Welcome to the Wikipedia Cleanup project. This project is intended as a resource for Wikipedia Cleanup information and discussion. Cleanup issues that this project covers may include wikification, spelling, grammar, tone, and sourcing.
Lists of pages requiring cleanup are automatically generated from the {{cleanup}} banners placed on articles. See Category:All pages needing cleanup and Category:Cleanup by month. Older articles with issues that have not been dealt with in some time may be found at Wikipedia:BACKLOG.
All users are welcome to help in editing or fixing any page on these lists. Please remember to take the appropriate tag(s) off the page when you have completed cleaning an article. Please also document what you have done on the article's talk page for the reference of other editors.
Information on the cleanup process may be found at Wikipedia:Cleanup process. Other resources may be found at Wikipedia: Cleanup resources and Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup, for help on posting problems with wikipedia pages, or for you to use as a guide.
As of 08:32, 11 March 2008 (UTC), 31,794 articles were tagged for cleanup, or 1.40% of the English Wikipedia's 2,275,039 articles.

Volunteer to help Wikipedia:Cleanup
Due to the massive backlog of listings that have ballooned the Wikipedia:Cleanup lists to include thousands of articles, Wikipedia:Cleanup needs your help!
Feel free to add your name to the list of volunteers who are actively involved in this project! Adding your name will allow other editors to know that you are actively involved in this project as well as allow for better co-ordination between cleanup editors.
The Wikipedia Cleanup Legacy List
The manually maintained lists on this page (below) have to an extent been superseded by category lists that are automatically generated from the {{cleanup}} banners placed on articles. See Category:All pages needing cleanup and Category:Cleanup by month.
You may add cleanup requests here as well if you wish (though it is not necessary); see Wikipedia:Cleanup process for further information. Please only add articles to this list that are unlikely to be fixed without the help of Wikipedia cleanup volunteers. Editors are STRONGLY encouraged to try and perform clean-up themselves before posting articles to this list. Help in cleaning articles on this list is also greatly appreciated.
Please keep in mind that the lists here constitute only a small fraction of the Wikipedia articles tagged as needing cleanup, and they may not always be maintained as new articles are tagged or old articles are fixed. The list is still active through a number of editors who do still regularly try to attend to this list. Assistance and participation of other editors is welcome.
You may report confusing/messy articles below and explain why they need to be cleaned-up (grammar, spelling, formatting, order, copyright issues, confusion, etc.). Be sure to cross post your entry on the article's own discussion page for the references of other editors who may not visit this page. Please do not add articles below simply because they are POV or are lacking sources. Make sure to sign your additions with the following format: --~~~~.

- Secretariat (horse) Honors and Retirement is not written like an encyclopedia article and needs more citations.

- Rainbow Boys The Character Summary needs to be edited for grammar and style; it may be easier to entirely rewrite the section with new descriptions. --75.111.175.177 (talk) 23:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

- Benina International Airport - The section on the new airport sounds like an advert/news article. It needs to be cleaned. Jaw101ie (talk) 19:01, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- World War III (section) - The premise of the section Difficulty in determining a "World War" is relevant to the page, but the arguments are confused, and it drifts off the point. Deciding what is meant by "World War" is a pre-requisite to determining what (if any) events will be labelled as "World War III". Perhaps this section should just raise the question and refer to World War, which covers the ground more coherently. Swiveler (talk) 06:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Jesse Jackson, Jr. The article is a bit of a mess -- some mis-spelled items, many POV statements, etc. Pyronite (talk) 22:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

- Chain Reaction (film) - This article is not even fully completed. If someone who has seen the movie could clean it up. As it stands the article lacks sources or even a complete plot summary. --Black Rabite (talk) 10:13 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Forest_School,_Horsham - A complete mess. Poorly formatted. Has a broken infobox, needs rewrite and wikifying. --Lendorien (talk) 14:24, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Aureal Semiconductor - Article has a lot of messy external links. Needs copy editing + sourcing. Structure could use a cleanup. Tagged since 2006. Probably an easy fixer upper. --Lendorien (talk) 15:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

