- Please fix articles that have been listed for a while first. This helps reduce the lag time between the time an article is listed and the time it's fixed.
- Please indicate the reason for listing a page. Pages listed with no reason given may be arbitrarily removed because another person might not understand your intent.
- Please add {{attention}} to the top of the page.
- For each article you add to this list, please try to fix an article already on the list.

Anthropology, ethnology
- Inca Empire - written in a fairly casual style. --Eequor 21:53, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Pashtun - lots of information added and deleted by 63.166.37.229 -- needs more than simple reverting.
- did some work on June 28 Marlowe 21:05, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Ethnomethodology is rather confusing to someone who doesn't know anything about ethnology. --Khym Chanur 07:41, Mar 10, 2004 (UTC)
- Chysauster Ancient Village still needs expansion and possibly NPOV. -Sean Curtin 18:10, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Pattern language is apparently an architecture thing, but I can't tell from the article exactly what it is. See the article's talk page for more information/complaints. Someone needs to do a complete rewrite. - dcljr 04:32, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Architecture I would like some other opinions on the Architecture page, original author KRS seems to be a bit AWOL. Also, page seems to be inappropriately categorised on the main page under technology (I recommend society) but is under "arts" when I browse the separately, I don't understand why. Chwe 23:44, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Semi-detached -- needs some historical & sociological data, and also a picture. Anyone living in a semi-detached, please go ahead. Wikikiwi 22:14, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Integument has been moved to Wiktionary:Transwiki:Integument. Someone who understands interwiki links needs to delete it and replace it with whatever redirects are appropriate. Tannin 14:17, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Art, artists and art history
- indigo, violet, and purple - violet is not closer to blue than indigo, and these all use odd values. --Eequor 14:29, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Rollout photography - needs expansion of history before 1972, more attention & POV cleanup, from someone familiar with the subject. -FZ 18:13, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Amateur pornography -- Just not very well written. --Spikey 02:34, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
- looks better to me now Chwe 23:35, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Reads like a prison blotter, needs less repetition of words. Bastique 00:24, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Meditative art - needs grammar and format work, detailed information on separate artists should be moved to articles about the particular artist by someone who knows who is important. rhyax 06:12, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Anatomy
- Chest - matter is copied from an old encylopedia. There is so much that can be written. Jay 10:49, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Erogenous zone needs attention. (Sounds dirty!) Original author wrote front matter, concentrated on the female organs,, then forgot about the rest. --Long, Tall Texan 09:48, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
- Superficial anatomy used to contain content of an old encyclopedia (now on Talk:Superficial anatomy), now a stub that needs looking over from someone that knows more about biology/medicine. Rvollmert 09:32, 2004 Aug 20 (UTC)
- Genetically modified organism - huge NPOV problems, incoherent.--Eloquence* 21:36, Apr 19, 2004 (UTC)
- Seems better by now Sid 08:40, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
- Charles Darwin's views on religion, mess, originally just quotes. Dunc_Harris|☺ 21:17, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Recessive gene, which uses a lot of jargon that's probably correct but also needs to explain what it is/does in English. Elf | Talk 23:49, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I added a bunch of stuff, I hope it's better now :) Zarxos 01:46, Aug 21, 2004 (UTC)
- Mitochondrial DNA - needs a rewrite. At the moment it has very little to say about what Mitochondrial DNA is and how it differs from nuclear DNA. The new research showing it is _possible_ to inherit Mitochondrial DNA from the father is interesting, but should be more of a comment towards the end of the article. Maternal inheritance is still far more important. -- Solipsist 09:03, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Botany
- Monocotyledon states that the taxon should now be called Liliopsida. There is however a redirect by that name. Could someone do the biz for me (delete and rename) ?? Thanks, GerardM 19:53, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
- The class should be called Liliopsida. The group is called the monocotyledons, both as a common name and as a as a formal name for the clade. No rename should take place.
- Indeed the class should be called Liliopsida. However, this is the same as the class (!) Monocotyledons. The latter is te more common and widly known name. The official name however, is Liliopsida. This change of names is one of many in an attempt to create a more systematic nomenclature (St. Louis version of ICBN. Since Monocots is still widly used, I suggest to keep the name. Eef (A) 18:58, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Zoology
- Bos - I did my best to clean it up, but ITIS conflicts with the page and other parts of Ireland Information Guide and I am way out of my depth. Also check the redirects from the species names; do they point to the right thing(s)? grendel|khan 21:32, 2004 Aug 8 (UTC)
- Seahorse - could use some reformatting, what to do with this seahorse list for instance, my knowledge on seahorses is limited. --Solitude 15:03, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Bradypodion and Lepidophyma - list of red links. What is their common name? Doovinator 22:00, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Is there anything to say about white horses from a biological point of view? |l'KF'l| 11:15, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)
Other
- Afterimage - Do you have any pictures to put in?? Make sure you have read carefully.
- I've re-written the article to make it more clear. I'd like someone to check over the explanation of why afterimages occur, to see if the explanation makes better sense; I had a little trouble putting that into my own words. It's better than it was, though. Joyous 03:08, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)
- Structural alignment is vague; needs more info; should be more specifically named (perhaps Protein structural alignment --Stewart Adcock) +sj+ 09:52, 2004 Feb 22 (UTC)
- Involuntary control of respiration - unwikified and reads like its been cut directly from a medical text. --Pm67nz 09:25, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Passes the Google test for copyright infringement. Message sent to user regarding source, no reply expected. -Smack 00:02, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Categories
Communication
- Communication - Needs work as an article. Needs lots of work as a subject link from the main page. Zigger 16:48, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- reorganised Peter Ellis 03:31, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
- Callmanager - Apparently a Cisco systems software product, this article is extremely informal, probably written by a bored Cisco employee. Kevin Saff 20:54, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Telephone - Mess of "related articles" needs subdivision in some orderly manner. (Excellent article cluster; overall revision also needed -- article could be better divided into paragraphs and topics; move to PNA when "related articles" is cleaned up +sj+)
- Began the process of re-working this article. The actual content in the history section was mostly a massive quote from a circa 1900 project Gutenberg book (Heros of the Telegraph) -- the article needs an introduction which describes what a telephone IS, and some discussion of the various types... Then, we need LINKS to sub-pages for telephone(history) and telephone(signaling) and telephone(Switching). The basic link cluster at the bottom is EXCELLENT.... it's the stuff on the telephone ITSELF that sucks. Rick Boatright 16:19, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- information theory is leaking information. --Eequor 07:38, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Computer and information science
Algorithms
- Arithmetic coding - much <math>, little text. --Eequor 21:38, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Transform coding - not accessible to laypeople. --Eequor 21:27, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- LL parser -- Needs someone knowledgable to fill in the section on LL(k) Parsing - the information isn't generally available on the web. 7:49 24 April 2004 (GMT)
- Genetic algorithm and associated articles: crossover (genetic algorithm), recombination (genetic algorithm), mutation (genetic algorithm), chromosome (genetic algorithm), genome (genetic algorithm) Kwertii 16:23, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- As someone who writes GA's the articles look ok, perhaps a dumbed down introduction would be useful? --SteveCoast 21:44, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I've flushed out some of the links (crossover (genetic algorithm), and mutation (genetic algorithm)) but I think all of them could use a bit more content and definitely some copyediting. Rgarvage 10:10, Aug 22, 2004 (UTC)
