February 2021
- Manuel Fal Conde - This article has multiple issues, it has a non-academic writing style, the chronology of this article is hard to follow, there are several grammatical or spelling errors. I think this article was translated from Spanish by a non-native speaker of English, as several definite articles are missing. Xwedodah (talk) 03:52, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done checked the "External links" section and removed some sources. It is strange that the Spanish version of the article is 10 times shorter than the English one. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 16:30, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thecho - Some sections are like lists. They need to be converted into the prose. Further, the article is unreferenced and citations should be added. –Kammill ⟨talk⟩ 08:51, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Marcelo Salas - this is an article about a very important footballer, but it is poorly written, and it seems like many parts were translated from Spanish literally. The intro seems to be too long and has too much information, some of it of dubious importance.--Celtic1985 (talk) 14:59, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- List of New York City Ballet dancers - poorly referenced, horrible citation style, many links redirects back to the article itself. Corachow (talk) 23:47, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Mostly fixed {{citation style}} (see diff), but didn't add any sources and article is still terrible. 🐈 cAtte_ · talk · contributions · 07:15, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Grapevine (disk magazine) - An independent floppy-disk based magazine for the Amiga. Original research and tone issues. Waxworker (talk) 18:26, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- Outcast (magazine) - A defunct LGBT magazine from the early 2000's. Original research and tone issues. Waxworker (talk) 19:09, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Peepal Khoont - Unencylopedic, in the need to be rewritten. –KamilAli 17:31, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Lomaloma - A giant and bulky article should be rewritten. –KamilAli 17:26, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
Benjamín Kuscevic – needs major (language) improvements.--LH7605 (talk) 00:35, 3 February 2021 (UTC)- Rander - Cleanup-tagged since 2012, inappropriate references, almost all of it is copy-pasted from another source. Needs a giant overhaul. Phantasm99 (talk) 17:16, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done - Kamil Ali Bhat (talk) 19:04, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- Nardo Zalko - a journalist and tango historian.
Lead section is too long. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 17:07, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Put most of the lead in a separate section. Still needs a fair bit of copyediting and cleanup. --Awker22 (talk) 19:56, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- List of Tom and Jerry characters - List of characters in the cartoon Tom and Jerry. Massive amount of uncited fancruft and outright false information, such as giving names to unnamed characters and listing brief visual gags as a character in of themselves, as well as odd non-sequitur statements such as "There is some debate as to whether this is the genuine Clint Clobber as the original Clint would never be an outright animal abuser; he was just a put-upon grouch". A lot of the false information given seems to also be on the Tom & Jerry fandom wiki. Waxworker (talk) 07:42, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Note: Not all of it may be false information. There are nicknames to almost all the characters in the Tom and Jerry universe, so it's possible someone heard about these nicknames and put them in the page. So I would keep the normally unnamed characters in, but remove the breif visual gag characters as you said. Phantasm99 (talk) 18:50, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
March 2021
- Hocine Ziani - needs shortening, now looks like a catalogue.Less Unless (talk) 12:14, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done cleaned up the "Bibliography" section. Much more cleanup is needed. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:03, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Stone dogs in the Leizhou Peninsula - Lots of copyediting needed due to grammatical errors, needs restructuring as well. pinktoebeans (talk) 18:45, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- EA Play - Information is outdated, insufficient information about the Origin version of the service, essential information is scattered across paragraphs with lengthy sentences. The k nine 2 (talk) 18:36, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Mathematics in Nepal - copyediting needed, may even need an AfD nom as it seems to overlap a lot with Indian mathematics pinktoebeans (talk) 22:58, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Corrected some spelling and grammar issues. Bradster763 (talk) 17:29, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- Gulfstream Park - Copy editing, additional citations, undue weight. More on talk page. JRHorse (talk) 12:49, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: Way too many line breaks as per MOS:PARA. Needs a lot of attention. Paragraphs need to be combined and the WP:TOC should be subsection-ified. I'll try but it's going to need the attention of a better editor. Catalyzzt (talk) 14:10, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done created some paragraphs and performed a basic cleanup. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 13:15, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
April 2021
- Bontang – Just undergo some restructuring and rewriting, need cleanup (idk what to cleanup tho but it looks a bit messy), thanks. Nyanardsan (talk) 22:21, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Fixed spelling and grammar issues throughout the article. Bradster763 (talk) 17:11, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- Dennis the Menace (U.S. comics) - An American comic strip about a mischievous boy named Dennis, not to be confused with a similar British strip of the same name. Fancruft and tone issues, as well as reliance on primary sources - a good chunk of the references on the article are the comic itself or unsuitable refs such as IMDB or the Grand Comics Database, which I'm not sure of the reliability of. I've already removed some particuilarly inappropriate refs such as links to search results on Bing. Waxworker (talk) 16:57, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- Schrödinger's cat in popular culture - Examples of the thought experiment Schrödinger's cat in pop culture. Excessive pop culture trivia that is uncited or cites itself, and there are inappropriate sources like Amazon and Facebook. I already removed an inappropriate section titled "merchandise", as it consisted of a bunch of links to buy shirts with Schrödinger's cat on them on sites like ThinkGeek. Waxworker (talk) 14:08, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
Comment: - How would everyone here feel about nominating this article for deletion? It breaks a lot of rules on indiscriminate fan trivia and unreliable sources.---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:46, 3 July 2021 (UTC)- The above suggestion has not attracted any support so it's off the table. The article seems to have some semi-regular editors who add things periodically, so cleaning it up might work better in the form of discussions with them at the article's talk page. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 20:44, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- In fact, I am considering taking it to AfD, as there is just one appropriately sourced statement about it in general and exactly one appropriately sourced statement about a specific case (that is, the source is independent, though it's a brief mention), so the only way I see to clean this up with the current sourcing is to remove 98% of the article.

