The cleanup page is a place where articles with problems (ungrammatical, poorly formatted, confused, etc.) can be listed. Any user can fix or list articles here.

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).

If you are here because you have found a page that needs attention, you are encouraged to be bold and edit the page yourself to fix the problem. If for some reason you don't have the expertise to fix the problems yourself, for example because you don't know enough about the relevant subject, you can request the attention of other editors as follows:

  1. Check "Resources for maintenance and collaboration" an inset text box on the right, to make sure there is not a more appropriate page on which to list the article.
  2. Add the most specific applicable tag to the article or its talk page (note that having a cleanup tag will be distracting for readers, so only add them to articles if there is a good reason). See Cleanup resources. For general problems, use {{cleanup-date|October 2005}}.
  3. Add your listing under today's date (UTC). Create a new section if yours is the first listing of the day.
  4. Explain what needs to be done in a brief but specific manner in the article's talk page. (Keep in mind not everyone who sees the cleanup tag on the article will see your central listing.)
  5. Sign your name, date and time by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ )
  6. Also remember that you can submit an article in need of cleanup to the Cleanup Taskforce (which is always looking for members).

For more detailed information about this page, see Wikipedia:Cleanup process.

Just to let everyone know, there are 9,433 articles tagged for cleanup as of 01:36, 13 October 2005 (UTC). This means that we are working on an astounding 1.2% of Wikipedia's articles!

  • Symposium (Plato dialogue) - Riddled with errors, incomplete summary. Needs someone with clasics bone fides to work on. PotatoKnight 02:35, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Podnography — Was tempted to AfD this puppy, but I thought I'd try here first. Seems like a non-notable, somewhat contrived neologism. — RJH 23:04, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Bollocks - a lot of the content seems to be a load of... violet/riga (t) 22:08, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Hostile omish - spelling and spacing problems, etc.
  • Marc Schirmeister - found randomly. I am listing the article here because I am not experienced enough to judge if it should be deleted; however, for now, everything but (maybe) the first paragraph is useless. Should I remove all the crap and make a stub out of it or ask for deletion ? Schutz 13:07, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Lew Zealand - May have been link spam; I removed the link to ceo4u.com but did not have time to deal with the broken external image link. --DavidConrad 06:59, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Aisake Ó hAilpín - Needs to be wikified. (The title may also need to be checked.) - Mike Rosoft 17:20, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • MOO - Cleanup after mass-merge. 172.188.21.72 19:36, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Mauler RÖV-20 - "is a very powerful gun indeed" is not what I call an encyclopedia article. - Mike Rosoft 20:30, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Anoš - Needs to be wikified, also too much informal. - Mike Rosoft 20:38, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

October 27, 2005

  • Opera (web browser) - Clear up redundancies, excessive links, and prepare for a future article split. --LBMixPro(Speak on it!) 19:54, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Seal_(musician) needs to be cleaned up for grammar, spelling, questionable POV and needs some fact checks. I 'll do it when I get the time but help yourself if you get there first. Done Feets 17:46, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

October 26, 2005

  • The Harry Potter fandom article needs to be cleaned up. Bad grammar, poor style, flirting with POV, etc.
  • The List of firearms really needs to be cleaned up.There are double names,unright names,missing names and absolutely no order.
  • Puer and Senex have virtually no information, and don't even really make sense. Herzliyya 04:10, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • 4um This article seems more like self-publicity than a factual article. In it’s current state it should probably be deleted… --Shastrix 16:05, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Rebel MC - A badly written article about a rapper, possible vanity. - Mike Rosoft 16:43, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Also turns out to be a copyvio. I guess it gets deleted one way or the other. Foofy 10:14, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Renaissance Classicism is confused and anachronistic in the discussion of visual art. The article needs to be broadened to encompass literary and philosophical forms. (Stamboultrain 19:17, 26 October 2005 (UTC))
  • Moscovskaya Storozhevaya Sobaka is confusing to read, and should be organized better. Relevant categorytags should also be added. Bjelleklang - talk 21:31, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Andre Nickatina A rapper who has at least 5 albums and was won some music award, and has a page on Allmusic.com [1] However, there seems to be a ton of disinformation, and next to no sources. -- Malo 04:38, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