Communications
- List of device bandwidths - All speeds have to be verified, some are wrong (conversion Bit/s to Byte/s seems strange) (moved from cleanup Onebyone 22:58, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)) +I added disclaimer of why some values look wrong by an order of magnitude, but the bit-to-byte conversion won't work. See Talk (Scott McNay 17:03, 2004 Feb 8 (UTC))
Companies
- Datakortet needs NPOV detail; a stub. (originally by an ex-employee)
- After reading this attempt at an article, I have no idea what this company does. --Smack 22:59, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Computer architecture
- Field Upgradeable Systems Environment and Reconfigurable computing - in layman's terms, please --Smack 21:52, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
- RAID - either wikification or explanation of techspeak needed --Kimiko 21:14, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
- Intro etc re-written in plain English. Would suggest that this might be adequate; the detailed stuff is mostly going to be of interest to people who understand the jargon. 08 May 2004.
- CPU electrical consumption - Needs updating. page has been neglected Crusadeonilliteracy 14:30, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- CPU locking - Needs updating. Crusadeonilliteracy 14:30, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Front side bus - Needs much general updating in lieu of advances such as the AMD64's memory system, and other expansion. Crusadeonilliteracy 14:30, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Computer science
- Colouring algorithm - Not understandable at all. Unexplained jargon, doesn't explain its context, ... -- S.K. 09:31, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Ternary logic - Essentially nothing but headers. Needs major attention. 17:59, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Tail recursion modulo cons - neither well written nor accessible. --Eequor 07:32, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (5.101) - well written, but unfortunately not in lay terms. --Eequor 05:46, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Computer numbering formats - very long article, lots un-wikified. Much info needs redistributed to constituent topics Binary numeral system, Integer (computer science), Floating point, ASCII, Binary coded decimal and Data type. Removed a request to merge with Integer (computer science). See Talk page. Zoney
- Have looked over and redone/added/removed. Big removal from the bottom, was better related to binary operations pages or suchlike. See Talk page for more porge 16:39, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Decorator pattern has unprofessional "story-telling" writing. --24.229.184.218 07:16, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I've improved the language, but this article really needs attention from an object-oriented programmer. It may be that the whole example (which is the substance of the article, at present) could be deleted in favor of a conceptual explanation. Triskaideka 17:40, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Computer graphics - Needs a rebuild. The focus is too narrow on 3d-rendering. It lacks important events in CG-history, and a good discussion on the increasingly broad application of CG. MrMambo 17:17, 28 March 2004 (UTC)
- Rewrite underway at Talk:Computer graphics/Temp.
- Design pattern (computer science) - Needs rewriting. A large article inspired by, or copied in part from, a 1995 book, w/ 50 links to substubs with names like "Interpreter pattern" and "Memento pattern". Some of the links from the master article, like anonymous subroutine objects pattern, may be copyvio, with the initial article note saying it's "stub from perl design pattern book". Tempshill 18:30, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I have tried to work on the main article. I still intend to revise it more and add more content to the different classifications. Khalid 21:00, Jul 24, 2004 (UTC)
- Gian Giacomo Medici - a stub on a brother of Pope Pius IV whose «early career connects itself with the romantic rise of his elder brother». How? Looks like they are not part of the Medicis. IMO it's better to expand than merge and redirect--Nabla 04:19, 2004 Aug 25 (UTC)
- Timeline of computing 1990-forward -- Update this timeline (it ends at Nov 2001) with 2002 and 2003 events in the field of computing. Other related timelines (Internet, etc.) need care too.
- Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church - it's not really NPOV in its historical presentation, clearly written by the church supporters/members. It rather downplays Ukraine's traditional Orthodox status and overemphasizes the differences with Russia. Ornil 22:43, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Internet
- OpenFacts Hello, press release. Meelar (talk) 14:10, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Yahoo! -- I just happened to stumble upon Yahoo! and found services like Yahoo! Groups and Yahoo! Messenger had very little information. Being so popular, they definitely deserve more. I created the Yahoo! Mail page, though only as a stub. More information about these services needs to be provided. Jam2k 21:25, 10 May 2004
People
- Vannevar Bush -- The link "associative trails" links to Hyperlink, which is wrong. According to Bush's paper "As we may think", a trail is a set of connected pages, i.e. a trail is indeed a graph whose vertices are pages and whose edges are links. Therefore a trail is by no means just a hyperlink, as the article suggests. I don't know what to do, of course it would be nice to set up a page explaining what a trail really is, but the easiest solution for the moment would be just to remove the linking to Hyperlink. 129.132.179.41 17:04, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Programming and other languages
- HTML tag - Needs clarif. What should this article be? A how-to for writing HTML, an overview of current and past HTML specs, what? - I moved a lot of content to HTML element
- Visual Basic - Needs rewriting. awful writing. I did what I could, but died of crap writing fatigue half way through. There's a pile of other pages linked from it on Microsoft techologies which need similar work. - David Gerard 11:27, Jan 14, 2004 (UTC)
- cleaned more; still far from perfect. - Cpm 17:45, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Visual Basic and Visual Basic.NET are rather similar - maybe we could share content between the two articles? After all, the latter is only a newer version, albeit with lots of new features Enochlau 13:53, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Not quite. The .NET business rather enlarges the contexts within which Visual Basic can be used. that's a major change, albeit not much at the language syntax level. This significance of this is likely to be hard to get across to those whose experience is at the syntax level and within a single machine / architecture. ww 20:00, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Found an error in the Evolution of VB section and fixed it. Wikified a little there too. --raylu 22:50, May 12, 2004 (UTC)
- I rewrote the Advantages/Disadvantages section and attempted to elimiate the negative point of view, but it now needs some peer review. Wuzzeb 20:43, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Software
- Arianne is unencyclopedic and written mainly from first person perspective; apparently the article was written by Arianne's developers. Needs a lot of work. --Eequor 15:15, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- XyMTeX should be expanded. Particularly, the new TeX markup it uses should be described in detail, possibly on XyMTeX markup.
External links to a site written in English would be helpful as well (the XyMTeX homepage (http://imt.chem.kit.ac.jp/fujita/fujitas3/xymtex/xym300/xymup3.html) is entirely in Japanese). --Eequor 17:42, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Similarly with PPCHTeX and PPCHTeX markup. --Eequor 16:08, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Toolchain reads as if it was written by a non-native speaker of English. It's also focussed on Linux from Scratch, rather than talking generally about the meaning of "toolchain" in relation to computers. It could use some TLC from someone with experience in the area. --pne 10:36, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I rewrote it so that it covers the general meaning in computer programming. Gdr 20:01, 2004 Jul 3 (UTC)
- Winsock - way out of date, contents c+p from FOLDOC, all external links dead --Kwi 23:34, Mar 24, 2004 (UTC)
Terminology
- Syslinux Isolinux redirects to Syslinux, syslinux talks about isolinux and syslinux but it is not clear whether these are two names for the same thing or are related OS's. See discussion page - I am not the only person confused by this -- Chris Q 07:27, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Countries
- List of Croatians: Many linked pages about people and locations need almost continuous copyediting due to a productive but not particularly standards-abiding anonymous user from various 6x.y.z.w addresses (see some samples here). Also check for duplicated entries with slightly different spelling or word order in the title that should be redirects.
- Culture of Uruguay - a proper article needs to be written Deus Ex 15:04, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
