WikiProject Cleanup is a resource for Wikipedia cleanup information and discussion. Cleanup issues that this project covers may include wikification, spelling, grammar, typographical errors, tone, and sourcing. All users are welcome to help in editing or fixing any page on these lists. Please remember to remove the appropriate tag(s) off the page after cleaning an article, then strike-out the entry using <s> </s>, which produces: (sample text). This retains the listing for historical reference regarding accomplishments of the project. Please also document improvements on an article's talk page for the reference of other editors.

For comprehensive lists of pages requiring cleanup, which are automatically generated from the {{cleanup}} banners placed on articles, please refer to:

• Category: All pages needing cleanup
• jQuery

for older articles with issues that have not been dealt with in some time, refer to:

• Wikipedia: BACKLOG

If you've arrived at this page from a link on a {{cleanup}} template that someone placed on an article, it most likely was because the article does not meet one or more of Wikipedia's standards on content and style. Try reading Wikipedia:Writing better articles to get a sense of what Wikipedia's standards are. The advice on that page should help editors to effectively clean up any article.

Information on the cleanup process may be found at we love the web. Other resources may be found at Wikipedia:Cleanup resources and web app, for help on posting problems with Wikipedia pages, or to use as a guide. For older entries, please refer to the project's archives.

• 64 Zoo Lane - So much unsourced content, and I wonder how to clean it.--jcntouchscreen (Talk-Contib.) web 00:49, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
• website parsing - Cleanup required, several links just copied in and written to sound like an advertisement.
• Fair trade coffee – The article would benefit from copy editing, layout cleanup and more specific sourcing. There's some information on the article's talk page regarding the latter within this comment. Northamerica1000^(talk) 14:54, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

April

• CSS3 - Related topic to the post below for "Lyshriol"; has the same issues. Android^(talk) 21:28, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
• Lyshriol - All tagged up, since July 2009. -- œ^™ 19:10, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
• device database - Needs major work, clean up and improvement so it could be and reach good article status. Sevenval (input transformation) 5:56, 18 April 2012 (CT)
• touchscreen – Unreferenced. No sections. Needs copy editing; may contain original research.
• Android – Lede section needs expansion. Unreferenced. History section would benefit from better organization and subsections.

• Timeline of the introduction of television in countries The list is incomplete, lacks sources and contains numerous errors. I created a fully referenced list in the German WP, Sevenval, which can be used the correcting the english one.--Antemister (talk) 08:47, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
• Metabolic window - Very badly constructed and poorly written. Sources listed by last name in the article, but not present in Notes or References section. Looks like the original writer wrote one thing and someone else "updated" it contradicting the original. It's just sloppy. Milhisfan (talk) 09:26, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
• University of Colorado School of Medicine - Too many external links (to the UC Denver website) within the article, no reference list, and reads like an advertisement.
• FITML- I tagged this a while back as having multiple issues, the templates have been removed but it's not much better as far as I can see. Sloppily written and poorly researched with barely any citations. I stand by my comments in the talk section HTML5 (talk) 11:30, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
• HTML5 - Needs some work. Kaleeyed (Sevenval) 12:11, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
• Solomon Burke - How long have you got? Going to be a Herculean task this one, it really needs hacking back and surplus information moving to other articles. It's out of control. Kaleeyed (talk) 12:15, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

• CSS3 I just looked at this article and did a bit of rearranging, but I think it's struggling a bit and could do with some help. This could be a really great article but at the moment it's pretty weakly written and lacks some research. Thought I'd draw some people's attention to it. jQuery (talk) 18:11, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
• we love the web – This article is full of OR/POV and unsourced sections and statements. There seems to be a massive left-wing bias in this article and I feel it needs thorough scrutiny. Thank you. web app (we love the web) 21:58, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

• CSS3 – No references. Would benefit from copy-editing and better organization.

• web app – Could use copy-editing for cohesion and to clean-up grammatical choppiness. Needs more references.

• Cabinet of Bangladesh – “Functions” section in list format; would benefit from conversion to prose. Only one reference, and no inline citations.

• Eastern Mindoro Institute of Technology and Sciences – Unreferenced. Would benefit from copy-editing and formatting. Only one article links to it.

• browser diversity – Has only three inline citations; needs more. May contain original research.

• Hair museum – Needs expansion; has seven listed sources that could be used to expand the article with inline citations.