October 25, 2005

  • Defenestration - this article is relying a lot on the "Free On-line Dictionary of Computing" which has almost nothing to do with defenestration. Moreover, this fails to look at important historic examples of defenestration, such as the defenestration during the Thirty Years' War in Bohemia.
  • Ardour - apart from the fact that a user looking for Ardour might reasonably expect to find an article about Passion, parts of this read like an advert, with use of personal pronouns.... "Even so, we believe that in time, Ardour's editing capabilities will become the new standard for DAWs. Within the edit window, you can adjust everything about your session and its timeline layout.... Edit automation data in their own tracks. Unlimited undo/redo should encourage you to try out your ideas without fear"....TheMadBaron 23:56, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
  • St. louis rappers - POV, grammar, inconsistent capitalization -Volfy 23:10, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Political divisions of Karafuto Prefecture - I've cleaned up some of the translation issues, but formatting needs to be fixed Nik42 03:56, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Eurostile - Reads like an advert. Alr 00:47, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Show control uses too much jargon ("interconnection of more than one ... subsystem into a system of systems."). Aecis 13:00, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Ethmoid sinus - Does not state what the article is about. (Possibly something related to anatomy?) Needs expansion to provide proper context, as well as general cleanup. - Mike Rosoft 13:06, 25 October 2005 (UTC) - Probably human anatomy, but that should be verified. Redirected to Ethmoid bone, which goes into more detail but maybe needs attention. Tearlach 03:13, 26 October 2005 (UTC) Bad redirect undone. - Nunh-huh 04:46, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Unitarian Democratic Coalition I have marked this page for cleanup because of the gap between the "Electoral scores achieved by CDU" header and the actual table marking the election results. My knowledge of wikicode isn't good enough to fix this. Can a lovely individual offer her or his assistence? It could also probably do with a bit of an expansion too, but I don't know enough about the coalition. aliceinlampyland 19:09, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

October 24, 2005

  • Virial theorem I came to this from supernova. No doubt it makes sense to mathematicians - but a one-sentence explanation of what it is used for/context placement etc might be useful to the rest of us. The few other mathematical-symbol-heavy entries I have come across would benefit from a similar improvement. (They may be technicalities, but can usually be given a brief clarification suitable for those not involved. "This is used in describing how one liquid flows through another", "... how the various components of a supernova travel as it explodes." etc.) - What they said, but i'm pretty sure neither sample language is headed the right direction. Good task for someone who's already been wanting to read up on thermodynamics.
The whole thing needs integrating with Virial coefficient and Virial expansion, as there'a lot of overlap. Not my cup of tea. Tearlach 03:16, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
Was a copyvio. Reverted to an older version. Fogster 22:09, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Herbert Breslin - looks like it is written by either the person themselves or a friend. Arniep 02:47, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Generational Compression - needs an expert in sociology to give it a thorough once-over. I read it, and still find myself unable to complete the sentence "Generational Compression is the theory that..."--GraemeMcRaetalk 04:49, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Christina Yu/Temp (edit there while GFDL verification gets done) (Hong-Kong/VietNam purse designer) Needs admiration for her balanced; notability evaluation or AfD; add substance; Dab magazine titles. (Also, has it been settled whether being born and raised in Hong Kong, emigrating, and becoming (say) a (notable) entrepreneur puts you in Category:Hong Kong entrepreneurs? See Talk:Christina Yu.)Jerzy•t
  • Toad Road - Information needs to be verified - possible hoax. - Mike Rosoft 22:01, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
Possibly a grain of truth as a location description - see here - but embellished. Tearlach 02:56, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Haute couture was panned in the Guardian by Alexandra Shulman, the editor of the British edition of Vogue, who gave it a score of 0/10 [2]. This article is in desperate need of expert attention. Haute couture needs your help! Please help fix its inadequacies, and polish it until it can become a featured article candidate. -- The Anome 23:06, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Identity (social science) - the "Sociology and Political Theory" section is especially vague and confusing. Note some overlap with Cultural identity. --The Famous Movie Director 04:49, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Person is a mess; note especially the "Personhood theory" section and "Possible criteria for personhood" which may contain original research. Clearly a valuable page though. --The Famous Movie Director 01:03, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Treaty of Neah Bay - Most of the current contents should be wikisourced--Confuzion 02:15, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • IIITMK - Doesn't clearly state what the listing is about, though it is presumably a school. Seems to be nothing more than a mission statement. --Ajkalan 03:14, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
    • It's been labeled a copyright violation. Though, the source given seems to be down. - Kilo-Lima 11:27, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Lavergne Law - needs to be better formatted, and it would help if someone knew of it more, or could speak French and translate the original document and convey the material better. Malo 06:56, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • The Vanguards -- It appears the text got garbled somehow when submitted, and the syntax/grammar is a bit odd. -- Heptite 16:17, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Dumca -- This needs a _lot_ of work. I was close to AfD'ing it, but it's possibly slightly notable if it was re-written to be NPOV and copyedited. chowells 17:38, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Resolute Minelayer (fiction): wikify & general checkout for WP:MOS compliance.Jerzy•t
  • Omayra Sanchez - Needs wikification and some cleanup. - Mike Rosoft 22:20, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