- Pancharatna Kritis - Needs to be rewritten in a more encyclopedic style, wikifying, copy editing, and a lot of work. Contains all of the lyrics of the piece. These need to be removed or moved to wikisource. POV issues as well. No sourcing and orphaned. Desperately in need of attention. I've started work on it, but help needed. --Lendorien (talk) 00:45, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Chinatown patterns in North America - Completely unsourced, smacks of OR. --Lendorien (talk) 23:58, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

- Buddhism needs, first of all, reorganizing into a coherent structure. User:Gimme_danger & I tried a while back, but people kept simply reverting & ignored repeated requests to suggest their own arrangement. I hope people can come in & knock their heads together. Once there's a proper structure I can start seriously trying to address the imbalance in the article. Peter jackson (talk) 16:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

(Will hopefully receive response from the organization that the text is indeed under GFDL, so please don't delete the article as a copyright violation, for now.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 17:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Wilkes University I need some major help to cleanup this article. It was progressing well until someone who might be from the university decided to rewrite most of it. It is disorganized and very non-WP:NPOV. If a small contingent of cleanup editors would go to work on it, along with me, it should not take very long. I have done some work on it, but as I am connected to the university in a student capacity, I may not be able to stay neutral on all topics, as is inherent to human nature. Thank you for your speedy help. If you would please let me know on my talk page. Plm209(talk • contribs) 13:51, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hasan Metin, the bulk of the info even when you specify English only are in Turkish so I can make no judge of notability or source. Travellingcari (talk) 15:39, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

- Simile : too big to be a stub but didn't contain enough information to be a valid encyclopedia article.
- Paul Tillich - maximally baffling heavy theology that may be OR. Needs stiff editing to make this accessible to the lay reader. 86.145.94.229 (talk) 04:47, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- Transcendental argument for the non-existence of God "Criticisms" section reads like a colloquial forum.
- Equivalence principle has a section "The equivalence principle and the nature of mass" that needs to be looked at by an expert. There are no citations, the English is poor, and it's lacking in any technical information needed to explain and justify the theory that it's talking about. I'd do it myself, but I've never heard of this theory before and so have no idea where to begin. Dbutler1986 (talk) 10:08, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- Someone who seemed a vandal blanked page of Battle of Al Mansurah then when was stopped he changed text and put a clean up banner. He also made changes on pages of Sirat al-Zahir Baibars and Al Mansurah. he never explained why he did that.Samsam22 (talk) 22:13, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

- Eyes Wide Open - Article reads like advertising for this particular project and has a biased tone overall. Practically all sourcing is to the subject's own webpage. --Lendorien (talk) 17:21, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Normal number - "Agafonov showed an early connection between finite-state machines and normal sequences: every subsequence selected from a normal sequence by a regular language is also normal. In other words, if one runs a finite-state machine on a normal sequence, where the finite-state machine outputs the digit it just read whenever it enters an accepting state, then the sequence it outputs will be normal." See the talk page for why I believe the statement is false as it stands; could somebody check the reference given ("Agafonov 1968") for what it actually says? - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:21, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Template:European Union Treaty Scenario is broken (at least in Mozilla Firefox); it places the images beyond the right edge of the screen (and as a result you have to scroll the article to the right to see them). - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

- Statistical survey - This page is written like class notes.
- Mary Anderson (stage actress) - A large part of this article is taken word for word from a single source. Although the source is cited, this section should be summarized instead, especially since it is not set off in quotes and is in first person. CClio333 04:33, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- The Second Sex - The verbosity of this article, particularly the section Content of The Second Sex, makes it very confusing. It appears to be an essay or thesis but is so under-referenced that one cannot tell where the information and commentary is coming from. As a general reader I lack the knowledge base to sort out opinion from quotation from original research.Trilobitealive (talk) 01:41, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Union College, Tellippalai, Tamil Eelam - It's very hard to make sense of this article. AecisBrievenbus 22:35, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

- Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance isn't that bad, but still could sound more professional. Marlith T/C 03:38, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- Royal Military College of Canada needs cleanup. It used to be a good one but like any University or school article, every student adds it own little piece. It is now hard to read and confusing (i.e. languages, traditions, alumni) and there are a lot of irrelevant chapters (i.e. diversity, collectibles, ethics). Please Help!
- Magnetosphere particle motion - Article has a discursive conversational physics textbook style, not an encyclopedia article style. It also lacks a proper time and place in order to intro to lead intot he article in a way a layman can understand. --Lendorien 19:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Daddy Yankee - Age needs to be determined, check the links. Editor Sabotage. Bravehart10000 04:53 a.m. GMT, November 29 2007
- Businesses and organizations in Second Life - The page seems to have become a target for Second Life-related organizations to promote themselves. I have declined to speedily delete the page, as I believe it is salvageable; but it needs a severe pruning. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 10:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

- Over a long period of time User:Sadi Carnot created bogus articles containing original research and many links to the editor's personal website and self-published work on pseudoscientific psychology theories. Starting with pages such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Human chemistry, the bogus editing is in the process of being fully discovered and removed from Wikipedia. "Sadi Carnot" also had a puppet account: User:Wavesmikey. Editors with expertise in psychology are needed to review edits made by "Sadi Carnot" to many psychology-related articles.
- Austin Creed needs more information, the picture needs help being properly licensed, article needs to be wikified. (I created the article, and included whatever information I knew about Austin Creed) Tyler Warren (talk/contribs) 23:41, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- Sean Avery - suffers from timeline prose that needs to be removed and reworked. Some tonal issues, sourcing. --Lendorien 03:03, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- Lehmer's conjecture - Unreferenced; not being versed enough in such advanced mathematical topics, I am unble to judge whether or not the article actually makes sense. - Mike Rosoft 16:03, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- 453d Electronic Warfare Squadron, Volleyball in Canada, Axial coding, Abracadabra, Kilrathi War, Michael Patterson (producer), Erich Rhoemer, Cinta Remaja, Valen tv: All have been tagged with cleanup tags for months now, with little or no progress made towards actually improving the articles.--69.118.235.97 12:23, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
- Sri Viswa Viznana Vidya Adhyatmika Peetham is an barely wikified, uncontextualized textdump. AecisBrievenbus 13:07, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Tennikoit - Unwikified, only reference is the Tennikoit Federation of India. Notability? - Mike Rosoft 16:27, 3 October 2007 (UTC
- Bio-mechanical model for brow ridge formation and Spatial model for brow ridge formation - articles read like summaries of some research papers; should probably be merged to Supraorbital ridge in some way. - Mike Rosoft 11:48, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

