Wikipedia:Cleanup
The cleanup page is a place where articles with problems (ungrammatical, poorly formatted, confusing, etc.) can be listed. Any user can fix or list articles here. After you fix an article listed here, remove the entry from this page.
Feel free to make use of the Wikipedia:Cleanup resources.
Older cleanup: Category:Cleanup by month. Pages are archived by month, but are still in need of cleanup (or de-listing if they have already been cleaned up).

Just to let everyone know, as of 08:31, 9 September 2006 (UTC), 17,703 articles were tagged for cleanup which is 1.29% of the English Wikipedia's articles.. Most of these articles can be found under Category:Cleanup by month and are not listed below. Anything you can do to help clear the backlog would be greatly appreciated.
Oldest listings
- Please help reduce the size of this page by removing listings from previous months that have already been fixed. You may also remove listings that have not been fixed, as long as you move any outstanding comments to the article's talk page, and make sure that the article itself is still tagged for cleanup.
Other sorting methods
- To view articles by topic, see Wikipedia:Pages needing attention (currently being reorganized to include all articles tagged for cleanup)
- To view articles by type of problem, see Category:Wikipedia cleanup categories. (Not all articles classified by type of problem show up in the general cleanup queue.)

September 10, 2006
- Politician - Cleanup tag was previously removed by a vandal, hence page could do with a good once-over before it's delisted. 82.36.124.145 01:24, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Ja Rule - The album Discography has been deleted. 82.36.124.145 01:24, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
September 8, 2006
- Hiroshi Abe (actor) - The text sounds like it's from a teen magazine. Also, the information about his likes and dislikes and weight and height etc. etc. etc. at the end of the article aren't very encyclopedic. --TonyM キタ━( °∀° )━ッ!! 10:37, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- KDZR-AM - Unfortunately, whoever wrote the original article didn't know how to use the infobox. I tried my best to format it correctly, but failed.--Desmond Hobson 21:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
September 7, 2006
- English passive voice - This article is both disorganized and confusing. See its talk page for more details. --Voidxor 05:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
September 6, 2006
- Incubus (demon) - As it stands now, this article is somewhat of a mess. Certainly there shouldn't be so many see also links, nor that bulleted list. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 19:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- I'll give it a try. :) Dlohcierekim 14:11, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- Did what I could. Rewrote part. Made bullet points into paragraphs. Removed extraneous links. If it's not germane, it's not germane. If in text, no need in links section. Incorporated and expanded some internal links into paragraph. Still needs proofing. Needs sources. :) Dlohcierekim 16:32, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- Stanford Cardinal- Not professionally written. No reference to the original name "Indians". Contains awkward segues.
September 5, 2006
- History of the United States (1988–present) - Article veers off topic.
- Chikungunya - The new virulent form of this mosquito borne disease is now raging through India, having infected over 1 million people in the last few months. It has the potential to infect hundreds of millions in India and elsewhere in Asia, and to disrupt world travel. The bottom of the page has become a sort of bulletin board for breaking news and resources, and is in great need of attention. As infection rates can surpass 50% of a locality's population, and Wikipedia ranks #1 for a search on this disease, significant editing would greatly benefit those seeking information.
September 4, 2006
- Gregorian Bivolaru - I've edited out the worst pov parts of this article, but it still needs some attention. Aecis Appleknocker Flophouse 22:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
September 3, 2006
- Egyptian burial - Poor grammar in several sections, and the section on The Indestructibles completely neglects the precession of the equinoxes, although the full article on the indestructibles is a bit more informative.
- Abu Hashim - A disambiguation page, but it doesn't link to any other page. I also have no idea what the first point is about ("People call the people which comes under the prophet's tree...") and there is no assertion of notability of the second Abu Hashim. Aecis Appleknocker Flophouse 20:36, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
September 2, 2006
- Delta Upsilon - Not scholarly at all, trivial paragraphs, needs to be seriously worked on. Reads like it was copied from a fraternity brochure.
- List of villages and municipalities in Slovakia - THis list needs alphatetical tidying up and sorting by region
- Thugaboo - This article is a mess and needs wikification, proper categorizing, more info, etc. --TonyM キタ━( °∀° )━ッ!! 14:11, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- Lionel Pickering - The article uses several slang/informal terms and expressions.
- Kule Loklo - Only ***two minutes*** after I submitted this article, someone tagged it as needing cleanup. I wasn't even finished editing it! What's wrong with it, other than containing links to two Wikipedia pages I haven't created yet, but intend to? I plan to add more to this article, including images.
September 1, 2006
- E-marketing, Online marketing - These two articles, with 100s of incoming links need a complete rewrite. There's a massive chunk of content in both articles which just refers to one book by Dave Chaffey, who originally wrote the E-marketing article in 2003[1] under the usename User:Dchaffey. The E-marketing article was expanded following this by various anons using only Chaffey's definition of e-marketing, and then forked out onto the online marketing article in which Chaffey's work forms the bulk of the article. Now maybe Chaffey wrote the absolute tome of intenet marketing and everyone in the industry uses his definition, in which case it would be OK. But I doubt that somehow. Online marketing and E-marketing need rewrites. Couple this with the fact that we have a un-Chaffey article at internet marketing which should probably be merged makes this a big job. - Hahnchen 21:20, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