October 21, 2005

  • Hillhead High School - It wasn't me who tagged it; but it was apparently tagged since October 13. I checked the cleanup in this page (October 13th) and it wasn't there. So I am posting the cleanup here. General tidy-up. Personally, I think it is ok. The English is a bit simple though. -- Kilo-Lima 11:28, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Karjalanpaisti (Carelian stew) - Needs to be reviewed by a cooking expert and also expanded. --Thorri 12:33, 21 Oct 2005 (UTC)
  • Should this be transwikied to the wikibooks cookbook? Andreww 09:15, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Michigan State Highway 53 - Needs a general clean-up, or possibly nominated for deletion. I suspect that many of the Michigan State Highways are in a similar state. Bluap 11:47, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Youth-uprising suite (their creations are an IP's only edits):
  • Theodore Beza(Calvinist activist): NPoV, starting w/ descrip of his born-again experience.Jerzy•t
  • Hibiscus (entertainer) - The article, while containing some useful information, isn't very encyclopedic and could benefit from additional information about the subject. Crovax 20:15, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
  • UK Firefighter dispute 2002/2003 - This article is about a past event, but the tense is a mix of past, present and future. Sometimes even individual sentences aren't sure whether they have happened yet or not. Thryduulf 20:43, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

October 20, 2005

  • Cement - poorly formatted, article content lacks any structure, too little content Filipvr 11:10, 21 October 2005

  • Adolph Beck case - not written in a terribly encyclopaedic style SP-KP 18:48, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Tidied - but ideas on Categories would be useful. Tearlach 10:51, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Surely September's cleanup's should be hived off by now (to avoid making this file too fiddly to download).
  • Posterior Hau Lý Nam Đế I cleaned up the grammar somewhat, but the article still needs work. I can't figure out what is up with the title, since it seems to be about someone named Trieu Viet Vuong. --DavidConrad 04:56, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Context is now organised, but it still needs stylistic tidying. Tearlach 10:51, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

copyright violation tag added--Esprit15d 20:01, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Jardin de Tivoli, Paris - the subject is interesting (history of Paris) ; it needs to be developed by an 'expert' with relevant information. Jpm2112 13:07, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
  • <s>Radiosity - there is some bad grammar, particularly in the first section of the article. The second paragraph is poorly worded and doesn't explain radiosity as it aims to. 168.156.251.65 18:58, 20 October 2005 (UTC) --Snorbaard 02:57, 24 October 2005 (GMT+2)</s>
  • Chinatown patterns in North America - Section on gentrification needs major help, and there's only so much I can do as I don't fully understand the issue. - Sensor 22:22, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Opium Wars Article needs some work, can be more informative and better structure. Lacks a good intro as well.

