Wikipedia: Wikipedia utilities/Pages needing attention

Of course, every entry on Wikipedia deserves attention. But some entries deserve tender loving attention.

If you come across a page that you think needs a lot of work, but have no idea how to approach it, list it here so that others can find it.

This page is very similar to the other pages like: Requested articles, Current events. However it is more utilitarian than those pages, being intended for the editorial community alone.

Articles that have good information, but need work for some reason

Imprecise language - no longer in first person, but still needs work
Alchemy - a great article, but written in an academic essay style
poets - not only are the page titles messed up, very possibly the page itself should be redirected to [listing of poets]?
Black Sabbath - from the article: and someone else can write 1979 to date
Homosexuality - the anthropological stuff looks bogus, and what does it have to do with homosexuality? Are they not equally applicable to het relationships?
Military History - should probably be moved to Military history. Also this article is badly organized, but I don't know how to fix it.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode - this article is nearly ready but needs final editing and checking
Falklands War - light on detail, needs a better conclusion.
Wends- general re-write and information needs
Sigismund I Jagiello -- at present, this is just bad prosopography. Needs an infusion of context and coherence
Cracow - has a lot of good info, but also has some claims that fall outside the NPOV.
Symbionese Liberation Army - formation of group is there, and a link to Kathleen Soliah, but the middle is missing
[Articles from the 1911 Encyclopedia]
Irian Jaya - requires merging and NPOVing
Martin Luther King Jr. - much more needs to be written, in more depth
Holocene extinction event - more species are needed, and some help with NPOV, since I think the whole thing is tree-hugger bogosity
Religious aspects of marriage - Larry wanted this article, but I doubt he wanted it quite like this. (Not so bad now that the original has been replaced.)
Miyuki - may have violated copyright.
Balloon - could use some more examples.
Object Oriented Programming - this is kind of a mess. Titanic paragraphs need to be broken down into individual concepts. Needs more links to books and theory.

: I'm doing a major rewrite here, and should be done by Friday (12/21/2001). If anyone else has a change or suggestion during that time, please let me know. --LDC

PDP-11 - huh? this needs to be more easily understood
Hall and Woodhouse - what is this? a town?
Sugarhill Gang - needs reorganization
Kashmir - long on bathic emotion, short on facts

Articles that seem to be nothing more than definitions

Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and an article which simply defines a word is useless. Sometimes, those articles can turn into bona fide encyclopedic treatments of a topic; sometimes they should just be deleted.

Police -- David Ricardo
organization -- trade organization -- hierarchy member -- immediate superior -- immediate subordinate -- subordinate -- rooted hierarchy -- hierarchical tree structure -- rooted hierarchical tree structure -- containment hierarchy (See talk)
Elegy -- Dimeter (all single line definitions)

Articles of dubious merit, accuracy and/or validity

Corporatocracy
Masculism (NPOV problems) --
Zarnowiec - translation problems + soem doubts about legality (need comment from someone who knows law)