- Movie Star Diet - Diet created in 2003 - I am not sure how much it is notable. (And some cleanup would have helped, because at the moment it looks a bit like an advertisement.) - Mike Rosoft 20:35, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- Marina (TV series) - Sorry for listing the article twice. I had attempted to clean it up, and now it's a mess again. A part seems to be taken from an outside source (I had previously removed other infringing material), the rest of the writing is just horrible. And the entire article is malformatted. Needs a complete rewrite! - Mike Rosoft 20:48, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- I have undeleted the article and reverted it to my revision. It still needs a lot of work - perhaps some of the non-infringing content added to the article could be useful? - Mike Rosoft 08:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- I rewrote the copyvio part and integrated it with the childish plot synopsis. Deflufffed. Left out the lyrics-- they don't belong in the article. It's still lame, but there wasn't a lot of meat with the fluff . :) Dlohcierekim 00:02, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

August 30, 2006
- Trademark dilution The text could be "diluted" into something less opaque.
- Levitation no intro, no separation between physics and esoteric meaning, somebody added a terrible esoteric and unsourced POV 'see also' section, intersecting the stub tag. Boo 03:20, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
- John Stafford (US politician)(born abt 1940, military lawyer)- No secns, no chrono flow, excessive admiration, PoV about how he almost stopped Vietnam War & unverifiable & PoV "faithful Catholic". Continue wikification.Jerzy•t
- List of female private detective characters - Either clean up or rename the page, leaving out the "private". See talk. <KF> 20:54, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
August 29, 2006
- Duff Beer comingles reality and fiction within the same section. Factual disputes are argued in the main article. Suffers from poor organization. This might require some serious Googling or sources to resolve just which/whether all the fictional Duffs really did appear. --Thatnewguy 14:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- moved the simpsons stuff to Duff Beer (The Simpsons), still needs some cleaning - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 03:33, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
August 28, 2006
- Algaculture. That was silly to take it down... it needs a LOT more work, sorry. Would anyone else mind taking additional passes at this? Nearly all the tons of links appear good, and I moved much, much more to the talk page for storage till it can be gone through fully. · XP · 19:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