- List of ZIP codes in the United States -- Please try as hard as you can to make the range list as close to being complete as you can. 66.32.69.217 20:10, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- East Germany: Culture of East Germany needs a major rewrite by someone who can understand it in the first place, or is more familiar with the subject. heidimo 03:27, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Currency
- Mint (coin) - Mostly about the US. Onebyone 16:45, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- U.S. two dollar banknote -- Please look at the links and compare these pages to the page for the $2 bill.
- Large-sized note Are there any differences between those notes and today's small-sized notes missing from this page?? Try adding an extra column to the table in this article for the designs on the back; use http://www.currencygallery.org as a reference tool. 66.32.129.167 14:06, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Series (U.S. currency) Please triple check everything in this article to make sure everything in this is correct, as well as thinking of Ireland Information Guide articles besides the dis-ambiguation page Series to have links here. 66.245.89.64 21:50, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Large denomination bills in U.S. currency -- The picture of the $10,000 bill doesn't appear to look like an ornamental design of 10,000, contrary to the information below about the large bills. 66.32.149.224 23:51, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
- Franklin half dollar Any picture of the coin?? Any Ireland Information Guide articles that can link to this article?? 66.245.121.84 17:17, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I filled out the Franklin half article a bit, adding a coin specs table, and linked it from United_States_half_dollar_coin. It could still use a photo. Kmccarty 13:36, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Canada dollar - At this moment, the Canada $20 bill now has its own article with a link added to it. When articles for other Canada currency denominations get their own articles, can you put links to them in here as well?? 66.245.12.82 23:02, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- U.S. ten dollar bill - Can anyone add any detailed information relating the stories involving the Ronald Reagan $10 bill that was rumored by various Internet sites in 2001?? 66.245.22.202 01:00, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- U.S. five dollar bill - An image for an old $5 bill is now mentioned at United States dollar, and I want to know if it can go at U.S. five dollar bill as well. Any objections?? 66.245.86.226 14:35, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Disambiguation
- TI Can anyone focus on what to do with this dis-ambiguation page at Talk:TI?? 66.245.120.217 23:55, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Function -- This page is okay, but for pages that link here, please dis-ambiguate the link, making sure that no one goes here thinking it is a re-direct. 66.32.121.159 16:31, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Economics, business(es), business leaders, sales
- Anthropological theories of value - improving; needs broader economic NPOV.
- Business ethics - recently rewritten a bit; needs someone who knows what they are talking about to separate out overlapping topics. +sj+
- Unified Knowledge Management - orphaned article, stubby, could be good info if handled by someone with knowledge. Otherwise, maybe should be VfD. Ocon 03:40, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Standard Oil: Basically, the bottom part looks like unsubstantiated anecdotes (and POV). However, I don't know the subject well enough to just scrap it. Averell 16:28, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
- Welfare reform. Newly rewritten article, abandoned shortly after birth, could use NPOV love. / Plus, only talks about US welfare reform, whereas welfare reform is a political topic in many countries. David.Monniaux 16:47, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Payola could use more work from somebody who knows more. heidimo 22:56, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Option (finance) needs some theoretical background and history. Kwertii 15:57, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Technical analysis has many specific techniques listed and linked, but most of these techniques don't have their own article. Kwertii 02:43, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Supply-side economics -- needs NPOV, see talk page. AaronSw 23:38, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Commercial Revolution - good dense info; needs fmt, clarif'n. +sj+ 20:03, 2004 Feb 22 (UTC)
- Cost of goods sold- needs context, fmt, like many accounting terms.
- Diebold Focused too much on current events criticisms of Diebold for the page title; should be separated into a page on the Co. and one on the 2000-2004 debates about their product robustness. More company info is needed.
- Direct marketing is an A to Z of some Direct marketing topics of personal relevance to the author. Telemarketing says it is a subset of Direct marketing so this needs a serious article.
- Global financial system - confusing and incomplete
- Group 28 project (now the Individual Visit project). - Needs a thorough copyedit.
- Job creation program: A questionable section on Switzerland was removed on August 9, 2003; article is now NPOV, but stubby; needs much more information from countries around the world.
- Third country added today - plenty more scope - Robin Patterson 22:12, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- List of subsistence techniques - looks like this could be a great list; incomplete. Can someone fix up the format, and create stubs for more of the linked concepts? (requires linking to existing pages under slightly different names) Knowledge of Marx not necc, but might help.
- Rocketdyne Santa Susana Field Laboratory Contamination. Once listed for deletion but kept. Needs NPOV, more. Angela 31 Jan. 2004 Angela
- Van Doorne's Automobiel Fabriek - rewriting needed. Many confusing sentences and grammar/spelling problems. Sport section worse than others. punishinglemur 22:14, 13 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Socialist economics: a terrific topic for someone who knows some economic theory and history. It is needed to complement Socialism, which is all politics and no economics. Adam 14:11, 17 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Uneconomic growth - needs NPOV; should focus on the (new) term and notion in its title, not on the policies of George W. Bush.
Education, learning, pedagogy
- Preschool education Previously listed on cleanup, but that doesn't seem necessary. Needs looking over by someone familiar with the subject, and possibly some extension. Rvollmert 16:24, 2004 Aug 21 (UTC)
- Lifelong education Was a stub that was cleaned up from an unformatted article previously listed on cleanup; it needs far more work from someone familiar with educational practices. Alcarillo 16:58, 8 May 2004 (UTC)
- Efficient learning method Another stub that was cleaned up; needs a lot of work. Alcarillo 16:58, 8 May 2004 (UTC)
- Homeschooling is nowhere near NPOV--it's written from a pro-homeschool perspective, and even the "opposition" section just attacks any critics. Meelar (talk) 13:40, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- It seems a lot more neutral to me now. Someone else give this a look and see if anything needs to be changed still. Buddhainabucket 11:05, Aug 19, 2004
- Public library Had some information about the origins of the public library from a now deleted page first public library merged in. I actively welcome editing and expansion of the merged section and also the whole article could do with some attention and possible restructuring I think. Oska 05:34, Jul 26, 2004 (UTC)
- Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi comes straight from the 1911 Britannica. What about pedagogy during the last 95 years? <KF> 02:42, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- List of American companies -- This article is a problem, see Talk:List of American companies for details. 66.245.2.68 02:25, 29 May 2004 (UTC)
- Intellectual property education Probably needs self promotion removed as does perhaps presumed autobio Shaheen Lakhan; Human memory process by same IP (noted at #February 4, 11th item), and those labelled "(Top)" at Information Guide.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=Slakhan Contribs (http://en.Ireland) of (surely) the same person are also not yet edited by others, and may (or not!) still deserve scrutiny
Environment, geology, earth sciences, weather
- Pseudomorph, paramorph, infiltration pseudomorph, incrustation pseudomorph - stubs without enough information to justify separate articles. --Eequor 01:23, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Biodiesel contains a lot of good information, but is disorganized and contradictory in parts. It is one of the most realistic ways of replacing fossil fuel use. Maybe the recipe for making it should be moved off into a separate article? - Taxman 23:51, Jun 28, 2004 (UTC)
- Geology is pretty skimpy. Should this be a major overview, or just a list of links to articles on specific topics? Splitting the work by sections might make it manageable. Opinions? See the talk page. Gwimpey 00:31, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
- Geological phenomenon is this article useful? Maybe List of geological phenomena? Maybe should be deleted? Gwimpey 00:29, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