- Lotus 1-2-3 needs serious cleanup. The article is virtually unreferenced, and doesn't do justice to one of the first (if not the first) killer app of the PC world. We should really do better. ;-) /Blaxthos 18:02, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- SSE2 needs serious help. Tone is horrible. VideogamerAJ 07:04, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- Ybor City and History of Ybor City requires cleanup because of tone, etc.,
and I have suspicions that a large amount of material is plagiarised. I may be wrong, and I'm new to Wikipedia processes, being more of a lurker.. so I thought I would leave this up to the experts to decide what to do with it - I notice the Tampa article also possesses some of this tone. Deus Ex Machina 02:30, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Struck out my plagiarism comment, the writer of this material in the article appears to be an English teacher so it might just be his own quirky style of writing, but it doesn't really fit in with the tone of the encyclopedia. Deus Ex Machina 02:33, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- History of baseball in the United States - Section on Negro Leagues contains very few facts and doesn't read like an encyclopedia entry at all. Really the whole article needs a major overhaul, almost no references.--Youjane1 14:33, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- Nomad - Article needs attention to check accuracy and possibly expand to provide more accurate definition. Also needs sources. --Lendorien 14:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- Sukyo Mahikari - Religious article needs thorough cleanup to make encyclopedic. Needs wikification and copy editing for tone and pov issues. Significant sections unsourced. --Lendorien 14:31, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- Arguments for and against drug prohibition - reads like a debate, some arguments are very weak e.g. Needs to be gone over for NPOV. Also contains serious sourcing issues. The article uses three different methods of sourcing. Needs to be converted to footnote intext references for entirety of article. Sections may need to be merged or reorganized. A very messy article. --Lendorien 19:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- Assiti Shards series - This article has serious neutrality and OR issues. It needs to be deeply cut, perhaps even a deep revert. Completely lacks sources and has a fancruft tone. --Lendorien 19:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- Lean Construction Worded like an advertisement. Deals with a specific construction technique by a limited group of firms. Promotes its superiority. Uses extensive external linking directly to for-profit organizations. 4.230.162.237 02:51, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- Clinical_depression#Hypomania Urgent attention of an expert needed ! I (doctor) consider it factually wrong. Anxiety and panic are mostly not part of hypomania. Hypomania belongs to bipolar disorder not unipolar depression. And more and more. Chaotic written too.--jmak 08:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hidden Mickey, This is quite possibly the worst article I ever read. It is filled with trivia, unrefernced things,indeed, but almost half asmush as the other one errors and a informal style. Marlith T/C 16:42, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- Moisture absorber - Pooly written (informal style ...), unreferenced. - Mike Rosoft 10:54, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- Translation - Has some readability issues. Also seems to be the subject of an editing skirmish between people who are in the field. The result is an article that reads like a textbook and is not very accessible to the non-expert. Man It's So Loud In Here 16:55, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

- Bezant Confusing and internal contradictions.
- Irish Property Bubble - Terribly formatted and very poor writing and content.Referencing could be fixed up as well. Olockers 10:30, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
- Radu Duda, Prince of Hohenzollern-Veringen - Allegations of heavily POV and non-nuetrality. May need copy editing for tone and research to provide better balance. Subject of an edit war. Needs to be reviewed. Please see talk page for more details. --Lendorien 18:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Gelou - a bit more context needed. Sources lacking. --Lendorien 14:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Banasthali Vidyapith - Marked as an article which reads like an advertisement. It's based (with apparent permission) off the school's promotional brochure. Needs tone editing, wikification, cropping and possible expansion to include info usually found in university articles. --Lendorien 14:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Big Brother Australia series 3 - Needs tone checking and sourcing. --Lendorien 14:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Lalitaditya Muktapida - Article is not entirely thematically coherent at the moment. It needs to be reviewed by someone with a background in the subject to straighten things out. --Lendorien 14:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Alan Ladd - his filmography is completely unorganised. Reginmund 18:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Turned filmography into a list, titles still needs to wikified and the list needs to be pruned from non-notable entries as it is pretty long.--Sus scrofa 00:35, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- Ferry Corsten - this is a featured-article calibre dj, but his page seems like it was made either by n00bs or his label. discography is a complete disaster and it lacks focus and background. DJRaveN4x 01:04, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Last Words - The article needs to be put into proper sections and some general clean up may also be needed. --Credema 17:57, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- Book 3 (Inheritance trilogy) may need to be updated. I had heard that a release date had been released for the third book. I believe it was set for early March, 2008, unless I heard false information.
- Campus SuperStar is too long. Too many information thrown in on the article which are not required. Please post discussion on talk page before any major cleanup is done.Cocoma 22:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

