I don't have any proposed versions of these; they're just things that need work from someone, and I expect I'll be the one doing it. Feel free to be bold and/or add comments to my talk page.

[edit] Quick cleanups needed
[edit] Articles
- The Battle of Hatchie's Bridge was also called Metamora or Big Hatchie River, but disagrees on the state with Troop engagements of the American Civil War, 1862
- Computer Based Learning probably shouldn't be capitalized. Also, there seem to be related articles, variously capitalized and hyphenated, that overlap and need massive clean-up. I'm thinking of combining some of these into one or two articles and letting someone with more knowledge clean it up and resplit them with more reasonable names:
- Computer assisted instruction and its redirects Computer aided instruction, Computer-Assisted Instruction
- Computer-based training
- Online training (And what's the difference between that and Online learning?)
- more specific CBL topics which probably should stay in their own articles but should probably be linked to the stuff above somehow:
- Computer-assisted language learning
- Computer-adaptive test looks like it can probably stand alone without a merge.
- Collaborative Networked Learning needs major cleanup and wikification.
- E-learning and Online learning are about to be merged probably.
- Learning management system
- M-learning - learning by mobile devices.
- Networked learning
- Virtual learning environment
- Web-based training is a stub but with several links and see-alsos. It's part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternative education so maybe this grand merger should be announced there also.
- He Thinks He's Ray Stevens needs links and wording changed from the erroneous He Think's He's Ray Stevens.
- Category:Hijackings probably needs to exist and be populated with subcategories
- Santa Maria hijacking and related articles
- Henriques Galvao
- SoLant Amity
- Santa Maria hijacking and related articles
- Interstate 72/Interstate 172 could use some history. (See related Illinois State Route 336)
- Northern Department Store Group, sold to Bon-Ton by Saks Incorporated: all need to be cleaned up, have proper stub and category tags added, and have information about corporate mergers possibly consolidated into one article:
- Bergner's (downstate Illinois)
- Boston Store (Wisconsin)
- Carson Pirie Scott (Chicago area)
- Herberger's (Colorado to Wisconsin)
- Younkers (mostly Iowa/Wisconsin)
- Pentonville is both a city (Pentonville) and a prison (Pentonville (HM Prison)).
- Special:Whatlinkshere/Pentonville shows many pages that should be linked to the prison article rather then the city article.
- Many HM Prison articles are titled "HM Prison Xxx" rather than "Xxx (HM Prison)".
- Perhaps Pentonville should be disambiguation page or a redirect to Pentonville, London, England instead of vice versa.
- Rock Island Arsenal and Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois should be merged or cross-referenced. Possibly the same for other United States military bases that are also Census-designated places.
- Telecom Argentina (split from France Télécom)
- Edit Argentina communication articles (Communications in Argentina, etc.) to make sure they link to Telecom Argentina correctly
- WCC (radio station) and related articles
- Zzyzx, California articles
- Change indirect links in Special:Whatlinkshere/Mohave_tui_chub to Mohave tui chub.
- Add categories (see Lake Tunedae) to pages like Curtis Howe Springer, Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad, maybe Mohave tui chub
[edit] Peoria, Illinois area
See also: #Peoria/Bloomington broadcasters below
- "Peoria area" category to be added soon. There certainly seems to be enough stuff. Add/change category for articles that apply across counties; add/leave article in the appropriate county category if the article only applies to one city or county.
- County categories to add articles to, and to add to Peoria area category when created:
- Category:Peoria County, Illinois
- Category:Tazewell County, Illinois
- Category:Woodford County, Illinois
- probably Category:Fulton County, Illinois: Peoria's the only metro they're near
- maybe Category:Marshall County, Illinois: Does Lacon, Illinois associate more with Peoria or with La Salle, Illinois?
- maybe Category:Stark County, Illinois: Does Toulon, Illinois associate more with Peoria or with Galesburg, Illinois?
- Akron Township, Illinois just needs to be deleted. What the heck is that there for?
- Carver Arena but no Peoria Civic Center?
- Camryn Manheim is mispelled all over the place: "Camyrn Mannheim", "Camryn Mannheim", etc. Need to find and quash misspellings. She was born somewhere else, raised in Peoria until age 12, then moved to Long Beach, California.
- Caterpillar Inc. is still pretty rough after the overhauling and purging of Israeli-Palestinian conflict stuff.
- Ernst Ising was a famous mathematician that taught at Bradley University.