- Johnson & Johnson#Coronavirus (COVID-19) - This section just sloppy. Tense errors like thinking September 2020's in the future. Lots of small paragraphs that were added when they were fresh. Poor transitions. In short, a lot of additions as the news came out, but it really needs to be thought through, molded into sensible paragraphs—stuff like that. Maybe it can just be stripped down since there's a full article about this? Thmazing (talk) 07:08, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Trimmed and organized section. ThinkHat (talk) 14:42, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
- Gals Panic - A Japanese series of erotic games predominately released for arcades. Massive amounts of uncited gamecruft - article is insanely long for what it is. Waxworker (talk) 22:52, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hadas Thier - American socialist and book author. I thought about AfD, but she may be notable. The article definitely needs a cleanup. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 06:05, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Checked the publications and removed less important ones, checked book reviews and removed promo citations from the publisher. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 19:55, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Fucoidan — this page needs quite a lot of copyediting Viséan (talk) 12:41, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: Hi Viséan: The article has received some attention, on 3 April 2021 (UTC) from ThinkHat, which was denoted with an edit summary stating "Clean up" (diff). Did this address your concerns? North America1000 15:08, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
May 2021
- Jung Bahadur Rana -
Needs template asking for citation.Large portions are original research.AbhigyaDahal (talk) 07:10, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Note: Partial strike. Requested template was added to the multiple issues template in 2017. — WILDSTARtalk 15:23, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
- Mega Man Maverick Hunter X - Needs expansion on the Plot and Gameplay headings, alongside some sentence rewrites. Shadowboxer2005 (talk) 02:03, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Amiga Power - Defunct 90's British gaming magazine dedicated to the Amiga line of computers. Lots of original research, promotional tone issues, and a lot of fancruft, with a good chunk of the article focusing on recurring jokes in the magazine. Waxworker (talk) 15:43, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done - Fixed most of the tone issues and removed some uncited cruft. Still needs more citations and less original research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taeluta (talk • contribs) 05:29, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
June 2021
- Insufficient justification - Needs slight adjustment in the tone of the article. It was written as if it was a school assignment. AbhigyaDahal (talk) 08:55, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
- Language interoperability - about programming language interoperability. An important concept with a low quality article. At least the grammar needs to be fixed, but it would be good to rewrite the entire thing. The section about VMs seems unrelated to me. Akeosnhaoe (talk) 06:14, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
- Nickelodeon Toys - Toys manufactured by kids television network Nickelodeon. Lots of original research, I've already removed some unreliable sources like Pininterest and Reddit. Waxworker (talk) 15:21, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

- The Sight (Clement-Davies novel) -
formatting issues andway too detailed. Eeidt (talk) 12:58, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done – Formatted the page per MOS. North America1000 11:13, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- Teleserye - similar problems, with lots of fancruft and requires verification. There were proposals to merge it with telenovela, but nothing's come of it. Can someone have a look at this? Image2012 (talk) 12:28, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- List of The Loud House characters - fancruft,
prone to vandalism and edit warring,and could also need some good sourcing. Image2012 (talk) 09:23, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- Appreciate the intervention in the edit warring situation. Now we just have to do the rest. Image2012 (talk) 05:04, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
- Note: Struck part of the above regarding needing more sourcing, which is no longer in the purview of this project. North America1000 11:17, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

