- Eurocon seems to be WP:INDISCRIMINATE—it lists all awardees at all award events in tables. The content about the awards themselves is relatively small. —I'llbeyourbeach (talk) 06:20, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- Trans-Karakoram Tract - A region administered by China. It has a lot of mistakes and factual errors
and is in need of more citations and generally more reliable citations. Taimoorahmed11 (talk) 12:37, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: Struck part of the above, because this project no longer accepts requests for the addition of citations. North America 23:46, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux - 1960 ballet. Some sources are dead, and some content seems to be irrelevant. I'll work on the "notable performers" section at some point, maybe other parts of the article too. And if you're wondering the spelling of the title is intentional.Corachow (talk) 15:15, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
- Done replaced dead links, added more refs. Looks ok for now. Less Unless (talk) 05:39, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

- Victor Mbarika - an American professor. Flagged for COI. --Opeinioluwa101 (talk)
- Joanne Wilson - US venture investor. It is a properly stated WP:COI contribution. Here is an opinion from DGG: "I can't help thinking that the article is considerably excessive in view of the accomplishments. Perhaps it could be fixed by not including mere listings as awards, (and converting the table into a list--because of accessability problems tables as deprecated unless necessary), i moving those items in the bibliography that discuss her into references in the usual format, and possible decreasing the rather extreme number of references, too many of which are barely disguised PR, and from sources which are mainly devoted to publishing press releases" (expressed here). -- --Bbarmadillo (talk) 18:51, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Muslim Disability Awareness - please clean up errors— Preceding unsigned comment added by Masteryscholar (talk • contribs)- N Masteryscholar, I don't think there's much we can do for you. The draft is currently entirely in violation of Knowledge (XXG)'s verifiability policy (which all articles must adhere to), and it seems unlikely that MDA meets Knowledge (XXG)'s notability guideline for organisations - if it doesn't meet that guideline, the draft article will not be turned into an actual article.

Lost Tribe – the introduction and discography need major fixingLacon432 (talk) 21:07, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
- Note: - I started working on this and found that the article uses citations for two different bands of the same name. The one being discussed for real (the trance group) had just one minor release and little coverage. I have nominated them for deletion or redirect to the frontman. See Knowledge (XXG):Articles for deletion/Lost Tribe. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:19, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

- Partly done - Condensed plot Jennablurrs7575 (talk) 20:49, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
- Done - I think this is done; long plot template has been removed and style changes were both made through edits of many users. I don't think the other parts of the request can be done with the existing sources, and they are unfortunately out of the scope of the WikiProject. Aranya (talk) 20:15, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Comment: Article is extremely overlinked. To assist in the duplicate link cleanup, you can use this tool.— WILDSTAR 17:41, 18 August 2021 (UTC)- Fixed - The notice in the article was placed two months ago and if there were many bare URLs then, it looks like the community fixed most of them. I found only one remaining and fixed it myself, so as of right now there are no more bare URLs in the article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:24, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- I originally said "Done" above and other people have changed my comment to "Partly Done" and then "Fixed" because of the change in topic. That's inefficient and it also enables other people to speak with my voice. The answer here is to close the first request about bare URL's, which I really did fix. I will start a new entry on the over-linking problem (see above) and someone can fix it and say they did so with their own voice. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:57, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Diablada, Diablada (Bolivia) - music genre infobox should not be used, as both of them are not a musical genres, but a masked dances, whose music uses other musical genres.Solidest (talk) 17:41, 21 June 2021 (UTC)- Note: - I wonder if it necessary to have a separate article for Bolivia's version (Diablada (Bolivia)), because that country is mentioned extensively in the original Diablada article. Perhaps a merge? An attempt to transform the specific Bolivia article to a music genre beyond the dance seems half-hearted to me. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:32, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- No, I'm unfortunately not familiar enough with them. I work with infoboxes of musical genres, and a cursory checkup of the sources only found out that the term denotes dance and does not refer to a particular musical style. There's also History of the Diablada tho, which was already nominated to merge once Talk:Diablada#Merge Solidest (talk) 16:33, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

- Comment: with a ping to @Solidest:. Except for minor attempts to include music genre terminology, the two articles at Diablada and Diablada (Bolivia) are nearly identical, while History of the Diablada repeats info from both as well. I have initiated the merger proposal process for at least two of them at Talk:Diablada#Merger proposal. If nobody responds for a few weeks I can then do the merge myself, but if anyone resists we may need tough discussions on why duplicate info is inefficient. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:49, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- Done See the discussion at Talk:Diablada#Merger proposal, where we ended up with support for merging an absolute mess of six different articles into the main Diablada. The original request about music infoboxes has resulted in an extensive cleanup and massive merge process. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 20:23, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

- Comment: - There is an exact copy of this article at: ; not sure which site copied which. I have been around WP for a long time and have never seen a more preposterous candidate for the WP:TNT process. It looks like a direct copy of a high school student's research paper. I suppose Ms. Landmann is eligible for an article because she has been covered by biographers, but this travesty needs to be reduced by 99%. I could help as part of a team effort but it may be an uphill battle if we get reverted by the article's fans. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:28, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Doomsdayer520: from the bottom of the page you linked: "
Kiddle encyclopedia articles are based on selected content and facts from Knowledge (XXG), edited or rewritten for children.
" The website seems to have copied their article from here, but they seem to be following Knowledge (XXG)'s licensing terms judging by the attribution statement at the bottom. Definitely agree that our article needs an extensive rewrite though. Aranya (talk) 02:58, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Doomsdayer520: from the bottom of the page you linked: "
- Done, except for an issue with converting references to footnotes. I reduced the article to basic biographical facts, which made it probably 80% shorter. Most of it was about the general history of her religious group and deemed irrelevant for this one person's specific biography.

Drako Motors - Manufacturer of electric sports cars. Reads entirely as an advertisement, and I feel that a lot of this article is impressive-sounding statistics that don't really mean anything, but I don't know anything about cars. Needs copyediting, and citations need re-formatting to have further information.Waxworker (talk) 08:40, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- Partly done - reworded the lead and replaced and removed unnecessary sources. Not too comfortable working in this topic area, so I've added a new advert tag due to the excessive detail on their main product. Aranya (talk) 15:54, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Chevrolet Vega – Several references with missing or empty titles.— WILDSTAR 17:13, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- @WildStar: Those are all citations from 20-50 year old print magazines. I'm not sure they're available online (to get a title). We could, however, change the format of the citation so that the 'red font' in the references section goes away. Let me know if you think that would help, and I'll do that for you. Platonk (talk) 15:24, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Platonk, since all of those CS1 style references fail to provide the needed bibliographic data (title), I believe it would be acceptable to improve them per WP:CITEVAR, retaining as much (if not all) of the information already there.

Oxford English Dictionary - Many citations appear broken (e.g. :xx). These may be referring to a specific page of the cited resource, and should be moved to into the citation as per WP:CITE. Also, any of the revisions of the OED mentioned in the text contain question marks (e.g. ?th impression). I don't have easy access to the find the correct revision numbers.aaPle (talk) 03:04, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- Done – Struck the above at this time. I fixed the last two instances of bare urls used as sources for notes in the article (diff, diff), and the (e.g. ?th impression) matter would require edits that may require significant research, which is not under the particular purview of this project; this latter aspect may be better addressed by posting a request at the Guild of Copy Editors' Requests page.

- @WildStar and Less Unless: I went ahead and really boldly reverted the Biography section to an older version because of concerns with prose and sourcing.
