 Partly done cleaned up everything related to the refs. Still needs to be substantially shortened. Not my field of expertise. Less Unless (talk) 20:26, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 Partly done shortened lead section a bit. The article needs expert attention to evaluate scientific content. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 17:31, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey Less Unless - this article was recreated earlier this month and tagged for similar issues, so I'm going reopen it for now. Aranya (talk) 04:54, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

 Partly done HeyItsFedor (talk) 13:32, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 Done - Mostly with better historical data and citations from LBJ's article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:54, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
information Note: - I started working on this and found that the article uses citations for two different bands of the same name. The one being discussed for real (the trance group) had just one minor release and little coverage. I have nominated them for deletion or redirect to the frontman. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lost Tribe. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:19, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

 Done - I think this is done; long plot template has been removed and style changes were both made through edits of many users. I don't think the other parts of the request can be done with the existing sources, and they are unfortunately out of the scope of the WikiProject. Aranya (talk) 20:15, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

 Comment: Article is extremely overlinked. To assist in the duplicate link cleanup, you can use this tool.WILDSTARtalk 17:41, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 Fixed - The notice in the article was placed two months ago and if there were many bare URLs then, it looks like the community fixed most of them. I found only one remaining and fixed it myself, so as of right now there are no more bare URLs in the article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:24, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
I originally said "Done" above and other people have changed my comment to "Partly Done" and then "Fixed" because of the change in topic. That's inefficient and it also enables other people to speak with my voice. The answer here is to close the first request about bare URL's, which I really did fix. I will start a new entry on the over-linking problem (see above) and someone can fix it and say they did so with their own voice. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:57, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

 Comment: with a ping to @Solidest:. Except for minor attempts to include music genre terminology, the two articles at Diablada and Diablada (Bolivia) are nearly identical, while History of the Diablada repeats info from both as well. I have initiated the merger proposal process for at least two of them at Talk:Diablada#Merger proposal. If nobody responds for a few weeks I can then do the merge myself, but if anyone resists we may need tough discussions on why duplicate info is inefficient. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:49, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 Done See the discussion at Talk:Diablada#Merger proposal, where we ended up with support for merging an absolute mess of six different articles into the main Diablada. The original request about music infoboxes has resulted in an extensive cleanup and massive merge process. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 20:23, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

 Fixed It was an extra "[[" in Template:Canadian Prairies. Platonk (talk) 13:08, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
 Comment: - There is an exact copy of this article at: [1]; not sure which site copied which. I have been around WP for a long time and have never seen a more preposterous candidate for the WP:TNT process. It looks like a direct copy of a high school student's research paper. I suppose Ms. Landmann is eligible for an article because she has been covered by biographers, but this travesty needs to be reduced by 99%. I could help as part of a team effort but it may be an uphill battle if we get reverted by the article's fans. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:28, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
@Doomsdayer520: from the bottom of the page you linked: "Kiddle encyclopedia articles are based on selected content and facts from Wikipedia, edited or rewritten for children." The website seems to have copied their article from here, but they seem to be following Wikipedia's licensing terms judging by the attribution statement at the bottom. Definitely agree that our article needs an extensive rewrite though. Aranya (talk) 02:58, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 Done, except for an issue with converting references to footnotes. I reduced the article to basic biographical facts, which made it probably 80% shorter. Most of it was about the general history of her religious group and deemed irrelevant for this one person's specific biography. I believe the whole thing was copied from a church publication. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:57, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

information Note: tried to address the detail a bit. I'm also unsure of Metternich's notability after reviewing the sources, so I've opened an AfD discussion. Aranya (talk) 15:16, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

 Done, actually, I went ahead and boldly removed most of the detailed statistics on their main product. Aranya (talk) 17:32, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

 Done Both links were dead and have been tagged as such. MarnetteD|Talk 04:17, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 Done — Removed excessive detail from sub-headings. Less Unless, it being so close to Halloween... leaves me wondering if that was a "trick" question?  :) — WILDSTARtalk 18:25, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
@WildStar: Those are all citations from 20-50 year old print magazines. I'm not sure they're available online (to get a title). We could, however, change the format of the citation so that the 'red font' in the references section goes away. Let me know if you think that would help, and I'll do that for you. Platonk (talk) 15:24, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
Platonk, since all of those CS1 style references fail to provide the needed bibliographic data (title), I believe it would be acceptable to improve them per WP:CITEVAR, retaining as much (if not all) of the information already there. If you feel the need, please feel free to discuss it further on the article's talk page. All the best and thank you! — WILDSTARtalk 16:58, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
 Fixed Platonk (talk) 19:17, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
 Done – Struck the above at this time. I fixed the last two instances of bare urls used as sources for notes in the article (diff, diff), and the (e.g. ?th impression) matter would require edits that may require significant research, which is not under the particular purview of this project; this latter aspect may be better addressed by posting a request at the Guild of Copy Editors' Requests page.

 Partly done - converted all the bare urls, but there's a ref called Ibid that is used about 10 times and is not citing anything. Also I've noticed original research and npov violations. Less Unless (talk) 08:14, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 Comment: Thank you Less Unless for the cleanup! — From what I can surmise, using Ibid is to indicate they are referencing the same source as the previous reference. — WILDSTARTALK 14:14, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
@WildStar and Less Unless: I went ahead and really boldly reverted the Biography section to an older version because of concerns with prose and sourcing. I think the sources with ibid were OK, it was more the heavy reliance on things like Baidu Baike, thepaper.cn, and IMDB/FindAGrave.com (per WP:RSP). The two sections analyzing her films are still there, I just moved them to separate section tagged for OR. I didn't change any recent reference additions and formatting changes, but I know I undid a lot of edits so please revert if you think I misjudged. Bridget (talk) 16:25, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
