Mentor Q&A

In November 2008, you marked this article for cleanup. I have re-written the content of the article to wikify it, added references, and fixed spelling and grammar. Please let me know after you have reviewed the article if you have any further suggested changes. Bobinit (talk) 07:37, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey good job on the article. It's a LOT better. You did a good job on it! A lot of these sorts of articles just sort of languish for years. The main suggestion I have is to use the Cite Web template for your website references as that is the accepted way to cite websites. If you need any help, let me know! --Lendorien (talk) 15:44, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I'm mostly a spot editor myself, so I appreciate people willing to invest the time needed to do the serious editing. Thanks! --Lendorien (talk) 01:39, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Probably should of clarified my request for a cleanup (Criticism of Internet Explorer/Internet Explorer)

I didn't notice until you pointed it out on my talk page, but the IE Criticism is in the article, however it is, in my opinion, poorly organized and so it is hard to locate on the page.Dullstar (talk) 08:28, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are also active in cleanup so I have a couple of questions. Why does it seem like most of the articles in cleanup are not tagged for cleanup in the article itself? When I cleanup, I always look for the tags in the article when I finish so that it would be auto removed from wp:cleanup. Is there a specific process that is supposed to be followed to insert something into cleanup, and also for the cleanup team after it is finished?

Thanks in advance for your feedback. Bobinit (talk) 06:59, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've done some of those table formatted pages. Ugh. Way to go for fixing it. In any case, the wikipedia cleanup page is a legacy page. For the most part, the cleanup tag catagories are what a lot of editors look for when cleaning up. Pages listed on Wiki:cleanup were identified via the old system (Which was people just manually listing them). Chances are a lot of them had cleanup tags at one time and had them removed. I tend to review articles when that happens and either re-add the appropriate tags, or remove the item from the list if it's in good shape. I personally put a note on the discussion page of the article with my observation on what needs to be fixed when I put up tags. It's a good practice because it justifies the tags and gives other editors a place to start. --Lendorien (talk) 14:36, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
