Tatar confederation - same statements (e.g. "From the 10th to 13th centuries, Shatuo Turks joined Tatar confederation and became known as White Tatars branch of the Tatars.") repeated in multiple sections (e.g. in both "Name and origin" and "History") even though the article is relatively short.

Partly done: Most problems fixed, but needs to have more sources added. A good source list is on the talk page.

British Overseas Territories citizen - A lot of content has been introduced into the article which is not
WP:POV. A lot of sections may not be relevant to BOTCs, or even off-topic. I propose the moderators remove non-POV passages, then check the passages in boxes, until the community have had a chance to discuss them. They look like they’ve been copied across from other British and Irish nationality articles. (

Just to add to my earlier comment, it’s worth remembering that most
British Overseas Territories are located in the Caribbean islands, and are much smaller than other former
British colonies, which is why they haven’t become independent yet. There’s not much commonality between them and other colonies e.g. in Africa. So any passages relating to Ireland/Kenya/Uganda/India are simply not relevant. The
Commonwealth Immigrants Act 1962 is only loosely relevant: whilst it did lay down conditions on people from the territories entering the UK, it was not specifically aimed at them. (

All the articles tagged for cleanup in April 2010 have been resolved, yay! Based on how quickly folks took care of those (many just needed the tag removed), I think we could probably accelerate resolution of end-of-queue articles from the current speed (about one month per year) to one month per month, which would mean the backlog wait time would stop growing. In that spirit, here are all the remaining articles that were tagged in May 2010:
The reason provided in the cleanup template is "The classification of the steels may be arbitrary and inconsistent." However, this would likely require extensive research, which is outside of the scope of this project.
WP:GOCER is a better candidate for this type of request. I changed the template to a {{Copy edit}} one. North America100014:59, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
Partly done I added tables for the "Television series guest-starring roles" and "Voice work sections". Didn't have enough information to make a table for "Television Commercials" though.

I guess I have partially fixed it. I am not able to create citations or verify the other bare references on that article

Struck this entry. The article was retained per its
AfD discussion, and the article has received significant editing that appears to have addressed the cleanup matter presented here. North America100014:58, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Striking this entry at this time. I removed some unnecessary white space from the talk page to make it neater, but that's about all that can really be done relative to the purview of this project. North America100009:58, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Struck the above. In comparing revisions between the time this was posted and now, it appears that this has since been addressed by users such as

Recognition of same-sex unions in India needs a rewrite for multiple issues, some of which I have raised in the
talk page, along with sources and explanations. Some of the issues are as follows:
Factual accuracy: For instance, the article inaccurately presents every same-sex wedding ceremony as common-law marriage. This is false, because "common-law marriage" is applicable only to those qualified to enter into a legal marriage and presently, same-sex couples are not qualified to enter into a legal marriage.
Neutrality: For instance, the article extensively discusses every protection order and habeas corpus case ruled in favour of the same-sex couple, contributing to the depth of detail and the quantity of text leading to undue weight.
Relevance of content: For instance, the article discusses almost every same-sex wedding ceremony reported in the news, which is neither legally recognised nor a party to the ongoing same-sex marriage case.

Wiki6995 and
Moonlight2006: Striking this entry at this time. This is a complex case, and the amount of research required to address the matter, along with reaching a consensus about the article's content on the article's
Talk page, where extensive discussion has occurred essentially, places this matter outside of the purview of this project. Please consider posting this at
WP:GOCER if you'd like, which is focused upon addressing more complex and extensive copy editing matters such as this. North America100016:01, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Comment: – Struck. The article has received numerous edits after the above post was created, and it presently has no cleanup tags on it. As such, it seems to not have numerous issues at this time. North America100011:46, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Partly done - tables are now sorted by year, but I was unable to find actual dates for most so I have not sorted within each year at all.

Comment: Striking at this time. The dates are now in order, and in my view it's optional to create subsections in the table to then sort entries by each year. North America100014:55, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Uma Preman. I disclosed payment in return of writing this article, so there is a tag asking for POV cleanup. I do not see much room for that, but would appreciate your help revising the article.Sabih omar07:54, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