- Greater Peoria Regional Airport
- Marshall Thompson was apparently born in Peoria.
- National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research (USDA Northern Lab)
- Peoria Lake (which is not Upper Peoria Lake)
- Peoria Stadium could refer to Peoria Public Schools Stadium.
- Pimitoui or Pimiteoui, sometimes Pimetoui or Pimeteoui, is the name of both an Indian tribe and what is now Peoria Lake.
- Upper Peoria Lake (which is not Peoria Lake)
- Roads (see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Illinois_State_Routes for some state route pointers)
- Illinois Route 6
- Illinois Route 29 has no Adams/Washington switch.
- Illinois Route 40 has problems.
- Illinois Route 89 has an incomplete course description.
- Interstate 474 (Illinois)
- Peoria, Illinois bridges has the Shade-Lohman but not the Pekin/McNaughton, and probably isn't even the right title overall.
- Schools (All need the school template added.)
- List of school districts in Illinois misspelled "Heights". (See "Peoria Heights".) I wonder if that's misspelled across all similar lists.
- Metamora Township High School needs cleanup and wikification.
- Peoria High School probably needs to disambig into Peoria High School (Arizona) and Peoria High School (Illinois).
- Peoria High School (Illinois), oldest HS in Illinois
- Peoria Journal Star is still a stub
- Richwoods High School already exists but needs expansion.
- Are Manual High School or Woodruff High School signifigant enough for Wikipedia?
[edit] Peoria area railroads
- Recent railroads (last 50 years or so)
- Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway (fallen flag) was sold to Chicago and North Western Railway (C&NW).
- Peoria and Pekin Union Railway: it now leases all its property to the Tazewell and Peoria Railroad. (Image:1885 Chicago & Alton map only.jpg might be useful.) Does this count as active?
- Keokuk Junction Railway (KJRY) (active) [1] bought the Peoria area track from TP&W.
- Pioneer RailCorp is active; see [2].
- Pioneer Industrial Railway (PRY) (recent fallen flag, 2005)
- Toledo, Peoria and Western Railway (TP&W) is now a subsidiary of RailAmerica; article needs checked for copyvio, then wikified.
- Tazewell and Peoria Railroad (TZPR) (active) is owned by the Genesee & Wyoming
- Old railroads - see Illinois railroad map legend, Rock Island's Family Tree, Kellar Branch & Peoria RIRR history
- Chicago, Ottawa and Peoria Railway

[3] says: "The Rock Island & Peoria Railway ran between the towns of the same name from 1877 to 1903. It was nicknamed simply 'The Peoria Route.'"
- Terre Haute and Peoria Railroad (T H & P)
[edit] Spain
- Airports
- es:Aeropuerto de Murcia-San Javier could use some cleanup.
- Alicante Airport, also known as El Altet Airport, needs expansion and infobox.
- Murcia-San Javier Airport needs redirected links changed.
- Borbon and Borbón have been redirected to the disambig Bourbon, which needs Borbon and Borbón entried added to it.
- Cortes Generales (Spanish legislature) has no information about the operation of the Cortes itself, only a history through 1978
- Costa Calida - Looks like User:Jvmills got this! Just needs some wikification and cleanup and checking to make sure it's not copied from a copyrighted source.
- San Javier, Spain (the city) doesn't have an article. Maybe it's too small to be notable in English. Someone redirected it to Murcia-San Javier Airport instead.
- Segura (river) needs cleanup and expansion.
- Spanish government
- es:Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (LAE) is one of the oldest lotteries in the world. It doesn't have an article, but seems to have several links to it, including Spanish Lottery and Spanish National Lottery. Not sure what to call it in English - http://onlae.terra.es/lae/internacional/ingles_index.htm calls it by its literal name, "State Lotteries and Betting".
- SEPI is a substub. SEPI owns most of the Spanish government's companies. See http://www.sepi.es/default.aspx?cmd=0001&IdContainer=90&idLanguage=_EN for a full list. It owns 5.24% of Iberia Airlines, 5.52% of EADS, 20% of the Spanish electric network company REE, and nearly all of the following Spanish organizations:
- Category:Spanish phrases and Category:Spanish terms need to be populated.
- es:Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia doesn't have an English article.
- es:Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena doesn't have an English article, but I'm not sure it's that important in English.
[edit] Broadcasters
[edit] Peoria/Bloomington
Basically every article related to Peoria/Bloomington broadcasting is incomplete, including this list. City of license is given if not Peoria.