- Rogue Trooper - Science fiction comic strip about super soldiers. Lots of fancruft and original research. Waxworker (talk) 22:06, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Removed a large chunk of the article that describes in detail the armada of the norts and southers as if they're real armed forces, a violation of Wikipedia:INUNIVERSE. At least it's not past tense. ☢️Plutonical☢️ᵀᵃˡᵏ ᵗᵒ ᵐᵉ 18:57, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
- R. Ponnappan Nadar - Except for the first few paragraphs, the article is entirely copied from his (no longer available) foundation's biography page [1], however I'm not sure how credible that information is or if the subject is even notable enough for Wikipedia. – Normal Name (talk) 05:12, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Removed a good amount of the article, mostly including content that violated WP:NPOV and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. Considering a nomination for WP:AFD. Rosalina2427 (talk) 04:34, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- Rajasthan Accounts Service - Looks like it was copied from a job listing and lists the responsibilities of each position. Would need to be completely redone – Normal Name (talk) 19:01, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Huge chunk was a copy vio. Tagged and notified. Platonk (talk) 23:24, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- The Carpentries
- tagged for linkrot and formatting issue;excessive detail likely needs a trim or rewrite. Aranya (talk) 19:46, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done — WILDSTARtalk 02:45, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done - trimmed a bit, added an advert tag - the article looks very promotional to me, but as I am not competent in the sphere, I'd prefer someone else take a look at it. Less Unless (talk) 10:56, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Seijuu Sentai Gingaman - This article is among several other articles related to Super Sentai that contains original research and fancruft issues with issues for this dating back to March 2008. I would trim it myself but afraid to have the pitchforks from some fans come after me if the section detailing the characters and arsenal is better suitable for RangerWiki is trimmed down. But in my opinion, it seriously needs to be trimmed for general audiences to understand better. Pahiy (talk) 18:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
August 2021
- Romani society and culture - article contains large spelling, grammatical, and stylistic errors, significant unsubstantiated claims and overly biased assertions (especially in relation to the origin of the Romani people), and overall unencyclopedic formatting and tone. Builder018 (talk) 11:26, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- Bunny Gibson – actress page needs major cleanup, with special attention for "References" section. KidAd • SPEAK 01:51, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done I did all that I'm willing, which was quite a bit. Details on talk page. Platonk (talk) 06:51, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
- Love Showdown (Archie Comics) – A rather notable Archie Comics storyline from the mid-1990s, the article may be in the territory of fancruft and original research.
I'm thinking with a few citations (articles about the storyline that the only Internet Archive citation mentioned in passing, the aftermath of the storyline, and its impact years later.) could help expand the article.Pahiy (talk) 14:05, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- Note: Partial strike per scope of this project. — WILDSTARtalk 12:51, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- List of LGBTQ Academy Award winners and nominees#Citations – See description there.--Hildeoc (talk) 14:14, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Green Man Gaming - Multiple issues.
Most importantly, needs citations to establish WP:NOTE (if not, would move to delete).Good chunk of the article does not appear to adhere to WP:NPOV and shouts WP:SOAP.Lots of copy edits needed.JRHorse (talk) 03:29, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done - Copy edit done. Neutral POV still needs to be ensured. Taeluta (talk) 05:35, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
September 2021
- Sol Kumin - Contains too much information (including lists of top racehorses he owns) and lean that might be better suited for a personal website and not a Wikipedia page. WP:COPYEDIT, MOS:LIST, WP:NEUTRAL. JRHorse (talk) 13:34, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done. I did a major copyedit on the article, but no major trim. Details on article's talk page. Platonk (talk) 01:56, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thomas & Friends merchandise - Unorganized and unsourced. An absolute mess of an article. Green Shy Guy 54 (talk) 15:06, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- South Yorkshire Transport - Tagging because while I thought this had only one section that was biased, it appears the entire article, written in 2007, massively fails WP:NPOV, barely makes use of one source and seems to have been written with some sort of malice by the original creator - see recently deleted entry on competition between companies. Would like some pointers on where I can go with it, or perhaps a decision on scrapping the article entirely and starting anew/merge it into either South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive/First South Yorkshire. For those in the know, should I write about Mainline in that article or does that go in First South Yorkshire? Unsure if this should go here, but worth a shot at discussing. Hullian111 (talk) 21:32, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
October 2021
- Music of the African diaspora + Black music. In the context of music, the articles refer to the same thing, and probably either need to be reworked to make the difference between the entities clear, or the articles should be merged. List of musical genres of the African diaspora (which is probably also needs to be cleaned up) also indicates that there is no difference between the entries at the moment. Solidest (talk) 15:59, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: I would support a merge of those two articles if you'd like to formally propose it (WP:MERGEPROP). ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:02, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- Social class in France the article looks like a draft - do you think it should be draftified? Moreover there's some issue with tagging and text. Less Unless (talk) 15:06, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: @Less Unless: I evaluated the article and placed my findings on its talk page. Platonk (talk) 21:40, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: I believe that article should be nominated for deletion. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:05, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- Psychology of collecting - neutrality concerns, and it has been suggested that it may need to be merged into Collecting. (for an IP editor) PJvanMill)talk( 07:34, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Superfund Group - bare urls in the text and in ref section.Less Unless (talk) 10:44, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- Fixed A bit more cleanup needed, as the copy is very promotional in style. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 19:40, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- Done Removed dubious/false claims. Added citations for all the most important facts. Some minor citations are still missing.--BruceThomson (talk) 10:13, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

