August 2019

  • Video game addiction - I think this requires some cleanup from an uninvolved editor, if that's OK, and then I'll look at improving it per WP:MEDRS before GA nom. Thanks so much! --[E.3][chat2][me] 08:16, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
  Done I have gone through the article and fixed any problems that I saw. Tragically, the requesting user has since left Wikipedia over a dispute. PJvanMill)talk( 17:36, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
  • SuperM - Korean boy band. Promotional language, needs sources evaluation. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 08:56, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
  • List of Muslim Other Backward Classes communities in India – Uses non-hyperlinked, hard-coded footnotes. Needs someone to go through and turn the text notes into actual footnotes, then to condense the notes into one area.—A garbage person (talk) 20:06, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
  • G-dragon - in my opinion this article based on a neutral point of view and should be cleaned MRAU-vip 03:29, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Bhim Bahadur Tamang – The whole article needs to be cleaned up in terms of grammar/syntax/tone/etc. Not sure if that's copy editing or cleanup, but I flagged it as the latter. -Nostriker (talk) 20:57, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
  Partly done - fixed spelling and grammatical errors, removed irrelevant sections. werewolf (talk) 05:29, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
Essentially   Done. Struck the above entry. The above has been addressed (diff), and the article is presently a two-sentence stub (link). North America1000 05:15, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Tania Vinokur - Israeli dancer/musician. Looks non-notable to me (possibly a deletion candidate). I careful cleanup and references checkup is needed. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:50, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
  Note: I do not think this is a deletion candidate. The Jerusalem Post and Bangkok Post articles look to be reliable and significant coverage. This needs a lot of work on ref formatting and NPOV/excessive detail. PJvanMill (talk) 21:33, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
I did some citation cleanup so at least it doesn't look like a bunch of raw URLs. Normal Op (talk) 08:45, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

September 2019

Took a stab at copyediting but the article needs better sourcing and further editing Tvannsprecher (talk) 22:35, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
  • List of SS personnel – This quite detailed list needs a general overhaul, in particular regarding a standardized style (cf. e. g. use of uncommon and often German (!) abbreviations), and formatting; also still deficient typography (cf. e. g. false use of hyphens instead of dashes).--Hildeoc (talk) 19:25, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Kristiansand – I just came across this article, which seems to need a thorough clean-up with regard to language (cf. e. g. the – IMHO unintelligible – passage in the Culture section beginning with "The municipality millennium is Tresse - Retranchement").--Hildeoc (talk) 19:12, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Pennsauken Creek - a couple of bare URLs in references. Tinton5 (talk) 19:58, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
  Partly done Formatted the third reference somewhat better. The second one redirects to the originating site's mainpage. OwnstheBeagles (talk) 22:52, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Pulagam Chinnarayana - This article has been tagged for cleanup saying "This article may have been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments". I am working on updating it to comply with Wikipedia standards and update has been done to a certain extent. Please, do further cleanup if necessary. - Yasshu28 (talk) 15:41, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Tincture (heraldry)#Poetic representation — Needs integration into the rest of the article, the in-text cites turned into footnotes, shortening, and some legwork to track down the citations needing expansion. —A garbage person (talk) 19:02, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Holm Arno Leonhardt - German scientist. Needs shortening and code formatting. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:02, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

October 2019

  • Erwadi — a lot of inconsistent formatting as well as a lot of content highly particular and biased for a Wikipedia artcle. — oi yeah nah mate amazingJUSSO ... [ɡəˈdæɪ̯]! 12:41, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
  Partly done - crr formatting of 2 bare urls --Less Unless (talk) 23:42, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
  Partly done Deleted large blocks of unreferenced, irrelevant text. Fixed the tone to some extant. The "History" section is yet to be fixed and the validity of its sole reference checked. Tetrahedron17 (talk) 18:09, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Jia (vessel) – Further copy-editing & clean-up required (regarding style, e. g. inconsistent use of present / past tense; regarding formatting, particularly note section Important examples).--Hildeoc (talk) 15:40, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
  Partly done Cleaned up Important examples.--MarialeegRVT (talk) 05:38, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

  Partly done Need more info... UB Blacephalon (talk) 15:59, 17 December 2019 (UTC)\
  • Free Territory: This article lacks secondary, scientific sources. The sources listed are almost exclusively political pamphlets that are obviously biased. The article itself was probably written as fanfiction and continues to be used as such. Sourced information on this civil war groups ethnic cleansing against the german-speaking menonite minority was recently replaced with additional quotes from anarchist propaganda literature. The lack of reputable sources and literature points towards another problem with the subject: The articles claim that the thing described was a state seems doubtfull. There may have been a militia and a warlord, but there are apparently no sources that indicate the existence of any institutions or anything else that would constitute a state or any society. tl;dr: This article seems to be fiction from the political fringes. -- Liberaler Humanist (talk) 15:05, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Could anyone proofread Kain Rivers? Basically, the article is about a Ukrainian singer, which, nevertheless supposedly got media coverage for 2018–2019 to be presented on the Wikipedia, is an orphan and a mess. There are several paragraphs about the Jewish film where the subject acted just a cameo or so, such ad-like bold sentences, like «This is an art “bomb” comparable to the "Schindler's List" by Steven Spielberg», with no actual critic references at hand. On top of that, the authors of the all «interwikie» articles about [[Kain Rivers]] are pretty strange newly registered users with minimum edits except as to [[Kain Rivers]] himself, while his article in Russian has been already deleted thrice for being an ad and spam with no encyclopedic notability (https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kain_Rivers&action=edit&redlink=1). -- pr12402, 14 November 2019
  Partly done I've removed the worst of it. I'm finding it difficult to evaluate whether the subject is even notable, as almost all of the sources are in Russian. PJvanMill (talk) 22:25, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

