{{Partly done}} Done a significant tidy up, just haven't organised the awards and prizes. BJCHK (talk) 14:17, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

  • Capuliatosource n. 8: "permanent dead link". JacktheBrown (talk) 19:50, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
  • :{{done}} https://web.archive.org/web/20201001011344/https://tenutacollotta.it/prodotto/capuliatu-di-pomodori-secchi/ on wayback machine captured 1-oct-2020 shows that Capuliato is a product for sale . Based on article edit history, I assume editor was attempting to add more references and added the description of a product from the online retailer.

  • Genovese saucesource n. 5: "permanent dead link". JacktheBrown (talk) 19:00, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
  • :Request made in MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist, titled "Genovese sauce source link". Site that was referenced went defunct, Hal Licino electronically published same titled recipe with dishably in 2022. Will mark done when approved.

  • Mortadellasource n. 5: "permanent dead link". JacktheBrown (talk) 13:28, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
  • : {{Comment}}Based on the original blogs title and matching up the source info. Fairly certain the web author wanted to change the page's title and move it to the magazine section because it was more of an informational web article. Link was found by Google advance search for Myrtle with URL domain. Only 6 webpages came up. Then info in wiki article was inline checked for matches after which a Google and advanced search was done to verify inline facts at the same URL, no other webpage matched perfectly as source. https://mortadellabologna.com/magazine/protagonisti-di-un-mito/padri-del-nome-mortaio-o-mirto/. If you are uncertain, I can contact thru the website for further verification. Will this work RCSCott91 (talk) 04:40, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Bias against left-handed people (see this). JacktheBrown (talk) 23:24, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Civilitysource n. 16: "permanent dead link". JacktheBrown (talk) 23:10, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
  • : {{done}} Placed new link to article. No article is publicly shown on the July 2012 issue of Psychology today that remotely matches the source title but I also can't find any authored articles by Ray Williams publicly viewable on psychology today's website yet his work is referenced by other editorials on the website. I assume some type of copyright agreement was made between Ray Williams and Psychology Today. He seems to have viewable copies of his alleged editorials. The one referenced can be found on LinkedIn.RCSCott91 (talk) 04:29, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Right-wing populismsources n. 114, 452 and, probably, others have problems. JacktheBrown (talk) 12:22, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
  • John Crawford (actor) – messy “selected filmography” section. Requesting this section to be converted into a table to be more organized and improve readability. Tinton5 (talk) 02:03, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
  • When Life Gives You Tangerines – Can anyone please Romanize the Korean characters on certain references provided, especially authors (First/Last) and website names? This is an English Wikipedia, and some users cannot read those. It also violates WP:EN. ⋆。˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚。⋆ 17:20, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Taíno mythology - Can someone please give this article attention? It is in desperate need of a style clean-up, and it's written almost like an essay, no sections and very few sources. Casinator (talk) 03:53, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Kevin Hagen - Table in filmography section has extra unnecessary column, needing clean up (also needs headers for each column), other fixes Tinton5 (talk) 20:19, 23 March 2025 (UTC) {{Done}}
  • Jon Woods - puffery and conclusions not based on citations; and it implies a conspiracy theory about his endorsement of Trump in 2016. It looks like his political campaign staff wrote it. User:KulovCCCP 16:13, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Luke 18source n. 18: "permanent dead link". JacktheBrown (talk) 08:08, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
  • :{{Done}} Fixed. MediaKyle (talk) 17:38, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Eichmann trial - the article lacks inline citations and some sources are questionable at best. Would improve it myself but sadly I lack the time because I have a busy work schedule. G o m m e h 15:18, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Ham (see talk) – inconsistency of English (BE or AE?). JacktheBrown (talk) 17:05, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Panini (sandwich)sources n. 7 and 8: "page not found". JacktheBrown (talk) 01:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
  • :{{Done}} They worked for me, I added archive links anyways, plus another citation where it was needed. MediaKyle (talk) 17:29, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Italian wedding soup"Page not found". JacktheBrown (talk) 15:34, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
  • :{{Done}} Probably the webpage was down but I also added archive link to inline reference. RCSCott91 (talk) 03:28, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Terence Hillsources n. 2 and 9. JacktheBrown (talk) 19:32, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

  • :{{done}} archived Italian language version for link. RCSCott91 (talk) 04:13, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Kongjian Yu - For a reasonably notable figure (I am not particularly interested in planning, but I have heard of his "sponge cities"), the article is in an odd state. I have tried to fix the most blatant spelling and grammar errors, but it is still very repetitive and oddly structured (e.g., 'Achievements' section describes awards and honors, some of which are also in 'Awards' section) and has some strange verbiage. I think it needs to be looked at by an expert on the subject. Eelmealdeal (talk) 01:05, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

{{Partly done}} Am no expert but created a table of the projects and made all the book refs into citation format. Not touching the main body of text! BJCHK (talk) 13:09, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