- Magic Knight - Fictional knight that stars in a series of 80's computer games. The article has tone issues, and alternates between being about the character itself, and the game series it stars in as a whole. Original research and slight gamecruft issues. Waxworker (talk) 14:38, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
- Cueva de las Manos – The article needs source formatting cleanup. More specifically, the article needs standardization of references, per Talk:Cueva de las Manos#Pre-FAC comments and Talk:Cueva de las Manos#Reference formatting on its talk page. I am currently working on this already, but I need assistance. Thank you for your help! Best, Tyrone Madera (talk) 19:28, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Appreciation Index - There are quite a few broken links here and there in this article that need some updating, as the information provided talks about the average AIs from a decade ago and needs to be updated to be more recent. Pahiy (talk) 21:21, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done Broken links are fixed, but article still needs updating.--BruceThomson (talk) 04:51, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

- The Heatwave - British production crew from London. Needs careful evaluation of sources, most of them look like trivial mentions at unreliable sources. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 12:45, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
- Yuri Falik - Russian composer. Spooky design. Bad translation from Russian.--Владимир Бежкрабчжян (talk) 08:42, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
- Check for copyright vio from original/first version of the article. I suspect copyvio from The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. I don't have a copy to check and misplaced my link to a copyright-checking tool. Platonk (talk) 10:47, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
- List of Sundance Film Festival selections - Formatting and wikilinking issues. Wikilinks in section headers that aren't particularly pertinent. Last decade is basically links to other articles, but prior to that are huge tables. Probably duplicate information (films listed in both another article plus listed here).

Nintendo Gamer - Defunct British gamaing magazine dedicated to Nintendo games and hardware. Original research and fancruft issues, I've already removed sections dedicated to recurring jokes and a table of the highest scoring games, but the 'sections/features' section still needs trimming.Waxworker (talk) 15:54, 3 May 2021 (UTC)- Partly done: trimmed and condensed a large portion of that section, reducing list entries to one or two sentences each; also cleaned up refs. Aranya (talk) 03:45, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
Jampack - "Jampack Demos & Videos Listed" is a strangely-formatted list that's difficult to read. Also, there are a few issues in the lead, I think.AdoTang (talk) 03:20, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Done. I went ahead and removed the list, as it's poorly sourced and WP isn't a directory for every single video game demo in the Jampack releases. Bridget (talk) 16:33, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

- In Praise of Copying -
This article needs a lot of work- the most notable issue with it being that it should be quoting more from the reviews of the book.Lizardcreator (talk) 16:50, 20 May 2022 (UTC) - Client state#21st century - This section in particular is filled with
entries that either have 1. No citations, or 2. Citations that lead to opinion pieces, unreliable sources, sources that don't even mention what the citation is supposed to be supporting, or outrightblog posts Rousillon (talk) 17:18, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Police vehicles in the United States and Canada - Article is predominantly sourced from content found at policecararchives.org (a self-published online database) which is not cited but mentioned only in the external link section. Article is mostly uncited, and it has been this way since it was created in 2006, having gone through a series of expansions with several other online self-published websites/databases. See this 2010 version. Probably should be AfD'd, but could use another pair of eyes for evaluation to see if it could be cleaned up (with a chainsaw trimming job).Platonk (talk) 02:27, 18 November 2021 (UTC)- Done – I think. Removed the "Models by manufacturer", "Other police vehicles", and "Future" sections (too difficult to work with, mostly unsourced or unnecessary information anyway), added some information and images, and added more citations.