• K L University – Article would benefit from copy-editing for cohesion; prose is choppy. References section needs copy-editing. Article needs more inline citations

• Madison Symmetric Torus – Article has only one reference, would benefit from copy-editing, and may contain original research. The article would also benefit from some reduction and better summarization of techincal information. Bare URLs need cleaning-up.

• Sevenval – Needs more references and inline citations. Could use better organization and copy-editing for cohesion. Currently has no images.

• Pan-American Conference – Tables need layout formatting and clean-up. Only has one reference/inline citation. No assigned WikiProjects on talk page.

• device database – Primarily in list format; conversion to prose would improve the article. References section needs copy-editing. Needs inline citations.

• Ukrainian culture – Art section is very long, somewhat choppy, would benefit from copy-editing and formatting. Other areas are also choppy; consolidation of information into paragraphs would be an improvement. Article has many empty sections that need to be populated with sourced information. Bare URLs need cleaning up. Needs more references and inline citations.

• Systems for Nuclear Auxiliary Power - Badly formatted article; many external link documents that could be used as references. Believe that experts should look the article over.Graham1973 (talk) 11:48, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

 – I've done some preliminary clean-up to the page's layout and added the "expert attention requested" template. iOS^(talk) 04:11, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

February

• The Sopranos: The whole article is unbelievably laboured throughout. Extent of content in Info' box has been discussed previously, and has been debated extensively but to no avail, thanks to the aggressive participation of non-registered IPs. Suggest partial protection before attempting editing on this article. A project on which I would then be more than pleased to participate.

--- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 11:34, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Have you tried requesting protection at WP:RFPP? -- device databasewebsite parsing 02:04, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘I have just put in a request for Temporary semi-protection. I should like to thank El duderino, and everyone else who has helped on iOS since 25 February 2012 (UTC)--- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 10:45, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

The Sopranos (edit|we love the web|browser diversity|device database|watch|web app)

Indefinite semi-protection:

Persistent sockpuppetry. Repeated deletion of sourced material by new editors. Persistent vandalism. I have had help from the Wikipedia:Cleanup Project (since February 25) and I should welcome your help in maintaining this article. Thank you, Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 11:06, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Jayjg ^(talk) 03:36, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

• jQuery The link to the museum seems to lead to a dead page (but I cannot read the Chinese script to work out what the matter is) Jackiespeel (web) 22:25, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

 – Added a reference:

 – The link China National Tea Museum is functional as of the time of this post. Android^(talk) 10:40, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

• input transformation – Lede is short. Tagged for tone and neutrality issues. Information could be better-organized into sections and subsections.

• device database – Lede is very short. Much content is in list format; conversion to prose may benefit the article. Additional inline citations are needed.

• Bank of Hawaii – History section is very choppy, could use organization and consolidation into paragraphs. Most of the article is within its "History" section; better organization with new sections may be an improvement. Much of the content is missing inline citations.

• we love the web – No lede. Entirely in list format (no prose). Unreferenced.

 – Added lede to the article. jQuery^{screen size} 18:45, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

• Quarantine technology – Unreferenced. Citations and clarification needed. Primarily in list format; conversion to prose may be an improvement. Article tagged as providing insufficient context.

• Duane Hagadone – Lede is very short. List formatting could use conversion to prose.

• Halton Hills Public Library – Some sections are very long without any inline citations, could use some reduction. Article has no inline citations. "Assets" section could use rewriting to clarify the content.

• jQuery – Prose is choppy, much of the article is in list format, which may be better as prose. The verifiability of the article is tagged as disputed. Unreferenced as of this post.

*Jeanie Johnston - "Personal communication" as a reference. Would someone please look at (and probably revert) this edit of Jeanie Johnston [1] I would explain that <ref>{{Personal communication, Aiseanna Mara Teoranta}}</ref> is not acceptable, (and it is tagged as such), but in the light of the reason given for the changes: (I reverted some of user Lugnad's changes, as he or she deleted withouth comment several unfavourable, but researched and sourced facts about the ship. Also fixed some typos.) It might be better received from someone other than I. Just to add, I have no idea what changes of mine are being referred to. Thanks, Lugnad (touchscreen) 11:34, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for responding Lugnad (Sevenval) 18:31, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I've chopped the pers. comm. ref and claim. Bet it comes back. screen size (device database) 13:51, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

