• Celebrity Paranormal Project, this article needs to be edited for basic grammatical errors. As it stands now, it's not very professional.
• The BFG (film), porly formated article needs editing and maybe rewritng.

October 22, 2006

• Sun D'Or, the Israeli charter airline needs cleaning. The infobox needs a logo, and the main body text needs making sense of. Flymeoutofhere 10:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Jack Dawson needs some fixing. It's very long, contains several punctuation errors and is poorly formatted, especially towards the end. UnusualHero 07:28, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Somewhere along the line the A State of Trance page has turned into an atrociously written fanboy article. The Armin-worship needs to disappear and the grammar fixed throughout so that it actually reads like an encyclopedic entry. Penagate 06:13, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• List of experiments from Lilo & Stitch - at 82KB it's too big. Some of the descriptions could be trimmed and maybe the whole thing could be formatted better. There's also a ton of images on it - some of which aren't properly tagged and are really blurry. --Jtalledo (talk) 11:19, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

October 19, 2006

• Globalization appears to have been vandalized or perhaps just carelessly edited. I haven't combed through the entire article, but the section on Anti-Globalization specifically seems to have bits of sentences completely removed and no effort to fix the syntax of the remaining sentences made. Some of the sentences are unreadable and nonsensical. I don't know how to revert pages, or else I might have looked at older versions to see when this happened and recommended a reversion, but as it is now it seriously harms the information in the article.

Couldn't find a version to revert to without losing significant amounts of new content, but cleaned up by hand. Seraphimblade 01:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• Fabolous is a drivelling fan rant at the moment. Aecis ^{Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984.} 10:36, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• The School is a new Norvegian band. They just released their first indie rock album and have been featured in NME. They may become very popular soon, and I was surprised that their was no article about them in Wikipedia. Please review my article, as English is not my primary language. Also someone able to translate Norvegian to English would be of great value as the majority of the sources I found are Norvegian. -Cleaned, translation request still applies, I assume.
• Futures exchange is extremely confusing; I've taken macroeconomics (and garnered a 4.0, harrumph), always read the newspaper, and was totally confused about this article. It needs a good one-over by an economist.
• Medical technologist needs to be proof read and NPOV'd. The writing style is very non-encyclopedic. 68.238.2.60 01:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Some proof reading/npov work done. Reformatting and further editing still required. Kedlav 08:31, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

October 16, 2006

• Religion and politics I started this a while ago when the Christianity and politics page was created: it now needs some tidying up or possibly separate pages for particular religions. Jackiespeel 17:12, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
• New Mexico Rail Runner has been tagged. All the information here reads like it was taken from the Rail Runner website. Anyone with helpful information, please modify. Drumlineramos 05:39, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
• Herculaneum has been tagged, because the images often cover up the text, and I don't know how to fix it up. Anyone who knows how to fix it, please edit (and maybe show me how to do it) --Lord Pheasant 06:40, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
• Meadowlands Racetrack. Stakes Schedule section has to be properly formatted. Even so, not sure if just a list of stakes races should be used instead, as is the case in other horse racing racetrack articles. JRHorse 14:36, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

October 15, 2006

• Firedog was tagged for advert cleanup on October 4th. I've asked for a 3rd party to look it over on the talk page, but nobody has yet. There could be some advert language under the 'services' section, I would appreciate if someone could look it over. Staus 05:44, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I've nominated the article for speedy deletion. The entire article is flooded with adverts and pr talk. I have no problem with an article about this company, but the article as it stands is spam. 10:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Military slang needs a thorough overhaul -- it's very long, full of misspellings, the formatting is inconsistent, etc. Woden325 01:06, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

October 14, 2006

• St. Johnsbury Academy Contains personal references to staff and facilities. No or unclear elaboration in certain areas of article.

Requires rewritting Rajrajmarley 19:28, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

• Textual Combat - This article is a mess. It's just a timeline with no sourcing, and little explanation of the subject. The timeline is overkill and confusing. This article probably should be a small description of what the subject is with no timeline at all. Frankly, I wonder if it should be a candidate for deletion. --Lendorien 20:07, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

October 13, 2006

• Frank Gambale Too informal, reads like a press release and needs to cite sources. Possible NPOV issues. Justinmeister 21:18, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Il Duce Simply of very low quality 213.237.93.201 16:39, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

October 12, 2006

• Igarassu has been tagged for cleanup since November 17, 2005. It still needs a lot of work, so I'm bringing it up here, so that someone who knows the city may have a go at cleaning this up. ^{I'm too naive.} 19:46, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

October 11, 2006

• Dwarf runes: Dwarf runes are typically found in the country of Saudi Arabia and can be seen with a normal microscope under 100X magnitude. James.S 18:16, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Mountain Dew AMP: Besides having the wrong name for the product, the article uses the wrong style of sourcing, bad links to useless sites, and a writing style not fit to wikipedia standards. 65.30.23.234 20:29, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

October 10, 2006

• Inocente de Ti: looks like copyvio. Not encyclopedic. Very long plot synopsis, long list of credits and very badly formatted. Mona-Lynn 06:38, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

October 6, 2006

• Harry Baron(60-something Israeli sculptor): wikify; prosify; rescale photos; probable self promotion, so check notability; format reeks of being prepared for another medium, so do further copyvio checks.Jerzy•t
• José Rizal(Phillipine nationalist activist, writer, martyr): de-PoV, esp. de-hagiographify; condense or split; state early and clearly what his notability is, beyond the (non-verified (and AFAI could stand to read, inexplicable) worship of him by Ph. or Malay nationalists.Jerzy•t

October 4, 2006

• Mr. Do!: Do we really need all that info on how to play the game? -- Earle Martin [^t/_c] 19:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Cut back the gameplay section. I don't know about the game, but this should be better. Someone else should give it a look before we pull the tag. --Lendorien 20:35, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

• Buck Nelson: ("classic" '50s UFO "contactee)-swallows his implausible and utterly unverifiable story whole. PoV-ectomy needed.Jerzy•t

• Did some clean-up work to take care of this. I think it's pretty good now but someone else might want to look it over. --Lendorien 20:49, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• I did some further work to reduce the slight bias in tone - it leaned towards confirming the "visit", which isn't too neutral a point of view. WhiteLightning 18:11, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

October 3, 2006

• Malietoa - Inappropriate Attempt to control Wikipedia content. Mikedelsol 21:14, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep it real - Article just seems really iffy. Especially the end with the music. Should probably be updated/cleaned up. Robot Chicken 22:21, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

  Someone's proposed it for deletion. WhiteLightning 08:18, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

October 2, 2006

• Disney Channel's Hauntober Fest 2006 desperately needs cleanup. much of it reads as if it was pulled from disney, a different title is needed (i don't think hauntoberfest 2006 aired in 2001), and the formatting and grammar need work.cma 03:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Did the best I could! Crispy1995 22:00, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

• Peace is full of POV and has no references. I made some reccommendations for deletion/edits.Dudeman1st 12:20, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

October 1, 2006

• Bank Action Group - currently a quasi-promo article for a small online pressure group, but has some useful information in it on a current controversy. Group probably doesn't in and of itself merit an article, so the article could do with being rebased to the default charges controversy itself. 16:03, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