- List of radio stations in Illinois needs changes from the May 2006 AAA Entertainment->Regent Communications->Independence Media station sales.
- Categories:
- Category:Television stations in Peoria-Bloomington (pretty much done)
- Radio stations
- Category:Radio stations in the Peoria market is in the templates, but there are no station articles yet.
- Category:Radio stations in Bloomington, Illinois not made yet
- Category:Radio stations in LaSalle/Ottawa/Princeton not made yet
- Templates
- Template:Central IL TV
- Template:Peoria AM and Template:Peoria FM. Not sure why these are at the bottom of the TV articles now; maybe because there are no radio articles yet. On 2006-01-27, User:216.124.224.224 added a very broken list of Peoria/Bloomington radio stations to each Peoria/Bloomington TV article. I have no idea why. Anyway, they are now templates. There are few enough stations that perhaps they could be combined.
- TV (FCC TVq) will probably be my priority before radio
- Full-Power TV: WHOI (TV) (old WRAU-TV/maybe WIRL-TV/maybe WTVH), WEEK-TV (formerly just WEEK?), WMBD-TV, WYZZ-TV Bloomington (old WBLN), WTVP, WAOE
- Low-Power TV: W50DD (Trinity Broadcasting Network - Oh yay!), W51CT Bloomington (more of the same), W67CW (M.C. Productions, aka Murion C. Burse, 1101 S. Matthews, Peoria — see FCCInfo.com entry)
- AM (FCC AMq): WPEO, WVEL (AM) Pekin (old WSIV(AM)), WJBC Bloomington, WIRL (AM) (was WWFS for a while), WOAM (old second WTAZ/WXCL(AM)), WMBD (AM), WBYS (AM) Canton
- FM (FCC FMq)
- Commercial FM
- Peoria: WZPW (old WBGE), WPBG (old WMXP/first WKZW/WMBD-FM), WPMJ Chillicothe (old WCNL/WKSO/first WFXF/second WKZW/WRED/WQEZ), WGLO Pekin (old WSIV-FM), WWCT Farmington (old WXMP/WJPL), WFYR Elmwood, WPIA Eureka (old second WRVP/first WPPY/WEEK-FM/WIVR/WCRI), WIXO Bartonville, WVEL-FM Glasford (simul WVEL(AM) Pekin? old second WPPY/first WRVP/maybe WBDM at startup), WDQX Morton (old first WTAZ), WXCL Pekin (old WXCL-FM/WKQA), WXMP (old WWCT/maybe WOTF), WSWT, WCDD Canton (old WBYS-FM moved from 98.3)
- Bloomington: WIHN Normal, WBBE Heyworth (briefly WVWN at startup), WDQZ Lexington (simul WDQX Morton, old WCSO/maybe WMOS), WVMG Normal, WBNQ Bloomington, WBWN LeRoy (old WRXZ/maybe WMLA-FM)
- Noncommercial FM: WBNH Pekin, WGLT Normal, WCBU, WCIC Pekin
- Low-Power FM: WCUA-LP, WWKJ-LP, WEWT-LP Bloomington
- FM translators: Not sure if I even care
- Commercial FM
[edit] Other
- Category:Nexstar Broadcasting Group - Someone has copied a list of stations in artificially at the top of the category rather than just allowing normal Category links. The list also makes no distinction between stations that Nexstar owns and that Nexstar only manages. This artificial list needs to be moved or deleted.
- WMAQ (AM) is woefully underdocumented.
[edit] Ambiguous links
- WILL is a stub and could possibly be split to WILL (AM), WILL-FM, and WILL-TV, which all redirect to WILL now.
- Disambig/other meanings to fix: Wait, Week, WIRL, WLS
[edit] Questions
- In the decription of the Malecon in Murcia, what is the correct English word for "contention wall" (literal translation from Spanish)?
- Zzyzx Road seems to be the border of the Mojave National Preserve. Is the Zzyzx settlement itself actually in the Mojave National Preserve or just in the Mojave Desert?
[edit] Ambiguous names to relink
[edit] Redirected names to relink
[edit] Link spam to revert
These are users and sites that I've caught adding link spam to Wikipedia. Please help me wipe them out!
- dover-to-calais.com - first found at Carrefour; links to site front page (a generic-looking portal) with no context; their "site map" has lots of intentional misspellings for the search engines; they seem to have hit articles marginally related to Dover or Calais, like names of major chain stores.