- Food is mostly a list of lists. ~ Jake 23:58, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC).
- I have started work on improving the food entry. Any suggestions / comments / ideas welcomed at Talk:Food. Thanks David Thrale 23:18, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- American lager - previous version was extremely POV. Current version is loaded with weasel terms. There must be a middle ground here. - Hephæstos|§ 05:18, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- I've been working on it - I think I've helped, but I'm probably not done yet. Brian Rock 02:47, Mar 30, 2004 (UTC)
- Food quality starts off with "Food quality is the quality of food." and doesn't get any better. Should at the very least mention quality systems and good manufacturing practice David Thrale 23:06, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- I've done some work but there is still a lot that could be done here. Rjstott 09:25, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Apple Jacks -- Go to the external link at the bottom and use it as a reference tool for why the green jacks became X-shaped. 66.32.156.73 00:56, 16 May 2004 (UTC)
- World Food Program. I have improved this a lot. Can someone who knows about aid for trade, add something to this article or create an article on this linked to World Food Program? David Thrale 10:46, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Wine and related pages require some work. There seems to be a lot of duplication, as well as confusion about varietals and brands. Furthermore, the issues are muddied by the fact that the terminology in the US differs from that in the rest of the world. - Burschik, 09:23, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- The section of chocolate on "the economics behind chocolate definition" has some useful information, but seems to me to have a POV problem. Also it needs grammar corrections. --Dominus 19:17, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Soup- article of the week did a lot of work, but the History section is short and the Western and Non-Western sections have no text in them.--Alsocal 04:42, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Games, entertainment
- Final Fantasy - It is a very complete summary article, but the problem is, not every Final Fantasy has an article written for it. Going to, say, "Final Fantasy II" redirects to this page. We need to correct these redirects with actual full articles complete with pictures, etc. Lockeownzj00 2:54, 31 May 2004 (UTC)
- Not to mention that Final Fantasy 1 needs to be moved to Final Fantasy I, except that there's a redirect there. Darnit. grendel|khan 05:35, 2004 Jul 8 (UTC)

