Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce/Bud Bagsak Massacre
it's a fairly widely known psychological effect, and the article should be less confusing, and with sources.

Some reference to the ensuing legal action, by parents, taken against the experimenter would be useful. This type of study would never make it past a present-day ethics commitee.
The Ottoman_Empire article is too long and disorganized. The length of the text confuses the reader and it is quite a burden on slower connections. Clean-up of useless or conflicting information is needed, and restructuring of chapters, re-paragraphing, the article needs attentions as it dropped from a "Good Article" nomination to "Clean-up needed". The users are very enthusiastic about the article and they have obviously contributed quite a lot, but often layout and guidelines are ignored. Sufitul 12:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
I would also like to note that much of the article is difficult to read because of grammar issues. Some contributors are obviously not native english speakers. This would not be a huge concern were it not for the dificulty it lends to understanding. Note particularly the paragraph on "Slavery". I have to call that one paragraph into question anyway, as it seems very like an apologist argument. worlebird 207.170.246.243 16:51, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Frankly, this article is in a terrible state. Partially due to the nature of the subject, I can find little reputable or verifiable information about this event. The Wikipedia articles for the Baroness and Rudolf give conflicting information and the external links are also contradictory. I've tried to fix some of the more glaring inaccuracies and take out some of the frankly sensationalistic tone. It mostly needs fact checking and hopefully some published sources to back soem of this stuff up. I know it's a lot to ask, but given that there is so much information out there, Wikipedia can at least be authoritatively ambigous. =) K erowyn 09:33, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Article that I have worked a lot on, but needs some touching up, and fixing in areas. Also I think that the reference system is out of date. .... 08:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
It has had 2 peerreviews and is on its second nomination for Featured article. Should review opinions and see if we can help it get to Teatured Article status.

Apparently this article has been recently cleaned up. Nevertheless I find it unbearable to have a sentence stating that after the Dorians crushed the Aegeans their surviving "racial elements" helped their culture to "blossom again" three centuries later. I could improve that phrase myself but I feel that I don't know enough about it. Also, reading such overcome racial value theories, the value of the whole article seems questionable to me and should be reviewed.

That the "Dorians" crushed the Mycenaeans is a theory that is rapidly falling out of favour among Greek Archaeologists. There is little to no evidence for the "Dorians" as an invading force, and they can only be speculated over. To see an article ascribing the fall of the Mycenaean civilisation to them as a certainty is quite worrying.

Both the articles General nature of the evidence of Aegean civilization and General features of Aegean civilization, awkward 1911 EB copies, need to be merged here and redirected. This, also from EB, needs a thourough copyedit and wikification. Plus more references. -- Dmcdevit 04:56, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