- 2 Wheels of Enterprise needs a lot of work. It lacks wikilinking; the section titles do not conform to general practice; the sections are too brief. I don't have time to tackle it, but hopefully somebody can get it into shape. --Moonriddengirl 13:32, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq grammar, repeated sentences, sections read like it was written by some teenager unfamiliar with the language. As the general's place in Pakistani history is important, I would like someone with academic knowledge to review, since the article has changed since the last time I read it. Mac

- Abduction phenomenon is a godawful mess; see Talk:Abduction phenomenon#Numerous massive problems Eleland 04:27, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- Jealousy is based upon an inaccurate/limited definition of the word "jealousy." Does not cover any of the other meanings of the word beyond that in a romantic context. Includes poorly organized, non-encylopaedic content. Entire 3rd paragraph is such high-level summary that it reads like a elementary school project - was worse than useless, far below the quality I've come to expect from Wikipedia. Punctuation is poor -I'm sure I could go on, but overall, I felt this was a very disappointing article.
- Feminism and the Oedipus complex - Messy stylistically; the section on Deutsch reads like it was automatically translated or translated badly, & other sections are haphazard & unclear. All sections need more detail and a generally more thorough, professional treatment to be useful. PoetrixViridis 04:07, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Emmitt Smith - completely lacking in important career milestones (such as how the Cowboys acquired him), as well as lacking all but the most basic sense of a historic overview (one game is given its own section, the rest of his career is virtually ignored). --Badger Drink 19:43, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Uyghur people - Sloppily written, with poor grammar and illogical constructions; some sections are written in a juvenile tone; many unsupported statements; general pov Bacrito 15:36, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

- I had a try at going through bits of the grammar and giving some bits references but it really needs a total rewrite! Groovychick3291 20:18, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- Digital Entertainment Network - Article needs to be broken down, it is currently just a block o text. Grammar needs to be improved. Basically, the whole article needs improvement. --Credema 03:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

- Deathbowl '98 - Written so badly that it's nearly incoherent; completely unreferenced
- List of colleges and universities in South Carolina - Alot of wrong information. some public colleges listed as private. Needs cleanup
- Haifa - English could be improved, transportation section is too detailed - maybe deserves its own article, academic institution could be better ... etc. --Lendorien 21:10, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- Amedeo Guillet needs cleanup by someone familiar with Italian military history. Some text editing, organization and sources needed. --Lendorien 21:10, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- Perpetua: An article about an early Christian martyr that mostly just needs some improvements in readability. Sources also needed. --Lendorien 21:10, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- Pallava: Organization is poor. English is muddled. There seems to be some original research mixed in there, although that might just be an artifact of poor composition. Probably needs a solid fact-check. Justin Bacon 15:57, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
- Promotional model NeedsSome text editing, wikifying + sources. --Lendorien 21:10, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

- Center for Talented Youth - This is terribly written, it is full of typos and has more fandom than information. It seems like someone wrote the article who did not know how to write, because of that there are no links and bad HTML. Marlith 03:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

- Nursing Informatics - needs copy editing, sources and probably expert attention. --Lendorien 13:26, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- Kshatriya - needs extensive editing for grammar, to remove redundancy, and generally to make it encyclopedic. -- Whateley23 20:58, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Cave diving - Needs to be completely re-organised. Too much of some info, others are lacking. Lacks proper headings. History section is particularly scrappy (ricjl)
11-20 July, 2007
- Tejano music - Needs repair of many links, and several paragraphs are opinionated talk-page like material. --Whoistheroach 14:40, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
- Talking to Dragons - Abnormally massive paragraph with potentially useless information.
- Steven Pienaar - Has been playground for vandals. Somebody with knowledge of subject may be needed to verify current version, which needs work even if completely accurate. Moonriddengirl 13:15, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- phantom voltage - Good introduction to this particular term, and is written adequately; however, formatting, citations, and organization need work to be more wiki-ish. Lots of possibly wikify-able terms, aren't. 65.112.197.16 21:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