Geography
- Brussels - the part about Brussels' linguistic history regularly contains partisan matter, including an ongoing a revert war. --Edcolins 20:34, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC)
- All the articles created by Rambot. --Eequor 18:14, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- More evidence that Rambot is evil:
- Most of these have irrelevant statistics, including percentages less than 1% and mentions of 0%.
- All are poorly wikified (inconsistent, redundant, unintuitive), particularly with regard to ethnicity.
- All are under-wikified. Except for the lead section, links within the article are limited to the following:
- U.S. Census Bureau
- km²
- mi²
- census2
- 2000
- population density
- Race (U.S. census) or variants, repeated for every ethnicity
- Hispanic and Latino groups are poorly recognized by the U.S. Census, and the Rambot articles propagate this error.
- The section on marital status reflects antiquated notions of gender role.
- The articles seem to use "village" and "town" interchangeably. Every occurrence of each (and any other synonyms used) should be replaced with "city".
- Most of the statistics would be better presented by a table. Perhaps a link to the Census Bureau (http://www.census.gov/) would suffice?
- Flanders - regularly stuffed with partisan matter. There are other problems but I am not familiar enough with the topic (Flanders is both a region in Belgium and a region spanning three countries...). --Edcolins 20:27, Aug 4, 2004 (UTC)
- Bedford-Stuyvesant Apparently written by someone who knows the place, which is good, but also obviously written from that person's perspective. Not exactly POV, but more of a tourist come-on than an encyclopedia article. Lee M 18:42, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