December 2019

  Not done I've proposed deletion. PJvanMill (talk) 12:41, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
  Note: The PROD tag has been contested, someone found 2 sources. PJvanMill (talk) 19:07, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Teaser campaign - needs a complete rewrite. Only one source for a minor claim, copyright violations, and an all-around terrible article within the rules of the site. Thanks! DemonDays64 (talk) 18:47, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
  Partly done added more refs, slightly rephrased --Less Unless (talk) 12:51, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Comment Looking at the user page of the creator, I see a pattern: ALL the seasons, each article consisting almost entirely of tables, sourced mostly to 'coludata.co.uk'. PJvanMill)talk( 00:54, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

January 2020

  • William V. D'Antonio - US social scientist. Promotional and unreferenced. I emoved some puffery, but a bit more cleanup is needed. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 21:05, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
  Comment: Struck part of the above, as the article presently has nine inline citations (diff). North America1000 23:30, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Visitdallas - US non-profit. Overly detailed and contains multiple reference duplications. I cleaned up some but a bit more work is needed. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 19:22, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
  Partly done Finished removing duplicate references. Ghostofakina (talk) 02:27, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
  • Anant Laxman Kanhere - ...Just check the tags. Not even 100% sure it meets notability, but going on a hunch to say it might..? --moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 17:05, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
  • Janhavi Panwar - i created this page but now it does have 4 cleanup tags, i feel it needs to be re-written as per wp:tone and some citation cleanup required too. Shubhi89 (talk) 14:24, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
  Partly done - Fixed bare URL, replaced short blacklisted YouTube URL with full URL. -- WILDSTARtalk 21:56, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
  • T. V. John Langworthy - citation overkill, however not inline. External links need to be transformed in inline citations as well (or at least formatted properly). --Less Unless (talk) 00:06, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

  • Marcelo_Odebrecht Lots of expletives: FUCKING and such on the Talk page. The mainspace also somewhat POV and maybe even COI. Zezen (talk) 23:43, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
  Not done Seems pretty neutral - I've removed what little non-neutral content I saw. Zezen: per Wikipedia's talk page guidelines, we cannot remove the word "FUCKING" from someone else's comments (at least not if it's used for emphasis). Also, this WikiProject deals primarily with content problems - we clean up articles, not talk pages, and screaming IPs are well outside of our scope.

HLHJ, I'd say from looking at a few edits that the solution for most of this is simply the "undo" button (and manual undoing when the "undo" button doesn't work), with "please provide a source for this" resp. "adding the age at death there is not necessary" in the edit summary. If they keep doing it and being non-responsive, that would eventually be cause for a block. Suspiciously similar editors, by the way. Not sure if I'm helping, you've been here way longer than I have. ​​ PJvanMill)talk( 18:46, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
Thank you, PJvanMill. Having been here a long time is not a guarantee of experience;   I know little about cleanup. I'll wait a week for a response (that's tomorrow) and then look at some sort of semi-automated mass revert. Possibly a sock check would be in order too, I'm not sure. HLHJ (talk) 03:43, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi, PJvanMill. I went through all of Mr kindheart's edits you hadn't gone over, and fixed or reverted all but the age-at-death ones, and de-WP:COPYVIO'd Priscilla Baltimore and created it. Still more to go. HLHJ (talk) 15:14, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Djibrilla, the dates were changed in the latest edit by an account named Davvec, seemingly vandalism. Just go to the page history, click "undo" for that edit, and save. Kind regards from PJvanMill)talk( 17:09, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

  Done - the cleanup work at least. As for notability, I've left the tag up for now; I'm thinking it might be borderline notable (emphasis on might), but it depends on how AfD participants would evaluate the reliability and independence of certain sources, and there might be better sources out there.

This was a translation from the German WP. The article was translated, the sources not carriewd over. This is a common problem, because the deWP handles sources a little differently and the CITE macros don't translate properly. So I fixed a few and added them. Everyone working with articles on a figure from a non-English speaking country should check the WP for that country's language. DGG ( talk ) 21:12, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

  • Santadas Kathiababa - The most critically deprived article I've ever seen that isn't nominated for deletion. I have tried to correct some grammar here and there but I really need help. It has no sources and is poorly written. I sometimes try to correct something but I sometimes see that the context changes and I have no clue what the writer meant. Wretchskull (talk) 14:40, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
  Comment: @Wretchskull: Maybe because the contributor(s) is removing tags (including {{notability}}); he is also doing so in another (Bengali) wiki. He has been warned several times by several wikipedians, but he never listens. And now he is doing the same here. Meghmollar2017 • Talk • 14:17, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

  • Kathy Griffin - I edit on a smartphone so moving texts around is a challenge:
    • this BLP might need to integrate Controversies sections into career sections.
    • Mark any statements needing sourcing.
    • Mark any sections needing expanding.
    • open to any suggestions to improve the overall article. Many thanks in advance! Gleeanon409 (talk) 22:43, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
  Comment: - I would consider this request to be outdated or moot because Griffin's article is frequently edited by many contributors, so the above issues have slowly been tackled over time while new ones have arisen. I see few passages that need better sourcing or expansion, while the call to generally improve the article or combine sections are matters of opinion that can be discussed at its Talk page. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 23:56, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
