January 2022

  Partly done Bare urls have been fixed. North America1000 08:13, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Sennheiser - COI editor had a field day with this article, still sounds excessively promotional after outright deletion of much of the cruft. Padgriffin Griffin's Nest 01:32, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Ben Spencer (politician) - Article looks to me to be quite clearly written by Spencer (uk politician) or a member of his team; two sections (political career and constituency priorities) are entirely unsourced and consist entirely of complimentary political talk. Entire article uses his first name. Even if it's not written by him the article definetely doesn't sound neutral so could do with a bit of cleanup in my opinion --SquidSquad77 (talk) 19:52, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
looking better now that one offending section has been removed but could still do with some work --SquidSquad77 (talk) 01:09, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
  Partly done Added some sources and removed some unsourced claims. Still needs more work. BruceThomson (talk) 06:13, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

February 2022

  Partly done I did some minor cleanup, removing a couple uncited sections without much value Helloimahumanbeing (talk) 16:55, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
  Comment: That article is an inappropriate synthesis of two different topics, and putting them together in one article is not just original research but a basic compare-and-contrast exercise that you would get from a college paper assignment. The hatnote at the top of the article is inaccurate because these two terms really are synonymous with negative liberties and positive liberties. I recommend complete deletion, and can start a nomination myself unless anyone here objects. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 00:51, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
  Note: request moved from Wikipedia talk:Cleanup. Bridget (talk) 21:45, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
  Partly done I did some minor cleanup. Cyrobyte (talk) 22:17, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
  Partly done I did some more minor cleanup, but there are still some issues with the article. Pianolettuce (talk) 1:04, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

  Partly done -- Mostly done, but there is still some specialized language that I don't know if it is correct. Pianolettuce(talk) 14:09, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

October 2022

  Comment: Article is in the process of being cleaned following a talk page help request. JRHorse (talk) 14:01, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
  Comment: The philanthropy section needs some cleanup now. The section still looks resume-like, poorly sourced and repetitive. JRHorse (talk) 22:50, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
  Done I just took a pass at it, I think it's pretty solidly cleaned up (aside from the need for more/better citations) Chiselinccc (talk) 07:50, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

November 2022

  Comment: Short description is acceptable per WP:SDLENGTH. However the {{About}} hatnote template was shortened considerably. — WILDSTARTALK 11:33, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

December 2022

  Partly done I've fixed some of the improperly formatted references with refill. TheManInTheBlackHat (talk) 22:08, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

  Note: The article appears to have been cleaned-up by Mccapra, who moved it back to main namespace. See the Revision history and diffs such as this and this for more information. North America1000 23:52, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
Yes I did. Let me know if more needs doing. Mccapra (talk) 23:57, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
  Comment:Article has been moved to Draft:2022 Glasgow City Council election. MarnetteD|Talk 20:32, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
  Done by Wikieditor019 using Reflinks. — WILDSTARTALK 14:06, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
Not done, since page still has some bare URLs. Tinton5 (talk) 19:41, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
  Comment: Tinton5, this was done until the page creator added more of them. Perhaps it may be too early to post a cleanup request for this new article. — WILDSTARTALK 20:01, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

  DoneLumonRedacts, I tried to find a balance between both enwiki's desktop and mobile sites by trying different things and ultimately by letting the lead wrap around the image. — WILDSTARTALK 20:41, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
@WildStar Super! Thanks for trying multiple things so I can study the diffs. Respect, Cleanup Crew! — LumonRedacts 03:56, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
  • City Loop -Grammar and punctuation in some sections (the ones with a clean up tag) NotOrrio (talk) 5:54, 5 Febuary 2023

  DoneWILDSTARTALK 15:18, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
  • The edits of Special:Contributions/SW9898 seem a bit unbalanced. I am not familiar with the subject (early sound recording), so it's harder to judge. I have tried to talk to SW9898 and failed, so I don't know if this is an undeclared COI or a strong interest or what. Review of these edits, especially by anyone with knowledge of the recording industry, would be welcome. HLHJ (talk) 23:41, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
It looks like they have added in the URL "moeb.ca" along with most of their additions. Bridget (talk) 00:23, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
  Done User:SW9898 seems to have been deleted, so finding the edits would, as far as I know, be impossible. ContributeToTheWiki (talk) 20:20, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

  Done But there is still cleanup required for the "encyclopaedic tone". Excellenc1 (talk) 14:14, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
Thank you. I'll poke at it a little, but I didn't want to break something and make it worse. :) LumonRedacts (talk) 00:13, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

  Partly done: Fixed the bare url. North America1000 21:44, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
  Done - Fixed the formatting/style issues. The article still has tags for notability and BLP sources, but that is a different discussion. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:37, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
  Comment: Could you please specify the problem in the article? TMTarantula (speak with me) (my legacy) 17:05, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
  Done - URL was placed within a citation inappopriately. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:59, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy - An anonymous user recently requested that this article be moved to the organization's new name: One Health Trust. I think that is a necessary move, but it would also require re-writing most of the article to indicate that its previous achievements were under its previous name, in an "artist formerly known as..." sort of way. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:09, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
    We can move it to a new title page, and then put up a template stating that parts of the article may use the name "CDDEP" and/or other sub derivatives until a proper cleanup is done. We can also ask fellow editors to contribute to the cleanup, if possible. Sugeeth Jayaraj (talk) 17:28, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
    It is also worth noting that the cleanup can happen in Phases, and not necessarily in one go.
    Nowadays we can use the Find feature in most browsers to find and replace text where necessary. Sugeeth Jayaraj (talk) 17:30, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
  Done - After some discussion among page movers, the decision was made to switch to the organization's new name and the article was updated accordingly. It's still rather messy with various edit tags, but those can be handled via normal editing. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 23:27, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
  Comment: Merpin, those are "general references" per WP:CITETYPE, which of course can also be supplemented with inline citations. — WILDSTARTALK 20:05, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
  Done - The community has worked on the article since the request, and the request itself indicated an issue that did not necessarily require cleanup. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:32, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
  Partly done Removed unnecessary bolding, but the article is too promotional in tone and excessive in information. Rosalina2427 (talk)
  Partly done The lead has been shortened. The article is still tagged for having a promotional tone. North America1000 09:31, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
