May 2019

  • Comment – The WP:LEAD section of articles often do not need sources because the lead section summarizes content in other sections of the article. If the latter content has sources, then citations are not needed in the lead. North America1000 09:55, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
Partly done – Formatted references and marked dead link. Syntaxlord (talk) 01:28, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

 Not done See note below. -- WILDSTARtalk 12:49, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
Information Note: Itemirus The MediaWiki software is rendering the page correctly using a Responsive Design Mode (RDM). The placing of images, templates, etc. when editing and after publishing can differ for a variety of reasons. You can preview your page using source editing instead of visual editing to get a better idea how it will look before publishing. There are advanced techniques you can use as found at WP:EIS and even using CSS to force a different outcome. However, because there is an inordinate amount of images in that article, expect things to differ substantially between various screen sizes. Consider reviewing MOS:IMAGES, and in particular MOS:SANDWICH for all the sandwiching I saw in the article. Sometimes, less is more. Thank you. -- WILDSTARtalk 12:49, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
Partly done I've removed the bad stuff, but the bad stuff was everything, so it needs to be written from scratch. PJvanMill (talk) 16:37, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Information Note: Struck the above entry. At this point, the article could be submitted to Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests. North America1000 00:57, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 Not done Not a cleanup request, more something for the WP:Teahouse. PJvanMill (talk) 19:01, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi PJvanMill. This article has gone through Teahouse and has been revised and improved by some editors already. This should be for cleanup now. I'm seeking for anyone's assistance here to publish the article already. Thank you. Antagonizer05 (talk) 02:16, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
(reinstating my removed comment and re-striking request -- both of these users are socks of the same person and have been blocked accordingly. PJvanMill (talk) 19:48, 18 June 2020 (UTC))
Partly done converted some urls and marked several as dead. There are plenty on the webpage jamba and one heavenmusic.gr that lead to the main page rather than the one dedicated to the mentioned pieces. Need help with those - what do we do in such cases? Less Unless (talk) 20:13, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
Fixed remaining bare URLs. -- WILDSTARtalk 22:44, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
Information Note: not sure if this person is even notable. No inline citations; "References" consists of google scholar citation number, two dead pages on the site of his university, two of his publications, and a dead site. There are no claims in the article that would make him satisfy one of the criteria of WP:NACADEMIC, let alone sources for them. I will try to look for some sources, but if I'm unsuccessful, I will probably nominate it at AFD. PJvanMill (talk) 21:04, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
Partly done I get the impression that there are probably enough sources out there to write an article, but it would have to be rewritten from the very ground up. For now I've gutted the article. PJvanMill (talk) 18:22, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
Information Note: Striking this entry as the work that remains to be done is not cleanup work. PJvanMill (talk) 21:44, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment – Before people from this outside project jump in and change the article, I strongly recommend discussing matters first at Talk:Charing Cross tube station § Rewrite, which was initiated yesterday on 9 May 2019. Also of consideration is that the article was nominated for consideration to become a WP:GOODARTICLE only two days ago, on 8 May 2020 (diff). Would removing content make the article less likely to pass a GA-review? North America1000 05:26, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
  • So, I did discuss this the person who made the edits. There is no use to go back and forth with him because it was clear he disagrees. I honestly don't think it's much of a debate that if the former page was too little then the expansion is MUCH too much. I even left suggestions of how it could be improved. The length simply isn't consistent with other comparable pages. --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:25, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
  • I don't think we did discuss this as such. You made a comment that you though the article was too long and detailed. I made a comment that it was following precedents of other better quality articles from our WikiProject. I also don't think that WP:CLEAN is intended for the sort of changes that you are asking for. You don't say which articles you are comparing this one to, but, in my response, I gave some examples of other good and featured articles on our project. I only provided examples of London Underground related articles, but there is also London Necropolis railway station (GA), Herne Hill railway station (FA), London Bridge station (GA) and Quainton Road railway station (FA), all of which have long detailed history sections. I'm not suggesting that all station articles should be expanded to this level of detail - most of them don't have this amount of history - but Charing Cross tube station did have a long gestation period, which I believe is worth including. You commented that instead of condensing the article, the edit expanded it to a a ridiculously long level. Why is a detailed history of planning and construction ridiculous? As the previous version of the article was lacking basic key information, how could it have been condensed?--DavidCane (talk) 10:58, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
Information Note: While at first I did think the history section seemed rather long and possibly overdetailed, on closer inspection, I get the impression that the length is not due to an excessive level of detail, but more to the amount of history that the station has. Everything in the section seems to be properly sourced, as well. That it is longer than articles on similar topics is not much of an argument in that case. Given all that, I am striking this entry as probably not needing cleanup. PJvanMill (talk) 21:51, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
Partly done Converted urls, marked 1 link as dead. Less Unless (talk) 13:28, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

  • Information Note: The Baybayin article presently has no citation needed templates on it. The article does have one "better source needed" template, in its History section. @CommanderPhoenix: Could you perhaps expound upon and provide specific examples regarding your view that the article contains "unscholarly content"? This addition qualification would be be useful. Also, it may be more functional to post your concerns on the article's talk page, where others with an interest in this specific topic are more likely to see what you have to say.

@Technophant This looks quite good actually. It's well-sourced, neutral, and for the most part very readable. I think it's quite clear from the lead that this isn't currently much of a threat. The only improvement that I immediately see is that the second sentence of the lead should be split up into 2 or 3 sentences. Is there any specific problem you need help with?