- Geneseo, New York and Geneseo (village), New York need to be both merged and separated in various ways. (also added to DA) --♬ bdesham
- Haywards Heath near Brighton, England -- Undoubtedly written by people living in that area, the article lacks statistical data and some more. <KF> 14:38, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
- Long Island - An extraordinary incomplete list of towns of Long Island exists in this article. The entries for Nassau County, New York and Suffolk County, New York (both counties of Long Island) have reasonably complete lists - someone is needed for the job of taking the names of these towns from these two other articles and also adding them to the Long Island article. Moncrief 01:26, Mar 24, 2004 (UTC)
- River - data given for ten longest rivers frequently doesn't match the data given on the actual page for that river.
- Kaliningrad Oblast and Yasnaya Polyana - Nicely written, but some of the descriptions seem somewhat over the top: It was a scene of earlier massive Soviet Union military build-up and now the scene of total massive breakdown. These surrealistic visions stand in stark contrast to the vanished city of Königsberg, the city of Immanuel Kant and the city of kings. -- Someone who knows more about this history of Kaliningrad/Konigsberg, Russia, and East Prussia should have a look. --BCorr ¤ Брайен 22:54, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Latin names of regions - factual problems. Kingturtle 23:33, 19 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- List of Ontario rivers - The hierarchal view is in bad shape; the entire St. Lawrence system is in a non-hierarchal order (the Great Lakes do drain into each other!), and some major rivers seem to go missing when many minor ones are piled on. Radagast
- Kastamonu Province - Needs wikification, also a bit of NPOV'ing - not serious enough to merit a dispute or anything, but article appears to have been written by the hotels and tourism board. 209.149.235.254 22:50, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- NPOVed as much as I can, needs edit by SO who has lived/visited here. Auric The Rad 03:34, Jun 16, 2004 (UTC)