=February 2025=

::*Struck the above. The remaining maintenance tags in the article at this time are for the addition of references, which is outside of the purview of this project. North America1000 05:51, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

  • Raleigh Hotel (South Fallsburg, New York) - some bare URLs in references. Tinton5 (talk) 07:57, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
  • :I've cleaned up the references by standardizing citation formatting, replacing bare URLs with full citations, and adding Wayback Machine archive links for sources that are no longer accessible. SergeGardien (talk) 23:27, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

=December 2024=

{{Done}} I created tables for the long list and moved the masses of citations to the tables. BJCHK (talk) 09:36, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

  • Glenn Chadbourne - Biography of a living person that contains no citations to reliable sources (non-affiliated and non-WP:BLPSPS). JFHJr () 19:46, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Alessandro Giardelli-Terribly written, most of the tenses are wrong and grammar is non-existent. Excessive citations and too much detail in certain parts. AsaQuathern (talk) 22:32, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
  • :I removed a couple cleanup tags that didn't seem to fit the state of the article, but holy crap, you're not kidding about the excessive citations and detail. I don't really feel competent in deciding what should be cut or not (are all these preliminary and practice rankings necessary?), so I've just started focusing on the grammar to the best of my ability. But someone who knows more about racing (read: knows something about racing) should probably come in here with an axe! Maybe a blunt one! Fieari (talk) 04:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
  • ::{{done}} (with extensive help from, and thanks to, Spyder Monkey, Road Atlanta Turn 5, and a random IP) Fieari (talk) 00:16, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
  • Structured criticality- the whole page needs help in restructuring AsaQuathern (talk) 02:47, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
  • :{{Comment}} I suppose you could say the article itself is structured critically.{{Jokes}}{{pb}}But on a serious not, the article's most major contributor is an IP from 2005, and the second most major seems to be SmackBot.

  • ::Yeah I really don't know anything about the topic nor how to clean the article up. Plus there is a similar article. Perhaps merging the two would be the best AsaQuathern (talk) 16:21, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
  • :::What is that similar article? – Daℤyzzos (✉️ • 📤) 22:36, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Italian cuisine – cleanup per MOS:OVERLINK (too many links). JacktheBrown (talk) 01:40, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
  • :@JacktheBrown I went through and removed what I thought were unnecessary links (eg potatoes, tomatoes, wine) and repeats (eg neapolitan pizza, Tuscan/Tuscany) but it seems they were all rolled back. So I will leave it for someone else to look at. BJCHK (talk) 02:10, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Temi Adeniji - The article may require general cleanup, as most of its information is incorrect. I have addressed it on the talk page for easy editing and I have been trying to do that since yesterday, my edit keeps being reversed for this reason WP:CDNI. --Afí-afeti (talk) 14:53, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

  • :{{partly done}} I fixed the permanent deadlink issues. However as for the formatting problem it appears that the link to George De Stefano's article has been deleted. I cannot find whether there has been an archive for that url. -- 00101984hjw (talk) 23:35, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

  • Verna Mersereau - reference clean up needed, with various red links. Tinton5 (talk) 19:31, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Slip of the Tongue – most of the article's structure needs to get a re-write and cleaning. Most structure and wording is bad, general ref and article clean-up is needed. Article expansion is necessary. -- HereIGoAgain (talk)
  • :{{Partly done}} improved wording in "Background" section -- Agnieszka653 (talk) 15:04, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

  • :{{partly done}} Did some ref cleanup. --- 00101984hjw (talk) 02:15, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
  • ::{{Reply|00101984hjw}} Thank you for that. Unfortunately, it seems like the article has gotten worse, with 90% of it being a list of who he's worked with and the only thing about the subject being his engagement & marriage. BOTTO (TC) 19:54, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
  • :::Most of the content added were from IPs so yeah no surprise it's in that state. I'll go ahead an clean up the citekill. -- 00101984hjw (talk) 22:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Geoff Ramsey - nearly every source fails WP:RS and WP:QUESTIONED. Anything citing Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, podcasts, the Rooster Teeth website, or primary sources should be removed.

:{{Partly done}} deleted Reddit, Twitter, Insta, YouTube and Rooster Teeth citations by BJCHK (talk) 19:35, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

::* Struck at this time. This project does not accept requests for additional sources or citations to be added to articles. However, the improvements performed are certainly appreciated. North America1000 12:34, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Solar reforming - This is an article about a scientific topic and is written with appropriate clarity and references. However some clean up may be needed to improve the content according to Wiki standards Help is appreciated ASB95
  • 8 Canada Square — I'm sure a few of the recent changes were done in good faith but overall the format just seems unacceptable now. One of the references is literally to a reddit post. I'm seeing if we can amend the page to meet wiki standards or just rollback the entire thing. - Imcdc Contact 15:28, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