- Heim (onomastics) I have never encountered a messier article in my entire time here and Ive been here a while. I don't even know where to start on this one. Tobyk777 05:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
August 25, 2006
- Kurt Nehrling I have a rough translation from German articles on Kurt and I would like some assistance in making the article clearer as well as add reference historical links.
--Mobilelearn 15:05, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- Craig David Where to begin, this is a general mess and reads like a washed newspaper. Kejoxen 16:52, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- Marina (TV series) - The plot summary and cast was extremely badly written (apparently not by a native English speaker), and malformatted. I did what I could with the article, but it still needs work (preferably from somebody with knowledge about this Philippine TV series). - Mike Rosoft 18:24, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
August 24, 2006
- Lipton Original Iced Tea Needs to be less advertising and more encylopediac, while Darjeeling tea (white) needs slight rewording - though the idea of a "fluffy" tea is interesting. Jackiespeel 15:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- Aries Mu - Needs prosifying of stats section and rewriting of text and stats in encyclopedic tone that will not need updates over time. Stats like age and words like currently become outdated in the blink of an eye. - Mgm|(talk) 11:52, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
August 23, 2006
- Laura Ingalls Wilder - This page looks plagiarized and it contains more information about Laura's daughter Rose than it does about Laura. More on the talk page. Dreadpiratetif 21:16, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Bandung - This article seems to be all over the place. Although it is on the right path to a good article, it still needs some taking a look at by someone who can do somewhat of an overhaul.
- Sat calculator programs - substandard stub, unwikified, unreferenced; if kept, it should probably be moved to SAT calculator program or a similar name. - Mike Rosoft 19:23, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
August 22, 2006
- Chan Yik Hei - Many of the claims (especially in the "unconfirmed critisms" section, but also scattered in the article) are not true. I have added an NPOV sign in the article but I think it deserved to be cleaned up. The article should also be rewritten to improve the overall flow.
- cleaned up. Splee 03:51, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
August 21, 2006
- Blue (boy band) - I've tagged this article for a clean up. Reasons for cleanup stated on Talk page. -- Sarz 10:27, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
August 19, 2006
- Phantasy Star Universe - Article has poor capitalisation, structure and parts that appear to be lifted poorly from webpages -Bigthecat 11:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- Coral Smith - This is frankly a terrible article. I have slashed and burnt (and there is no other word for it) as much as possible but I know nothing about this person or the show they were in so am unable to improve it further. It needs to be wikified and have what amounts to a total re-write. --Charlesknight 22:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
August 17, 2006
- Mara Salvatrucha - It looks like the gang this article is about may be getting overly involved in writing it. The best I could do was to fix up some punctuation errors. There are virtually no citations in any of the article, the grammar looks like a 5th grader wrote it, and I'm tempted to call their section on enemies a wikipedia enabled hit-list. Here's a quote from the discussion "it3 im C^ripK N i wanna say dat wikipedia needs sum more info bout gangs, even tho im C^ripK i noe sum MS shit. Cause they in ma bKloCC tha 13 stands 4 southside, tha 13th letter on tha alphabKet M 4 mexican mafia, dats sureno slang N shit, bKut MS took tha 13 2 reppK it 4 them" I'm tempted to delete it because I don't even know what it means, but I don't know the wikipedia policy on this. This article needs some serious love and attention from people who know more about it than me. -NorsemanII 09:57, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
August 16, 2006
- Flea circus - I cleaned up what I could, but more content knowledge is required to fix this article. The external links should help; I just don't have time right now. — Epastore 02:35, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- Scary Movie - the description of the plot is way too long, more of a book report summary, and much longer than necessary. JPG-GR 02:37, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- Magnetosphere particle motion - has a discursive conversational physics textbook style, not an encyclopedia article style. -dmmaus 01:22, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
August 15, 2006
- MFSTM. This article is only a stub - but it makes some dubious unsupported claims, which directly contradict a major paragraph of the data recovery article. There are also some very imprecise technical statements, and other style issues. A data recovery expert should rewrite this article. Mtford 09:10, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Marguerite D'Youville - unwikified, taken from [2]. (What is the source text's copyright status?) - Mike Rosoft 13:16, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Redondo Union High School. It is a stub although it's information is correct and comes from the school booklets, etc. Need help to verify some of the alumni listed..i.e. Brendan Fraser
- Jorge Dely Valdés and Julio Dely Valdes are about two twin brothers, both Panamanian footballers. So far, so good. However, the articles have exactly the same information, verbatim. Both players have played exactly the same number of matches with exactly the same number of goals for exactly the same clubs and have sustained exactly the same injuries. Aecis Appleknocker Flophouse 21:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Jason Becker, needs to be formatted, headings, with better flow and organization. Justinmeister 17:22, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
August 14, 2006
- François Vatel's link to château de Chantilly erroneously links to just the chantilly disambiguation page. Chantilly cream is also missing the story/myth of its own invention (it does appear in the Vatel article).
- List of curlers I suspect "not hairdressers" - can a couple of words be added. Jackiespeel 13:53, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- The word curling on the top line of the article is a link to the article about the sport, which in turn has a link to the Curling (disambiguation) page. The disambiguation page includes hair irons. I don't think the List of curlers page should have a link to Curling (disambiguation), because most of the meanings of "Curling" are proper nouns, not verbs, so they do not correspond to a meaning of "curler". Do we need a new disambiguation page just for "curler"?? Mtford 16:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Prison Tycoon- needs more information and better flow. needs to be encyclopediac. guitarhero777777 02:33, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

