• Ian Humphreys - No longer plays for Ulster Rugby Team.
• Association football tactics and skills - Article really needs a very thorough clean up to meed current Wikipedia standards, than what it used to be. There are images that need to be substituted too. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 19:39, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

November

• Poor man's copyright – This article is full of original uncited research. Would benefit from a complete work-over to make sure what is said is factually backed. 12:57, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
• Lensman series – A long article that lacks appropriate inline citations. The plot section would benefit from abbreviation, and the article contains too much unsourced fancruft information. Northamerica1000^(talk) 12:19, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
• Rongpa – This article about an Indian village would benefit from being edited for content, context, and formatting. While informative, it lacks citations.

• Toonami (Asia) This Article is about an upcoming television channel in South-East Asia. Help me to match it with Wikipedia Wiki Verification.

Article removed. 4DHS (talk) 06:25, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

I removed the strike-out that was previously in place for this article above; the article exists (appears to have been recreated) and remains in need of work. Northamerica1000^(talk) 01:31, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

• Star Trek: The Next Generation it is missing episodes, at least 1 in season 1. Maybe a vandal deleted it?

Do you have any sources you could provide that would suggest this claim? 4DHS (talk) 06:49, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

October

• Letter of credit – Much uncited material. Confusing. Self-published sources. It's difficult to find good sources; Google searches turn up Investopedia, sites promoting various financial products, "standby letter of credit" scams, and other junk sources. It's a real topic, but probably needs to be cited to some offline book. This needs attention by a financial professional. John Nagle (talk) 04:56, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
• UVB-76 – It was ok before but recently editors have been adding information about the station's day-to-day business which is really not that interesting or notable and reads more like a logbook than an article. CodeCat (talk) 12:14, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
• Puffed grain – No inline citations. 3 Further reading section entries exist that may possibly be usable to improve the article. Northamerica1000^(talk) 13:26, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

 Fixed: Looks to be cleaned up. Entries of events seem relevant and informative. Kobuu (talk) 15:38, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

• Pizza delivery – Lead requires expansion. Needs more inline citations per "citation needed" tags.

Nearly 3x length of lead. Could still use some work, but much better than what it was. ComfyKem (talk) 18:26, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

 Fixed: Article is clean of tags. Still needs content. Kobuu (talk) 15:38, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

• History of pizza – Several clean-up matters tagged atop the article.

 Fixed: Article is clean of tags. Kobuu (talk) 15:38, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

July

• Bondo (putty) Generally sloppy. Only one citation. Very biased tone. Information about the product is very limited and does not include information about other products in the Bondo line (fiberglass filler, plastic filler, etc.) or any history on the brand. Not much information on how it works or why it is used (it is also extensively used for sculpture and modification of consumer goods). Doesn't even contain a link to the product web page.

• Metabolic window - Very badly constructed and poorly written. Sources listed by last name in the article, but not present in Notes or References section.

 – Cleaned up. Northamerica1000^(talk) 13:45, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

• Ike & Tina Turner- I tagged this a while back as having multiple issues, the templates have been removed but it's not much better as far as I can see.

• Burton upon Trent I just looked at this article and did a bit of rearranging, but I think it's struggling a bit and could do with some help.

 – Cleaned up. Northamerica1000^(talk) 13:32, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

 – I've done some preliminary clean-up to the page's layout and added the "expert attention requested" template. Northamerica1000^(talk) 04:11, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

February

• The Sopranos: The whole article is unbelievably laboured throughout. Extent of content in Info' box has been discussed previously, and has been debated extensively but to no avail, thanks to the aggressive participation of non-registered IPs. Suggest partial protection before attempting editing on this article. A project on which I would then be more than pleased to participate.

--- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 11:34, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Have you tried requesting protection at WP:RFPP? -- œ^™ 02:04, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

I have just put in a request for Temporary semi-protection. I should like to thank El duderino, and everyone else who has helped on The Sopranos since 25 February 2012 (UTC)--- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 10:45, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

The Sopranos (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection:

Persistent sockpuppetry. Repeated deletion of sourced material by new editors. Persistent vandalism. I have had help from the Wikipedia:Cleanup Project (since February 25) and I should welcome your help in maintaining this article. Thank you, Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 11:06, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

—"China National Tea Museum". China.org.cn. October 15, 2011. Retrieved February 17, 2012. ((cite web)): External link in |publisher= (help) (Includes text and video). Northamerica1000^(talk) 20:52, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

• Rail transport in Russia – Lede is short. Tagged for tone and neutrality issues. Information could be better-organized into sections and subsections.

• Rail transport in Queensland – Lede is very short. Much content is in list format; conversion to prose may benefit the article. Additional inline citations are needed.

• BAFTA Award for Best Makeup and Hair – No lede. Entirely in list format (no prose). Unreferenced.

*Jeanie Johnston - "Personal communication" as a reference. Would someone please look at (and probably revert) this edit of Jeanie Johnston [1] I would explain that <ref>((Personal communication, Aiseanna Mara Teoranta))</ref> is not acceptable, (and it is tagged as such), but in the light of the reason given for the changes: (I reverted some of user Lugnad's changes, as he or she deleted withouth comment several unfavourable, but researched and sourced facts about the ship. Also fixed some typos.) It might be better received from someone other than I. Just to add, I have no idea what changes of mine are being referred to. Thanks, Lugnad (talk) 11:34, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for responding Lugnad (talk) 18:31, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

• Open University of Sudan - A user that seems to be related to this university added lots of content. First I've rollbacked it, than I've replaced and fixed it as a minor layout copyedit. All this content is related to this university and may be useful but I still have the doubt that it's wroten as a sort of Brochure. --Dэя-Бøяg 21:23, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

 – Information very likely copied and pasted, or written verbatim per University literature has been removed. The article is now a stub. Northamerica1000(talk) 08:00, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