- Georgia - There is too much talk about whether Georgia should be the same page as Georgia (country) or Georgia (disambiguation). This should come to an agreement by the time 2005 starts. 66.32.69.62 23:31, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Minnesota and Pennsylvania - Okay, these pages are fine, but many of the articles for towns in these states are not. There are hundreds of articles of towns from these states that haven't been updated since the dawn of 2003. One good suggestion is to put MediaWiki boxes at the bottom for the states of Minnesota and Pennsylvania for all towns. 66.245.78.247 23:22, 28 May 2004 (UTC)

- James H.

- I've cleaned it up a bit, but it still needs a thorough lookover by someone who's an expert in this! Miss Puffskein 01:32, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)
- Homer Lea - great bio; needs fact-checking, NPOV, dates filled in
- List of Mughal emperors - needs help getting links and names standardized, formatting.
- Genghis Khan - the page needs info on Khan uniting the tribes before his conquest, and needs info on Khan's aborted conquest of Europe.
- Menander - aside from having 1911-ese (and a whole lot of screwed up Greek words), it also doesn't have anything recent about him (such as Girl Of Samos, and whatever else may have been discovered since 1911). Adam Bishop 20:37, 2 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- I cleaned up the Greek titles and added romanizations and translations of them, but rewriting and reorganization are still needed to bring the article up to date and make its contents easier to grasp quickly. A list of plays with extant fragments might be a good addition. Flauto Dolce 03:11, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Maltese Nobility needs some serious formatting by someone who is good at that (ie, not me :-) ). As it looks copypasted, it might also need copyright-checking, but note that the original contributor seems to be the owner of www.maltagenealogy.com.
- William III of the Netherlands - needs encyclopedic tone and some basic facts like year of inauguration. Rmhermen 19:44, Jan 4, 2004 (UTC)

- Lajos Kossuth - contains some worryingly opinionated statements ("With marvellous energy he kept in his own hands the direction of the whole government"). Needs fact-checking and neutralising. Onebyone 01:11, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Like it or not, the facts have been checked. The man * was* a charismatic leader - unkamunka. 16:34, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- I believe that, I'm just not sure I know enough about the subject to make the language better without introducing errors. I think the request for fact-checking was just something I passed on from the entry on cleanup - I now see that this article is in fact pretty close to the 1911 Britannica, so is probably accurate. That also explains the flowery prose... Onebyone
- Having done an initial NPOV some time ago, I am slowly going through and boiling down the prose; probably originally written by an Anglophone Hungarian shortly after Kossuth's death - unkamunka. 12:45, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)

- Seleucus is a type of disambiguation page for the Seleucid dynasty. However there is also a Seleucus of Seleucia, a Greek philosopher and astronomer who lived 150 B.C. onward. He is noted for championing Aristarchus's heliocentric theory and theorizing that the Moon was responsible for tides. (He was also a contemporary of Hipparchus.) But I'm unclear if he was a member of the listed Seleucid dynasty, or a different Seleucus. Could somebody clarify on the Seleucus page? - RJH 17:22, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- Although it's kind of encyclopedic, it's a big big long long paragraph with lots of information on the history only, but not on why the empire fell. Someone with knowledge on the subject has to look into it. --leandros 22:12, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- History of Africa - Shockingly Eurocentric! Could use a couple hours of time from someone familiar with basic African history, and much cutting back of duplicate European content. That any article on African history doesn't detail black African states like Ghana, Mali, Songhai, Kanem-Bornu, Kano, Ashanti, Oyo, Benin, Ife, Monomontapa, or the Swahili-speaking city-states in East Africa, just to name some of the most notable. --172, May 3, 2003
- Agreed, and phrases like "Spain had completely thrown off the Muslim yoke" aren't what you'd call exemplary NPOV either. The subject is far too big for the way that ths article tries to treat it.

Someone with knowledge on these Baltic people should flesh out their history, most especially at their first appearance in literature (such as Tacitus) and also their culture and a summary of the Old Prussian Language.

- 1950s has an overview section since its merging with 1950's - this is a good thing but it is completely U.S.-centric. Any historians care to expand its scope? --Lancevortex 13:46, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
- Wars of Independence - I'm not really a history person and it is clear that this title should cover a whole lot more area than this piece (which needs reworking/formatting anyway) does. There is a disambig page at War of Independence which makes a start - maybe this page should have a new title and become a redirect to the singular? Will try to work on it if nobody picks it up and runs with it though. --VampWillow 00:14, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Paris Commune - needs expansion and elaboration. --Tothebarricades.tk 00:45, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- (1) No mention of: the flight of tens of thousands of the bourgeoisie who fled Paris to escape the implementation of the Commune; the destruction of the Tuileries Palace, the City Hall, the Palace of Justice, (and almost the Notre Dame) by the supporters of the Paris Commune; the décret des otages - arrest of hostages and their executions, including the Archbishop of Paris (Monseigneur Georges Darboy) at the prison of La Roquette; the suppression of newspapers; the arbitrary arrests of many members of the Commune (Bergeret, Assy, Cluseret, Lullier, Rossel, &c.) by the Commune. (2) When was "war declared on Paris"? This was a suppression of an insurrection. (3) Overall this seems a bit of a white-wash of the Commune, but perhaps that's just my POV. RJH 19:23, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I heard that Herman Hesse and Heinrich Boll did, but even so they are known as novelists. If I'm right, it's a shame (3 of the above are Nobel prize winners, I think) .