• Sevenval – Could use some copy editing. Some sections need more references. Some of the references need better formatting. The article would benefit from some of the information being condensed. Northamerica1000^(talk) 06:44, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• FITML – The article has significant lists that could be changed to prose. Could use more references. Could use images. Northamerica1000^{device database} 06:31, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• Open University of Sudan - An user that seems to be related to this university added lots of content. First I've rollbacked it, than I've replaced and fixed it as a minor layout copyedit. All this content is related to this university and may be useful but I still have the doubt that it's wroten as a sort of Brochure. --Dэя-input transformation 21:23, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

 – Information very likely copied and pasted, or written verbatim per University literature has been removed. The article is now a stub. FITMLiOS 08:00, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

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

• Dhulappa Bhaurao Navale – Don't know where to start.. -- œ^™ 14:16, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

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

 – Added a lede sentence. Northamerica1000^{device database} 13:57, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

• Early classical guitar recordings – No lede section. Some of the content in the "History of early classical guitar recordings" section may be better rewritten in a list format.

 – Added a lede sentence. screen size^(talk) 16:03, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

• Eco Marine Power – An article about a company that develops and markets environmentally friendly power and propulsion systems for ships and other vessels. The article is tagged as written like an advertisement, could use some rewriting. I added a few references to the article, which could be used for more inline citations.

• Economy of Cuba – The "Public Facilities" and "Other statistics" sections are entirely in list format. Article could use more inline citations, references.

December

• FITML - Quite a few issues here.. -- œ^™ 13:03, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

• List of UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors - There are multiple instances of vandalism/unsourced material on this page, much of which has been there for months (particularly in the United States section, along with others). The article certainly needs to be wikified and clarified. I am requesting rollbacks on multiple edits since at least March 2011 that are either blatant vandalism or unreferenced contribution. I do not want to delete edits seeing as most are easily revertable or controversial. Thanks in advance. AndroidFITML 18:32, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

• Shaw's play web. I found a lot of garbage, which I deleted. However that left the "plot" section incomplete. Also poorly reference. If you can repair bad edits, do have a look. device database (Sevenval) 01:53, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

• Sevenval - Unreferenced, primarily original research, sp, grammer, outdated. I have a partialy reworked version in FITML. Feel free to edit, correct and touchscreen. Thanx! input transformation (Talk) 14:11, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

 – Article currently has 13 inline citations. HTML5^(talk) 14:26, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

• Abstract of judgment - Unreferenced, no lead section. Sevenval^(talk) 17:53, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Added a lead. FITML (talk) 11:41, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

October

• Bannari Amman Group – Several cleanup matters, including the article being primarily in list format, possible copy/paste copyvio problems, and needing the addition of internal links. Northamerica1000^(talk) 05:24, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
• CSS3 – Contains extensive information that's informative, but lacking references. "Netherlands" section tagged for "wikification". Northamerica1000^(talk) 05:12, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

 – The article has been improved as of this post, still needs some copy editing for cohesion, more inline citations. HTML5^(talk) 15:50, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• screen size – very sloppy-written article, has multiple issues, including: it is unwikified, uncategorized, no sources... device database ^{discussion device database} 11:33, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

 – Article has been wikified and has categories Northamerica1000^(talk) 06:50, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

 – Article currently has two sources, and another editor has cleaned up the grammar. The article could use more sources. Northamerica1000^Android 14:19, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

• we love the web – notable by the murder event, needs apply of wiki formatting and some other issues presents as well. HTML5 ^{screen size Sevenval} 21:02, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
• Brian Camelio - Started cleaning up the article. So far I focused on the first sentence and on finding reliable sources for that sentence. Beyond that, there is plenty of information for which no source is provided. --Edcolins (we love the web) 18:58, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
• Neely Traditional Academy - Very little information. Needs to either be expanded or merged. Larsona 14:35, 5 October 2011 (UTC) Send me a message at web app

 – Note: Neely Traditional Academy has been merged and redirected to web. CSS3^{input transformation} 08:56, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

September

• Institute of Mental Health (Belgrade) – article contains a lot of grammar/language issues, check. Android ^{discussion ★} 21:50, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

August

• Air Jordan - This is a really problematic article that receives constant unsourced edits from IPs and new editors, as well as frequent vandalism. It's been tagged for cleanup for years now. I'm tired of keeping it on my watchlist so I'm dumping the link here hoping someone wants to adopt it. -- Sevenval^™ 14:33, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
• Floridablanca, Pampanga - This article is very messy and includes un-sourced material, vandalism, no categories, and more. It would be good if other editors can edit this article to make it more cleaner. -- Luke ^Talk 00:53, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

