• To be manually checked, deleted or moved to article's talk page:

• Accession of Turkey to the European Union — Contains factual errors and dubious POV. Other editors' contributions appear to be consistently edited out by a single editor.

• Local government in the United States — Appears very poorly researched. For instance, special districts, the most common form of local government in the U.S., are not even mentioned. Also, the section on D.C. is riddled with errors, and the paragraph of Cold-War paranoia should just go. Doctor Whom 23:12, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

• United States Army and similar pages - No information about what soldiers do, how they are enlisted, the options of a soldier, and how they leave the army, perhaps a page is needed for life in the army, or soldier life.

• Postal savings systems--I saw a request for this and compiled a short article from the books I have and my personal knowledge, but this could benefit from others. E.g. details of UK privitization, other countries' systems. PedanticallySpeaking 16:36, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)

• Structure of the draft EU Constitution - needs expansion and proper capitalization. ··gracefool |☺ 00:59, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• Fiscal neutrality -- should be edited so as to balance the view of neoclassical economists (welfare trap and all that) with that of social-democrats David.Monniaux 09:50, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• Case mix -- seems to be an esoteric Medicare term -Smack 08:06, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)

• The people on List of Seigneurs of Sark are all sub-stubs. Maximus Rex 07:50, 14 Nov 2003 (UTC)

• Numerus clausus -- An incredibly one-sided article which suggests the concept petered out some time in the 1930s never to be revived again. Should be revised by a (former) student at a German university. --KF 20:47, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC)

• Politics of Algeria needs updating. Phrases such as "The next round of legislative elections are scheduled to take place in 2002" and "as of 31 December, 1990" make me cry. Quadell (talk) 16:14, May 27, 2004 (UTC)

• Sandro Pertini -- biography of an eminent Italian politician, does not only need wikification; should be checked, preferably by someone from Italy. --KF 01:23, 28 Dec 2003 (UTC)

• Subject-object problem - POV. Kingturtle 23:33, 19 Nov 2003 (UTC)

• Chief executive - A disambiguation page. I'm not sure if Head of government is the correct disambig. for non-CEO uses, though. School district is a particulary tricky case. I mostly just don't know such things. -Spikey 19:49, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)

• sovkhoz is barely a dicdef; it could use a good encyclopedia article from someone versed in Soviet economics. Alcarillo 20:24, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

• Senate Internal Security Subcommittee: I know nothing about this topic, but the current article seems likely to be wildly inaccurate even so. Bryan 01:44, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• Péter Medgyessy: POV; probably a disputed person on the long run. --195.56.230.102 22:23, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• Steven Reed - bio of the mayor of Harrisburg, PA. Looks more hagiography than biography to me, and somewhat wordy, to boot. --Calton 07:14, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Corruption in the EU - Created by an anon with an agenda. Full of POV from start to finish. The subject is certainly worthy of an article but this one needs a lot of work. Also various formating issues. — Trilobite (Talk) 20:06, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Has now been rewritten and POV removed.

• Brad Dye - Minor Mississippi politician, article currently sub-sub-sub-stub. -- Dcfleck 04:06, 2005 Apr 15 (UTC)

• Liquid democracy - Needs wikification, copyediting. -- Dcfleck 13:34, 2005 Apr 17 (UTC)

• Kanwen - needs lots of cleanup, near-borderline deletable in its present form. -- Dcfleck 02:21, 2005 Apr 20 (UTC)

• Currency Act - most of article is text of said Act. Text should probably be moved elsewhere, correct? And more encyclopedic information is needed. --Dcfleck 00:55, 2005 May 3 (UTC)

• George W. Bush's second term as President of the United States - completely abandoned --130.184.11.129 18:10, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

• Terrorism - Primarily focuses on foreign terrorism toward the U.S. Needs to be reworked entirely to focus on terrorism in general and focus on the difference between domestic and foreign terror. --Strothra 04:03, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
