Articles that require an extensive cleanup should be submitted to the list below with details. See Wikipedia:Cleanup process for more information.

Basically, if the article isn't quite a stub, but it is in need of more content, a re-wording, or even just a structural adjustment, it should be placed here. Those NSwikians who prefer to be editors can then go through this list and make their contributions to those pages that are most in need of help. This should not be a list of stubs. See also, What to contribute.

Note that articles in the general namespace should be put here, not meta pages.

Categories for cleanup

For a review of the situation regarding articles in Category:Sober Thought, please see the relevant section on that user's talk page. The initial concerns can now be found on category talk page. Gruen2alk 19:04, 29 November 2005 (GMT)

Articles for cleanup

  • Holy Vatican See - someone jammed the flag and replaced it with the picture of a busy road.
  • Violet - completely written in first person, very informal, needs to be cleaned up. -- Ceorant 16:25, 6 November 2005 (GMT)
  • Discussion moved to Talk:Violet.
    • This is becoming a big conversation, that's dwarfing the Cleanup page, so I'm moving the comments here over to the talk page, so we can reach a consenus. Hope this makes sense. Gruen2alk 10:12, 17 November 2005 (GMT)
  • Fourth Edolian War - I started it but it needs to be finished by people who were more involved. Knoot 14:49, 3 Oct 2004 (GMT)
  • Magic (Khrrck) needs some rewriting cleanup; was written a long time ago. I may do some of it myself, but if anyone's interested feel free. --Khrrck
    • 02:40, 11 Nov 2004 (GMT) I dont think it needs anything. It doesnt seem passive or anything. Kerbistan.
    • Still needs fixing. Excellent ideas, but I can't stand to edit it myself - if anyone wanted to volunteer I'd be very, very grateful. Mostly one-sentence-paragraph and punctuation problems, but fix it up as you see fit. Khrrck 00:10, 12 November 2006 (GMT)
  • Despite the recommendation to avoid making this a "list of stubs", I'm including a link to a newly created category of real world stubs, all of which are in dire need of some additional NS based content. → Fris Θtalk 18:15, 15 Dec 2004 (GMT)
  • Shapur I of Parthia needs a gazillion dead links removed. I would do it myself, but I'm just about to head off to bed. Pacitalia :: 05:35, 27 May 2005 (GMT).
  • Republic seems to be copied word for word from the Wikipedia version, with no care or cause for the dead links it has thusly now created. (( Pacitalkia )) Time sent: 02:38, 19 February 2006 (GMT)
  • Intracircumcordei needs a lot of work, but the author seems to want to do a lot of it, so we'll watch the page and make sure he follows through. Otherwise, let the massive renovation begin on that sucker. (( Pacitalkia )) Time sent: 04:47, 19 February 2006 (GMT) ~~Did first round major overhaul of Intracircumcordei page. Changed it to Main page with summary and a number of smaller organizational changes. Still need to clean up 3 or so of the 'main catagory pages, legion paat and provincial'. Some pages still missing information and need some minor cleanups. Quite abit left to do though, I'll get around to it.Intracircumcordei
  • Battle of Marshbrooke - infobox fuckage means this is a complete mess, but it shouldn't be too hard to sort for someone who knows what's going on. ~Gruen2 10:21, 1 May 2006 (GMT)
  • Antarcticad - Is it simply a problem that Errinundera hasn't discovered capital letter technology for personal names? Willd early 10 June 2006
It's not that he hasn't discovered them. It's that personal names in Errinundera are not capitalised. As is indicated in the article you mention: "The title given to this article is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is antarcticad." I assume the cleanup notice is for the article's format, though. (P.S.: Please sign your comments.)Aridd 22:05, 9 June 2006 (GMT) Have completed a major re-write. Willd 16:06, aa June 2006 (GMT)
  • Comrade Martin - An article about a nation (seemingly), written as if it were about a character (or player?). Very messy all in all. Aridd 09:32, 11 June 2006 (GMT)
    • Seems like it's an article about Comrade Martin. The infobox just contains information about the nation he lives in. Kithicor 01:37, 6 January 2007 (GMT)
  • History of the Revolution - It's unclear what Revolution this is, who the characters are and where it takes places. Presumably the author intended for it to be accessed from another article, and did not consider that an encyclopedia article should be designed to be read on its own. Aridd 11:43, 12 July 2006 (GMT)
  • Chairman Uslav - could benefit from being made more readable. Aridd 00:28, 29 August 2006 (GMT)
  • Blood Street - a nation page, which needs rewriting from a third person/objective perspective. Aridd 13:58, 11 September 2006 (GMT)
  • Red Vikings - to be merged with content of Category:Red Vikings. ~Gruen2alk 14:52, 31 October 2006 (GMT)
  • List of countries by system of government - exclusively RL content at present. Aridd 19:32, 12 November 2006 (GMT)
  • Timeline (Havvy) is my article. If anybody who is good with wiki code and wants to make it a chart, can they please do so, so that it has Date, Event, and Link to Event (Which just needs to be 2 characters wide so it can fit external links) in it, I'll be happy. Also, if you just want to create one example on the discussion page, you may do that, and I'll try to work it in from there. Owner of the page, Havvy 03:05, 30 January 2007 (GMT)
  • Metal Storm Cannon, is using images that are copywritten material form the actual Metal Storm LTD website and affiliates. No credit is given no permission is cited.
  • Of the King over Desh - needs a clear introductory presentation of what the article is about. Aridd 17:41, 6 April 2007 (GMT)

Articles that may/may not need more cleanup

  • Saige Dragon - POV first-person account. Needs to be wikified and NPOVed. If that's possible. --Goobergunch|? 03:16, 7 Jan 2005 (GMT)
    • As I said in the talk page, it probably needs a complete rewrite or a plain old delete. I did the best I could with it in the circumstances but it's still a poor article. Pacitalia :: 03:23, 26 May 2005 (GMT)