- Queensland Reds Needs a reformat.
- South Sydney Rabbitohs Has some spelling mistakes and is a bit all over the place at spots, just needs some fixing up
- Ballad of a Thin Man (a Bob Dylan song): I've edited this page quite a bit, but it still needs lots of citations. Mr. Wood 13:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

August 11, 2006
- Judy Ann Santos is written with lots of uppercase letters and has no proper formatting. - 上村七美 | talk 13:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
I've removed a lot of the excessive capitalisation in the titles. It reads like an article from a Fan Mag - deifinitely not up to Wiki standards. It needs a lot of clean up and objectification. I'll do a bit more when I've got time. Derby Dave 16:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Carrefour Just not a good article. Bad layout, confusing (possibly POV) paragraphs in the intro, which they certainly don't belong in. And just has quite little actual content other than the intro. - Рэдхот 14:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

- Bradford Bishop(bio of 30-year cold-case American murderer of own family, w/ dip. passport)+Did some cleanup, removed data for conspiracy theory that has no evidence given of notability. Still needs true-crime tone (implicit voice of Robert Stack!) removed, syntax tersified, etc, etc.Jerzy•t
- List of Hannah Montana episodes - Requires a lot of cleanup. I simply fixed some very unprofessional capitalizing and cleaned up episodes with no information. I still need experts to help give the page a more complete feel. User:docsteel92 22:13, 7 August 2006 (EDT)
- The Institute, Contemporary Music & Performance - Probably notable, but currently reads like an ad. Carson 06:07, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

July 31, 2006
- Al Leong - Article is insanely, unnecessarily long (subject is minor character actor). One user in particular, BBlackmoor, is insistent that it stay this large and continues to revert any revision attempts to shorten, despite objections of others. Perhaps more consensus or splitting the article into "Filmography of Al Leong" or some such would convince said user, who refuses to listen to rational and consistently violates Wikipedia:Article_size. Hope this is the right place for this. Vesperholly 08:46, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Treasure_of_the_Golden_Suns and Time is Money (DuckTales) - many of the Duck Tales episode guides need some attention, but these two in particular... they include phrases like "Back at the
ranchmansion", "Scrooge-tachi" (whatever that means; a Japanese suffix?) and excessive use of 2-3 word phrases quoted from the shows.
- Spell checked, de-humored, stylistic changes and removed parenthetical remarks for first 3 movies. Someone should check my work. :) Dlohcierekim 14:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- Spell checked and de-humored last two movie sections. Someone should go through and see if I missed anything and unify the style. :) Dlohcierekim 19:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

- Charles Jacobs (political activist) (and other articles cross-linked to it (in its "See also" section)
Please see my explanations of my concerns relating to the problems of inaccuracy of format and other inaccuracies being introduced for the past week into the first article (Charles Jacobs) and since yesterday the second article (Harold Pinter) by at least one other editor, SlimVirgin. She is continually (over and over again) reverting correct format to incorrect format and also reverting previously-deemed unverified or unsupported information by putting it back in the article without any checking or knowledge of the sources or the subject of the article or the format styles. These reversions are continually introducing mistakes and inaccuracies in these articles of living persons and also violating WP:BLP and WP:Citing Sources and WP:Reliable sources, as well as policies relating to Wikipedia:Five pillars. If she and other editors commenting in the articles' and my talk pages are administrators, I feel that they are abusing their privileges as administrators and not maintaining NPOV or even common courtesy, much less stated Wikipedia policies re: respecting the work of others. I have tried to bring these problems to these editors' attention, but to no avail. They basically gang up on me and attempt to make it seem that I do not know Wikipedia policies, but I have read the policies, and I do know what they are. That is why I am lodging these complaints.
(Other problematic things are being done to the Charles Jacobs-related articles by some other editors as well.)
Please see the talk pages of the articles (and those linked in the CJ article. Please see the pages on disputes about "accuracy" and "clean up". Thank you--NYScholar 00:55, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

- Back_Bay_(MBTA_station) - Multiple formatting errors, large picture taking of 1/4 - 1/3 of the article needs to resized or removed.
- Pawnbroker - very jumbled up and confusing. The mention of "Lombard" is not explained until the "Symbol" section, which itself is a disorganised mess. -- Earle Martin [t/c] 22:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