    • Seems to have been fixed. Thanks. --Shark Fin 101 16:23, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Driving under the influence - more of a list of blood-alcohol content restrictions than an actual article. Alr 21:01, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Arguments for and against drug prohibition - reads like a debate, some arguments are very weak e.g. The charge of "immorality" is subjective, and can be defined differently according to different perspectives and beliefs, all of which may be valid. Thus, with such conflicting views, a law based on "morality" cannot be fairly applied to any population. Needs to be gone over for NPOV, and probably merged somewhere. Pakaran 04:44, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Julianne Malveaux: liberal economist & commentator; style, wikify, format titles, de-PoV.Jerzy•t
      • OK, I took a crack at this. A more experienced editor should take a second look FRS 01:55, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately I don't have enough time to clean-up it and I prefer to let others pick up my mistakes, one is less likely to pick up one's own mistakes! Wikification would also be nice. Cheers! --Chazz88 23:11, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Quarantine - Pre-ToC section is too long and a jumble of half-cited assertions, while the rest is typical 1911 EB: out of date, Anglo-centric, and with overlong paragraphs. This article may well become quite important over the next year or two, so current information would be great. -- Mpt 03:28, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Speedy g biographical article created by what seems to be a new user. Article contained an email address to reach the person at the end, which I deleted. Wikipedia's being sluggish for me today, not sure if it's my internet connection or the server, so editing is difficult. Rest of article could use some additional cleanup. --Seanorthwest 18:37, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
  • There are many radio stations contributed by an anon user that need to be cleaned up. Currently, he is contributing to radio stations in Chicago, and among his works include WSCR, WIND, WLEY, WKSC, WKQX, WCKG and others that I listed in cleanup from October 2005. He has also worked on other existing Chicago radio articles and has also made his presence felt with L.A., Philly, and NYC radio station articles (most of the NYC articles are cleaned up). Please be aware of his style as I assume that he'll probably work on other cities soon. ErikNY 15:31, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I cleaned up the Al Jarreau page significantly. (preceding unsigned comment by 70.32.228.120 (talk • contribs) {{{2|}}})