- Net (mathematics) - I fixed some serious problems with this page, particularly the definition of subnet, but I don't know all the terminology (particularly regarding final/cofinal sets), don't know enough about nets in general, and am not skilled in Wiki, so probably got some technical stuff messed up. Dfeuer 15:01, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Super-exponentiation -- is this notation genuine? The source given is a mathforum link to where the notation is "invented" by a enthusiastic student. It seems like a dup of Knuth's up-arrow notation. Motor 19:48, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- No, Knuth's up-arrow notation is for all operations from super-exponentiation upwards, and super-exponentiation is just for that operation itself. 66.32.89.242 23:33, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

- I've tried piecemeal changes in this and related pages. The structure here needs more help, and more tweaking. There is some question as to whether the focus should be on information for diabetics or the science (as known) about diabetes, or both. I suggest both as diabetics should certainly understand more than a little about the science. More detailed stuff (how to test for blood glucose, diabetic menus/cooking, ...) should probably go elsewhere. ww 20:12, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Movies, television, radio
- Elf (movie) - I do not think any article here should end with 'and that's where all the fun begins' -Litefantastic 13:55, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- List of movies that were financial failures is neither primarily a list nor does it limit itself to money-losing movies. EX: Waterworld, believe it or not, turned a hefty profit for the studio that released it. As it stands, this article should probably be both renamed and edited to be more tightly focused in purpose. Davodd 07:47, Jun 28, 2004 (UTC)
- Santa Barbara (television) I know very little on the subject, and I've added all I can. It was very popular (and I mean very) with teenagers in the '80s, so hopefully some thirtysomething can add a bit more. I mean, I could make a stab at it, but it would only end up being something like "the supercouples on the show were Cruz and Eden and Julia and Mason" and that's not sufficient.

All of these are characters on Xena: Warrior Princess, however the articles were written by a vandal who seems to update based on the reality of her fanfiction universe instead of the television show.

- Contemporary Christian music Needs more artists added, and list needs to be alphabitised-Joiz 15:02, Apr 1, 2004 (CST)
- Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about contemporary Christain music, but I can alphabetize. ^_^ I put all the bands starting with "the" in the T section; I know this isn't exactly standard, but neither is alphabetizing by first name. So, hope helped at least a little. --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 06:03, Jul 15, 2004 (UTC)
- I have re-alphabetized it in a more standard fashion and have been adding artists. -- Holford 16:30, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- S Club 7 Candidate for expansion (ideas: tv series, discography links, external links, S Club 8, individual member bios)-MGM 14:56, Apr 18, 2004 (UTC)
- 2004 in music repeatedly Michaeled -- accuracy therefore questionable. Maximus Rex 23:48, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- List of arrangers - Stubby and poorly formatted. Moreover, arranger is a redirect to this page, which seems wrong. -mhr 06:01, 24 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Redirect fixed, page still needs work... perhaps delete and replace by a category? Andrewa 05:57, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Jobriath - needs NPOV attention, any aging glam rockers out that can help???? quercus robur 09:34, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Saxophone - i don't know where else to place this request. We really should have a Ireland Information Guide:Images needing attention page. My request involves the bottom-most image of the saxophone article. It really should be placed horizontally, rather than vertically. Kingturtle 02:06, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Did my changes fix it to your satisfaction? I guess the image was placed rotated since it was too wide; I put a smaller (properly oriented) version in the article, with a link to properly oriented large image. --Infrogmation 18:24, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Lynsey De Paul and Mike Moran - To borrow a phrase commongly used for humans:Something might come out of it, but only if we shape it into a good article being, hehehehe...in other words, theres potential there but someone needs to fix it. -- Antonio Suffered soul Martin
- Have spent what seems an age trying to work out how to deal with this. Lynsey De Paul and Mike Moran is unlikely to be entered as a search term (as is anything with an and in it I reckon) and the only link is from the eurovision song contest for that year with all other contenders not having pages. Lynsey already has a page though so will reorganise her page to reflect this and amend this page to be about Mike (as there is no page for him presently and he can justify a page) --VampWillow 13:44, 31 May 2004 (UTC)
- Lawrance Livermore, Lawrence Livermore, Green Day, Lookout! Records - First article is orphaned. First 2 articles seem to overlap (and are small). Needs attention from one who cares or knows ... Zigger 15:45, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- First is a spelling error, redirected to the second, to which I've added a bit more detail. Still needs more, as does the record label page. The Green Day page looks fine to me. - David Gerard 16:12, Feb 24, 2004 (UTC)
- What Is Soul - Not really sure what's going on here. Hasn't been touched in over a year --Spikey 23:33, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Dave Blood - I can barely find anything on the Web! You'd think a member of such well-documented band would be easier to find. The Billboard obit doesn't even give his age. --Charles A. L. 21:31, Mar 11, 2004 (UTC)
- Hardcore punk - according to the talk page, needs someone to sort out the genres, fix mistakes, make it less California-centric, clean up bias...
- Music of Missouri and Music of Kansas - time starts about the year 1980 in both of these articles. The tremendous influence of Kansas City, Missouri on jazz would be a welcome addition to the music of Missouri. The rock band Kansas (band) gets no mention in the Kansas article other than a disambiguation link. On my 'to-do' list, but I'm not a high-powered jazz expert. Brian Rock 01:41, Apr 30, 2004 (UTC)