July 26, 2006
- Image:Death Penalty World Map3.png - this image is a (modified?) copy of Image:Death Penalty World Map2.png, which is on Commons. I have placed a tag at its description page to list everything that is wrong with it:
- The same mistake has occurred as in the previous version: Libya, which is by no means abolitionist in practice, has been marked as such. The map needs a thorough check against Use of death penalty worldwide to make sure that no more errors have crept in. (Western Sahara has been changed from "abolitionist in practice" to "retentionist", and it does not appear in the list; are there any references to legal death penalty use [as opposed to extrajudicial executions committed by armed groups] there?) In addition, it is inconsistent to mark states which have abolished death penalty by the 1972 Supreme Court decision (or earlier by law, or - if there is such - had reinstated it after the verdict and then abolished it again) as abolitionist in practice, while marking states where death penalty has recently been abolished on the grounds of the state constitutions (often because of technicalities) as abolitionist for all crimes. I don't think that any state can be considered to be abolitionist for all crimes, and I am not sure that the AI classification is useful for them: even in the states where the death penalty doesn't exist the perpetrator could, at least in theory, face death penalty under the federal law (which did happen in Michigan). The claim that federal death penalty is not being used is not true, either - see Timothy McVeigh, executed in 2001. (Added by another user: The data for the Caucasus region is incorrect and waiting to be changed, as the map indicates that Armenia retains the death penalty in some form, whereas the table says the opposite.) - Mike Rosoft 18:46, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- I have confirmed that Armenia has been marked incorrectly in all the versions. - Mike Rosoft 19:20, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Information on the Philippines is also outdated in Image:Death Penalty World Map2.png, since death penalty has recently been re-abolished there. (Image:Death Penalty World Map.png and Image:Death Penalty World Map3.png are correct.) - Mike Rosoft 19:49, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- I believe that rather than fixing this image, it would be better to delete both Image:Death Penalty World Map2.png and Image:Death Penalty World Map3.png, go back to Image:Death Penalty World Map.png, and fix the error with Belarus (as well as possible others). - Mike Rosoft 18:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Kansas is marked incorrectly. Kansas has not used the death penalty for a long time, however, it is by no means abolished.LH 18:59, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- As for the supreme court case, it did not abolish the death penalty, it was only as to the application in that case and as to that law. Inmates were still on death row. Either way, that is moot with the recent supreme court case (Kansas v. Marsh) (June 26, 2006)LH 19:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- The same mistake has occurred as in the previous version: Libya, which is by no means abolitionist in practice, has been marked as such. The map needs a thorough check against Use of death penalty worldwide to make sure that no more errors have crept in. (Western Sahara has been changed from "abolitionist in practice" to "retentionist", and it does not appear in the list; are there any references to legal death penalty use [as opposed to extrajudicial executions committed by armed groups] there?) In addition, it is inconsistent to mark states which have abolished death penalty by the 1972 Supreme Court decision (or earlier by law, or - if there is such - had reinstated it after the verdict and then abolished it again) as abolitionist in practice, while marking states where death penalty has recently been abolished on the grounds of the state constitutions (often because of technicalities) as abolitionist for all crimes. I don't think that any state can be considered to be abolitionist for all crimes, and I am not sure that the AI classification is useful for them: even in the states where the death penalty doesn't exist the perpetrator could, at least in theory, face death penalty under the federal law (which did happen in Michigan). The claim that federal death penalty is not being used is not true, either - see Timothy McVeigh, executed in 2001. (Added by another user: The data for the Caucasus region is incorrect and waiting to be changed, as the map indicates that Armenia retains the death penalty in some form, whereas the table says the opposite.) - Mike Rosoft 18:46, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

- Ari Fleischer -- The article reads, "The indictment states that Libby told Fleischer (referred to as the White House press secretary in the indictment) that Plame worked for the CIA and that this fact was not well-known. Such information, shared with a press secretary who talks to reporters on a regular basis, seems destined for a reporter's ears, and these hints suggest that Fleischer may have been Novak's original source." (bold emphasis added to problem area) The problem here is that the writer assumes that because Fleisher is the PS, he will tell the press everything he knows; including matters of national security. That is incorrect and a major violation of ethics and responsibilities in his line of work. As Fleisher himself writes in his book, Taking Heat (2005, p.246), "The job of the White House Press Secretary isn't to say everything you know to be true, but everything you say had better be true." To suggest that he would be obligated to share sensitive information such as this is incorrect and ignorant. While I do not believe WikiPedia should remove the entire section to protect the accusations made of Fleischer in this case, I do think they should edit that statement to avoid misleading readers to believe that he had an obligation or a tendendeny to leak sensitive information.