  • Laura Knight-Jadczyk: not sure what to make of this. Looks like a vanity page, but with 37,500 Google hits, may be sufficiently notable for cleanup. Tearlach 14:09, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
Hmm. Check out also Fulcanelli and Cassiopean. There seems to be a fairly focused attempt to add material by the above. Tearlach 17:04, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
There seems to be enough bone under the meat to make a real article about this. The person has written stuff, yes, and has gotten in the paper, but about 90% of the article is sheer vanity. Strip that away, and there might be something here. - Sensor 02:02, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Spiritual density: looks about 2.2 steps away from patent nonsense, but it also feels vaguely salvageable. Anville 12:11, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
Now listed on AfD by Tearlach. Anville 09:15, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Murphy's laws-all: This page is a nightmare cut-and-paste job. I do not like to list pages for deletion and somebody maybe able to salvage something useful here. But not me. Terwilliger 11:30, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Looks as if it might be an import from elsewhere - eg the lists from which the Random Plot Generator (based in part on the Evil Overlord lists) draws upon.
  • Perpetua: An article about an early Christian martyr that mostly just needs some improvements in readability. Deadsalmon 23:58, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Jacob Augustus Geissenhainer: I know the tag's 6 days old (that fault's mine), but that's not the point of this. This article has been added because it is a short mess, to be succint. I don't know where to start with the cleanup; if anyone knows anything about Geissenhainer, I urge them to attack this for me. JB Adder | Talk 02:31, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Kashmir: The English is poor, the organization is bad, many Wiki-links are not working... a poor article for an important topic. Uris 14:01, 8 October 2005 (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)
  • The good guys: The page mostly talks about a robbery. -- Snkcube 22:04, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Neither the redirect Strong verb nor the poor Strong (grammatical term) currently provide any information (in the old sense) and mostly point the reader toward Germanic verb, which is a mix of jargon, specialist linguistics, and poor disambiguation. I'm not sure how such confusing and uninformative articles snuck into Wikipedia. -Acjelen 03:05, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
Having read Strong (grammatical term) I can't see what you're talking about. Seems like a clearly written short article to me, and I found information I was unaware. BTW, your last sentence seems rather harsh, to me. There are thousands of articles far more confusing than these. Eaglizard 03:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
  • We Love Katamari soundtrack - Poorly written and needs to be reorganized. -- Snkcube 03:40, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
  • <s>The article Win is entirely about the accomplishment in baseball pitching, a rather narrow focus. -Acjelen 04:05, 6 October 2005 (UTC)</s>
Update: I've created Win (baseball), and Chick Bowen has developed Win into a disambiguation page. It remains now to disambiguate these baseball articles that currently point to Win. Tearlach 09:43, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Free World Dialup Poorly formated and maybe an advertisement
  • French people This article is fuzzy (to say the less) about ethnicity and nationailty. Ericd 09:28, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Neuro-linguistic Programming(Temp) - This page needs a cleanup in preparation for merging back into main article. 02:34, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
  • It Dies Today - Poorly maintained, outdated, and juvenile page about a very legitimate (Headlined 2nd stage with Ozzfest, 40,000 records sold of debut album) rock band. --CastAStone 01:39, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Veritas (political party) - recently content additions has been added in the wrong part of the article. --Neo 09:48, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Nightsisters - no context... could be fancruft for all I know. Giving this 30 days to see if anyone will clean it up and add context before I AfD it.--Isotope23 17:36, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

  • <s>Flag of Nazi Germany - Consists mostly of an excessively long and probably unnecessary quote from Mein Kampf. Alr 01:08, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
I have shortend the quote but left this on cleanup for now - any better? Andreww 08:57, 4 October 2005 (UTC)</s>
It's clean. Andreww 21:16, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Manon Lescaut - Serious neutral POV problems with this article. Wording seems to be entirely from the source quoted. will381796 00:38, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Cwen - The factual accuracy of this article seems dubious (confusing Ostrobothnia and Kainuu, if nothing else), the article uses the name "Cwen" throughout although it links to an existing article called "Kvenland" etc. I'll try to do what I can, but my knowledge on this subject is very limited. Aarnepolkusin 16:18, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
  • William Wilbanks: probably not an AfD but rather reflection neglect of his notability from hostile PoV; cop-ed.Jerzy•t
  • Hyundai FB: I can't even edit this article because of some major grammar problems. Also, for some odd reason, the article's author keeps trying to remove the cleanup tag. I don't understand why, but just keep that in mind. --ApolloBoy 22:57, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
  • <s>Edict of Nantes: Needs to be Wiki-fied, can't find the code to tag it as such. Still a bit new at massive editing. --(Why does it show my IP, shouldn't it just say, "Anonymous"?) 17:25, 3 October 2005</s>Clean, see the talk page. Andreww 21:13, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

  • <s>XAMPP - Basically a copy-paste from the products' homepage. Not quite sure if that's illegal (it might be GFDL), but it's just a lot of advertising. Husky 20:25, 2 October 2005 (UTC)</s> copyvio - now listed as such Andreww 08:48, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Fodor's - Notable publisher, but the article reads like an advertisement.Alr 20:06, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Rewrote bits of it, should be clean enough now. Foofy 10:11, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Edgy Lee - This needs copyediting and wikification. Michael Slone 04:46, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Gandhi Information Center - Copyvivo, apparently with permission (Talk:Gandhi Information Center, but it needed to be wikified. -Permission is not execution of the GFDL, so if as described above this would be Copyvio. As talk page shows, it is apparently not simply permission, but verified placement under GFDL, and thus apparently not copyvio. Jerzy•t All cleaned up (rewritten). Foofy 17:45, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
