WikiProject Cleanup is a resource for Wikipedia cleanup information, to post cleanup requests, and discussion. This project covers cleanup issues including
page layout,
wikification,
spelling, grammar and typographical errors,
tone and source formatting. All users are welcome to help edit or fix any page on these lists.
This project does not accept requests to perform work regarding editing to address conflicts of interest, and does not accept requests for additional sources or citations to be added to articles. The project does accept requests to perform source formatting and cleanup of existing sources.
Please post article cleanup requests below this message, and sign your posts. Editors will clean up your submitted articles and may fix other issues associated with the article.
Please remove the appropriate tag(s) from the article after cleaning it, and then strike-through the entry on this page using <s> </s>, which produces: this; however, do not strike the user signature and timestamp. Please consider also documenting improvements on the article's talk page or in edit summaries for the benefit of other editors.
A page I created on
Noma Copley has been classified as a grade C article. It is not clear to me what I need to do to improve the classification. Any feedback on how to clean it up would be appreciated. I need to up my game for other posts I want to create.

According to the content assessment in the Military History WikiProject box on the
talk page, the article does not meet the referencing and citation criterion to reach
B class, which is:
The problem seems to be a lack of citations on claims such as Norma Rathner was the only child of Russian immigrants Bess (nee Waxman) and Harry Rathner and While in Hollywood she worked for the producer
Albert Lewin, and subsequently for
Walt Disney (not a comprehensive list). Also, the Giving to Get source doesn't seem to meet Wikipedia's
reliable sources guideline, as it appears
self-published. Finding sources is out of the scope of this WikiProject (see the header), but we could add some tags for
WikiProject Reliability to (eventually) get to. You yourself could also look for more and better sources.Hope this helps! —

Tu'i Pulotu - Fixes needed in tone, almost written like an explanatory essay. Fails to be an Wikipedia article at all, and needs to have more sources, as it only relies on one.

Geoff Ramsey - nearly every source fails
WP:RS and
WP:QUESTIONED. Anything citing Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, podcasts, the Rooster Teeth website, or primary sources should be removed.
Solar reforming - This is a article about a scientific topic and is written with appropriate clarity and references. However some clean up may be needed to improve the content according to Wiki standards Help is appreciated

8 Canada Square — I'm sure a few of the recent changes were done in good faith but overall the format just seems unacceptable now. One of the references is literally to a reddit post. I'm seeing if we can amend the page to meet wiki standards or just rollback the entire thing. -

I have been working on clearing out fostered content lint errors in the article namespace, and I've completed the majority of them. Looking for some help with completing the following, as I'm having trouble spotting the errors:
Carnival of Santiago de Cuba needs a rewrite for multiple issues, among which are remnants of past vandalism that slipped through multiple reversions. The lead section doesn't conform to standards, sources are given in publication-style instead of with references, there are too many quotations which are also overly long, and various other issues.

No cleanup reason specified in the tag nor on the talk page. Comments on the talk page are dated, and concern the status of the article and copyediting suggestions. North America100013:44, 31 August 2023 (UTC)reply
For older entries, please refer to the project's archives. Entries that have been resolved are eventually archived, as are those that are dated one year or older.
