22:04, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • Skytrax - unwikified. RickK 19:47, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • List of Charmed Good Beings/Temp - a mess. Unwikified, uses British terminology (series instead of season) for an American show, uses phraseology which sounds like it's copied from elsewhere -- "Her face lined with years of wisdom, her hands the fountainhead of a power beyond belief, the Warren witch" for example. I assume this is about the TV series Charmed? The article certainly doesn't SAY so. RickK 19:40, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • Rudolf Benesh - unwikified text dump. RickK 18:59, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • Captain George Shelvocke - a mess Sarge Baldy 14:58, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • Toxic mold - Needs less conversational tone. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 13:31, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
    • First pass at POV cleanup. added info, needs more scientific info. Zen Master 21:02, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Peace of Passau - needs to be reworked, am reading around subject but anybody who knows about it want to have a go? edd 08:48, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Vladislav Vancura - Oy! RickK 07:26, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • Alson Weber - POV, non-Wikipedia standard format. RickK 07:18, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
NPOV-ified, rewrote in more standard format. Is he actually in the hall of fame individually, or as part of the team? May need to be rolled into a page on Kitchener-Waterloo YMCA Volleyball Team, unless he did something else notable. Munkymu 18:27, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I did some POV expungement and added a couple appropriate wikilinks. It might now have grown from substub to stub. —Anville 23:13, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