- Nomad: This entry gives the impression that nomadism and pastoralism are the same thing. Pastoralism or animal husbandry is a subsistence method, and nomadism is not, although the term is sometimes used as shorthand for pastoralism. However, any society which does not remain sedentary for a significant length of time is considered nomadic. This includes most hunter-gatherers, but the entry makes no indication of this. Also there is no logical organization of the information that is presented. An expert's contribution would be best.--LC | Talk 22:52, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Needs summarisation of long quotes of original sources, and a hard assessment of linked NN genealogy cruft such as James Brockman Esq b1626 and William Brockman Esq.

- Horse Article is long, disorganized and unwieldy. Also contains material already created in related subtopics. Repeats itself in several places, sometimes contradicts itself--probably in part due to length. Needs serious reorganization. Too much for one person to work on alone, especially someone as new as myself, needs people with good Wikipedia editing skills to create some new articles, merge sections of this article with existing ones, maybe expand the disambiguation page. Or make suggestions on the Talk:Horse page. This page also has been having some minor problems with vandalism. Montanabw 18:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

- Royal Guards (Thailand) - This article is a total mess and barely in english

- Lalitaditya Muktapida - This article needs just some general editing (i.e. correction of spelling/grammatical errors) and also perhaps more research (Only one page out of one history book is cited).
- Montreal hot dog- This stub is hard to look at, its so damn messy.--GorillazFan Adam 03:49, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- Cult film - the article used to be pretty good. Now, it's a total mess! (Ibaranoff24 19:06, 10 June 2006 (UTC)) - It should be better now. Someone should, however, have a second look at it (17:22, 24 June 2006 (UTC))
- Mundelein - "Also in 2005/2006 Mundelein has began to flourish. Many corporations have made their way into this suburb, such as Staples, TJ Max (and more), the amazing SUPER Target, White Castle, Pay Less Shoes, Pier 1 Imports, Fine Liquors, Jimmy Johns, Little Ceasars, Pet Supplies Plus, Home Depot, and Applebee's (which unfortunately had poor service upon its grand opening). It is apparent that Mundelein is booming and should no longer be considered a "bedroom" community." This paragraph seems somewhat biased, especially the comment on Applebee's service.

- Objectivity (philosophy) is confused, uncited, poorly written, and poorly formatted. It is a rewrite of the disambiguity page for objectivity. Much of the content is erroneous as well as irrelevant to the specific nature of the article title.

- Floricienta - I made a lot of changes, added a side bar etc but this article still needs a LOT of attention, preferably from someone who knows a bit about the content as well.
- Gus Fink - Perhaps a fairly notable artist (at least, makes a claim of notability), but the article is unwikified and contains a lot of unencyclopedic material. - Mike Rosoft 09:27, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- Marion College, Missouri - Notable as a former college, but like many former college articles, it's totally out of format. I've done a lot of these as of late and frankly would like a bit of a break. Sorry. :/ Beginning 23:00, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

- Rule 144 - Makes little sense. In dire need of general cleanup, perhaps an entire re-write. Political Mind 15:51, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- Drawball - Needs more editors to clean it up, and keep it clean. See Talk:Drawball. The article is one of the worst on Wikipedia, entirely full of unencyclopedic unsourced subtrivia. Every time an experienced editor removes something, it's replaced with more online webforum dick wagging over who has the biggest picture. - Hahnchen 03:48, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- The X-Files - Contains way too many lists, which comprise roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of the page. A substantial amount of information on the page is fan speculation rather than sourced references. The show was important in the history of television, but the Wikipedia page has become a collection of fan trivia. Much of the information can be integrated into the rest of the page (with some effort). The page also needs reorganization. Zepheus 05:27, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- Lyn Duff - Too many external links, unencyclopedic style, possibly copied from somewhere. - Mike Rosoft 08:52, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