- Deleted a LOT of material from this page following the Wikipedia Video Game Article guideline. Also spent some time rewriting several portions of the article correcting grammar, spelling, and poor writing. Some portions I have decided to leave alone for the time being, especially the Controversy section... I think it could be left, but rewritten to be neutral, as the controversy is an integral part of the game... lneely42 06:18, 14 July 2007 (CST)
- Sardar Amir Azam - De-PoV& wikify. Half of article is unsourced. --Lendorien 18:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- John Tunnard - apart from needing wikifying, extremely subjective account that looks like original research. Needs sources and rewrite to cull out tone issues that make it read like a college textbook discussion. --Lendorien 18:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Stingless bee - Needs sources. --Lendorien 18:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hip hop & Hip hop music - Both appear to replicate the content of each other. Hip hop music has two styles of referencing, includes a list of sources, and a limited number of Harvard refs. The article is full of opinion, not neutral and very long. Confused re-directs/merger requests. Escaper2007 11:18, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- Vasileios Spanoulis - The formatting of this article is very sloppy and the layout makes for a very confusing read, but it has potential given the amount of quality information about this international NBA player compared to many others. MichaelProcton 04:46, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hanover Shoe Farms has a cleanup tag on it but I cannot find the reason why on this page. I made recent edits to it to clean it up but I'm not sure if I fixed the problem. COuld somebody give me a hand? I'm new to wikipedia. Barn Cat 18:36, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

- I will definitely try to help, but most of the help I can offer is to clean up the language. It currently sounds very stilted. Sean Montgomery 14:23, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- Mitotic inhibitor - Recently I have created and expanded the stub 'mitotic inhibitor'. This article is of great importance to cancer treatment and research, but I am very inexperienced in writing for wikipedia and therefore I believe the article needs extensive rewrite, seeing as it does not meet the quality of other wikipedia pages I have seen. I would be grateful if soeone were to help me format the page and expound upon the subject. Dancanm 14:46, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- Kentucky-Louisville rivalry - Alot of grammatical errors, along with poor layout and spelling. Kycowboyntv 23:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- Quarantine - Based on the 1911 Britanica article, this article is out of date, poorly written (with too much emphasis on the 19th century) and needs sourcing. --Lendorien 15:57, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
1-10 July, 2007
- Strawberry Shortcake-Majority of the article is unsourced and probably contains original research and whatever sources are there are questionable. Storm05 16:12, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Nihonjinron - An article that looks like it's in the middle of major editing but hasn't been edited in almost a month. It has a section named 'Comment to be repositioned' and other stuff that should've been done on the talk page. Haridan 07:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Pseudo.com - Notable internet pioneer firm, however page lacks a lead, a lot of the information is in non-encyclopedic form, and the bulk of the people mentioned are red-links. --Cerejota 03:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keith Olbermann - Poorly organized, headings not parallel. Hobo-nc 03:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Morchella - Fairly well written, but omits several very important facts: one being that eating the true morel raw will cause serious gastrointestinal distress and the other being that it must not be confused with the toxic False morel. juusan 03:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Energizer Bunny - Needs sources. Some prosification. --Lendorien 14:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Non-synchronous transmissions - Article needs serious improvements. It repeats information, it has no illustrations to explain the text, and it is written in an unencyclopedic manner. It also promotes the American Trucker Association, & Professional Truck Driver's Association school at the Houston Community College N.E. campus in northeast Houston, TX (USA)! Why? — CZmarlin 02:26, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- Ranger's Apprentice (series) - A large amount of spelling and grammatical errors. Way to many for me to fix on my own. The content at parts can also sound very unprofessional
- Bob Clampett - very subjective text in the lower sections - e.g. he wrote some of the 'most outrageuous and funniest cartoons'.
- Focus III - this reads like a review, and is incredibly positively biased.
- Edith Pringle: Aussie pol activist. Needs sourcing. --Lendorien 16:48, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- Mii (Jungle de Ikou!) - This article is about a cartoon featuring a ten year old girl with large breasts. The writers of this article do not deserve good faith; the depraved tone is hideously unencyclopedic. A gx7 02:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- Chuck E. Cheese's - a fairly notable chain, that happens to be watchlisted by nearly no one, and also frequented by new and anonymous users. Problem is, Chuck E. Cheese's is a kid's restaurant, and the quality of the article looks like it's greatest fans are the contributors. Please, this is a notable subject, and the article stinks. The Evil Spartan 19:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- Fay B. Kaigler Children's Book Festival - Seems to me someone just typed it straight from a book or typed it. Considered deletion tag, but I think it's salvageable. Wikified a bit of it and added categories, but it's massive. Hourick 22:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- Akatsuki (Naruto) - A former GA article that was demoted due to too much in-universe material and a large amount of trivia. User:Artist Formerly Known As Whocares 19:40 (Eastern Standard Time), 3 July 2007 (UTC)

