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)
 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)
 Partly done - Kamil Ali Bhat (talk) 19:04, 2 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)
  • information 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

 Partly done cleaned up the "Bibliography" section. Much more cleanup is needed. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:03, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 Partly done Corrected some spelling and grammar issues. Bradster763 (talk) 17:29, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 Partly done created some paragraphs and performed a basic cleanup. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 13:15, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

April 2021

 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. PJvanMill)talk( 01:21, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
  • 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)
 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)

July 2021

 Partly done – Formatted the page per MOS. North America1000 11:13, 14 November 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)
 Partly done Huge chunk was a copy vio. Tagged and notified. Platonk (talk) 23:24, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 Partly doneWILDSTARtalk 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

 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)
information Note: Partial strike per scope of this project. — WILDSTARtalk 12:51, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

September 2021

 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)

 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)
 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)

November 2021

 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)
 Partly done Broken links are fixed, but article still needs updating.--BruceThomson (talk) 04:51, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

It's a 187,831-byte article with 380 citations... could you be more specific as to which section, WildStar? Platonk (talk) 17:32, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
Platonk, sure... just look for the {{Excessive citations}} cleanup maintenance template with the 2 inline templates here. You can't miss it! :-) — WILDSTARtalk 17:45, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

 Done there are none when I open it - can you check what you mean, Bridget? Less Unless (talk) 14:44, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
@Less Unless: Sorry I should have specified there are a couple "no-target errors" with the inline {{harv}} citations. Some of the citations had publication years that were different than the full citations they were pointing to. I think this should be fixed now though. Best, Bridget (talk) 16:12, 26 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. AdoTang (talk) 00:44, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