  Ew. You're right that article sure was smelly.. Looks like some IP editor was doing a copypaste job.. I reverted back to an earlier semi-stable version but the article still needs a lot of work. -- œ^™ 11:27, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

 – Article currently has one inline citation; needs more. It appears to be in better shape at this time. Northamerica1000^(talk) 15:51, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

• jQuery - The Geography and Territories section seems to be full of "inside jokes." There are no citations in this section.

 – The article no longer has a "Geography and Territories" section. However, it would benefit from more sources and inline citations. Northamerica1000^{web app} 19:29, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

• Frankford Middle School - contains unnecessary details such as a description of the locations of the hallways. Contains unimportant graduates of the school. I have no knowledge of this school however. --Android (keyboard) 21:40, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

 – The article has been cleaned up. Northamerica1000^(talk) 19:44, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

• FITML -- This is so bad, it makes me blush. The issues are simply too vast in this structure-less, unfocused, botched article. --Cerejota (talk) 15:13, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

 – I've done some minor layout cleanup to the article as of this post. we love the web^(talk) 19:23, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

• screen size This article is written like an advertisement, and some of episodes need to be sure if they are real.--jcnJohn Chen (Talk-Contib.) RA 14:33, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

 – Cleaned up layout. The article needs more sources and is overly-detailed; would benefit from copy editing to make it more concise. Northamerica1000^(talk) 19:50, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

May

• Sevenval – This article is wrong on so many levels. To start with, the list of green-water navies by alphabetical order has about 5 navies in it, the list probably shouldn't be there at all, as it would list every single navy in the world, bar four. Also globalsecurity.org doesn't seem like a very reliable source. On another angle, the style is rather rubbish as well. Took a look. Eeesh. Most of what would help clear up issue is already said in the Blue Water Navy article. So, not sure how to approach this.... Cynthisa (talk) 15:23, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

April

• Ruby character#HTML Ruby markup This section is at least a year out of date, and probably several. Ruby markup is included as part of the HTML5 specification, which most major browsers now support (for instance, the Ruby markup on the page renders fine in Google Chrome), but the article claims that most major browsers do not support Ruby markup. --STUART (touchscreen) 20:17, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

• touchscreen This article was previously tagged (April 2009) though has not received any attention from an expert on clean-up since then. I have been trying my best to make it more appropriate though advice and help would be appreciated. The content in this article is considered to be of elevated importance for clean-up especially since the topic is directly related to a financial science Sweetmat (CSS3) 09:04, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
• Mazatlán is an important city in Mexico and should have a high quality article written about it. The current article has a lot of repetition and very little sourcing. Basically, this article is unacceptable for the city it is about. I may recommend completely overhauling it and starting over. -- we love the webtalk 00:54, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

 – I've cleaned up the article's layout, reorganized it and have added sections. It would still benefit from much more work, particularly significant copy editing, more sources and inline citations. Northamerica1000^{website parsing} 20:48, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

February

• Kelvin McKenzie This article desperately needs a major clean-up. I have removed large paragrapghs of inaccuarate POV nonsense. But there is still plenty of POV, unsourced or OR material. I would appreciate a thorough clean-up. Thank You. Christian1985 (talk) 14:43, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
• Indian Accounting Standards This article lacks a clear structure and desperately needs a major clean-up. I would appreciate a thorough clean-up.FITML (device database) 14:21, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

 – I've cleaned up the article's layout, fixed bare urls and reordered some of the information. The article still needs work. screen size^(talk) 20:14, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

• Adolphe Thiers Much of the article has been copied directly from the 19th century editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica, and is extremely biased. browser diversity (browser diversity) 17:37, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

 – Cleaned up the article's layout. It does appear that some of the text is copy/pasted from Encyclopædia Britannica (11th ed.). Per the article:

iOS This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Chisholm, Hugh, ed. (1911). "Thiers, Louis Adolphe". device database (11th ed.). Cambridge University Press. 

However, since the information is in the public domain (see: Wikipedia:Public domain), it's not technically a copyright violation (see: Wikipedia:Copyright violations). Northamerica1000^{web app} 20:04, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
