Colin McCahon - This article about a New Zealand modern artist is a general mess, which I have been slowly trying to fix. Any assistance with fixing references and adding new sources would be appreciated. --

Investigative Project on Terrorism - needs major clean up provided it's salvageable. Contains inaccurate information cited from original sources, riddled with NOR and SYNTH violations, undue weighting, and irrelevant content. Failed to meet notability requirements for organizations.Atsme☯

Per
WP:BAREURLS, "Note that some citation styles, such as the MLA style, use full bibliographic citation that happen to display the text of the URL in addition to proper identifying information, like the author, date, and title of the publication. These are not considered bare URLs." As such, the bare urls are okay within this article. North America100018:15, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
Law of value - A subject of extreme
WP:OWN as shown by the talk page. One of the largest articles on Wikipedia and is likely filled with original research. It needs to be condensed, made understandable and neutral. --

Sensory overload - Long lists, little content. In addition, it looks like it could use some rearrangement, although I can't can't personally explain what exactly is off about it, simply that it looks off. --

Partly done: I cleaned up the refs, but I don't read Thai, so they may not be perfect. Copyedited quite a bit, but the article still needs work.

Update - I cleaned the history section up a bit grammatically, but it still could do with some sort of rewrite.

I suggest editors ignore this contentious and pointy request. The nominator has made these changes and been reverted. Instead they might sort out the nominator's many new stubs, which continue to use bare url references, despite him been requested not to do this many times.

Succinctly, the term shipping agent refers to the relationship between the principal, in this case is the shipping company conveying the goods and its representative whereby the principal will impliedly or expressly authorize the agent to work under his control and on his behalf...

Privacy-invasive software - Unfortunately I am not in a position to edit this article at this point because it has many problems. Several places adopt an editorial and non-encyclopedic tone, and at one point even shifts point of view to the first person plural, "We believe...". Do all editors believe that way? I am not sure I do. —

The Wonder Years - LOTS of unsourced material. The lede needs rewriting with preferably no sourcing. Needs to adhere more to MOS. More discussion of music and impact needed. Final episode/epilogue section needs to be chopped down considerably. More pictures would be nice. Basically, the whole article needs help!Twyfan714 (

4 O'Clock Club - this article is quite a mess. The characters are there but they need more information that actually tells you more about what they are about. It's difficult because it's not like there are a large amount of people out there who watch this particular programme and who can actually clean the article up. It just looks a lot like fan editing and it needs a clean up as it doesn't clearly dictate what happens in the series, exactly.Emirates123 (

Merlin Entertainments - I just fixed a few glaring syntax errors (like two headings not having the same number of equals signs (=) on both sides, and a few wiki-links with a similar problem of not having the same number of brackets on both sides), but I'm sure there are many more. Most of these errors are in the "Operations" section". Of course, that section also has no citations at all... --

I did a bunch of copyediting but I couldn't make any progress on the Polish references. I tagged it for 'no footnotes' and 'cleanup-translation'. I'm not sure what outpolishing is (maybe I did it?), so I didn't strike it out.

Jan Norberger - Can someone please review this for me so that the Clean-up / Neutral POV tag might be removed. I have received some feedback from other users and removed citations that linked to Mr Norberger's LinkedIn page, replacing them with verifiable neutral citations. I have also added additional verifiable citations for paragraphs that didn't have any prior to the tag appearing. Any assistance would be appreciated.MS Joondalup (

I removed the intricate detail and original research tags, after removing several sections entirely that were completely unsupported. (I left two sections marked with BLP sources-needed tags, because I felt the info in those sections was not contentious.) I replaced the single source that had gone dead-link with what seems to be the new url of the same article, and found a second source, albeit one of limited usefulness. Presumably I shouldn't strike out the text above here, since the article still has issues... —
