Wikipedia:WikiProject Talk pages/Examples

Below are some fine examples of what exactly we do.

Talk:Longview, Texas

I just completed cleanup of Talk:Longview, Texas, which was tagged with {{Tpcleanup}}, and wanted to share some of the issues I found:

1. {{Talk header}} was present on the talk page despite the absence of "frequent or perpetual debate [... or] controversy";
2. Two topics were missing section headings;
3. Two comments were unsigned and undated;
4. Several comments lacked proper indentation;
5. Two IP signatures pointed to a red link IP user page;
6. Excessive whitespace in some sections;
7. Excessive unnecessary capitalization of section headings; and
8. The content of a user's comment was changed by another editor on three occasions: . I reverted the first and third, but left the second in order to avoid inserting a possible BLP error.

I know, of course, that these issues may not be present on other talk pages, but this example suggests that the list on the project page is quite comprehensive. Also, I was surprised that a page with only about 30 revisions contained three instances of a user modifying the content of another's comment. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 22:46, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