- Video CD - Large sections contain grammar errors as if parts were machine-translated into English. 67.66.92.222 19:03, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Lawrence Dimick - This article is clumsily written, with halting grammar. The headings make it unclear whether the section "fictional biography" is missing entirely (other than the heading itself) or made up of subsections that merely relate the plot of Reservoir Dogs. The entire article is written with overly basic sentences; this may seem like an odd complaint, but read the article and you'll see what I mean. Minaker 06:38, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Louis Briffa - Unwikified, possibly copied from somewhere. - Mike Rosoft 10:07, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

- Des'ree - Reads like a press release--Paul75 00:05, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Civil War (comic book) - The Synopsis section needs cleaning up. It's really long and wordy and disorganized and is just a retelling of it all, and is not encyclopedic. It also needs extensive copyediting. --zandperl 16:47, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- List of Greek companies - loaded with lots of non-notables that need pruning out. Astrovega 00:49, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- Allan Snyder - reads like an award citation and needs citations. Bakashi10 06:57, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

- Gene gun - At the very least, the second paragraph of the "Design" section needs a cleanup, possibly a rewrite. --Iknowyourider 20:52, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- TV3 (Catalonia) This entry has been turned into a perfect clone of the TV3 corporate web site. It seems that Wikipedia has chosen to neuter well-documented public criticism concerning the public debates on TV3 (some of it from highly-placed individuals in Catalonia's Parliamentary Control Commission). Furthermore, the entry has been protected from any further editing except by "Andromeda" (the TV corporation's self-appointed publicist).
- Violence Against Women Act - I agree with recent posts in talk section that the article need a major revision with an eye toward NPOV. It seems odd to me that the article seems to be almost entirely a criticism of this law. REL1870 21:24, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

- Makam Habib Noh - Article reads like a hagiography. AecisBrievenbus 14:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

- Jarboe - List of albums needs cleanup. Biographical info was cut as copy vio, but a user readded it claiming to be the artist in question's assistant. It IS copy vio fromt he artist's website. Someone with a bit more knowledge of policy needs to take care of this. --Lendorien 16:59, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

- Antitrust - "History of antitrust in the United States" section reads as biased, selective, and overly authorial. Needs editing, citations, and general clean-up. This is a major article.--72.43.165.29 20:09, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

- Jean-Hippolyte Flandrin - It was taken pretty much word for word from the Eleventh edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, which was published in 1911 (it has since entered the public domain). I understand this edition Encyclopædia is frequently used as a resource, but the style of writing is outdated and is not consistent with the rest of Wikipedia. Even though it appears there have been some changes in the past to make it sound more up-to-date, the content of the article still sounds rather archaic. The article might also need the attention of someone who knows a bit about the artist. --Neinfraulein 03:28, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- I updated the tone of the article, but I'm not much of an art buff. It's probably fine the way it is, but if someone's into art it could use his or her expertise. ryright 04:54, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
