Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Badwords cleanup

This page describes how we check "bad words" found by Wizzy's script in the Version 0.7 collection. The list is available for download as a gzipped version, and a zipped version.

Method used

Check through the section of the list that you've signed up for, one line at a time. Have WP open in a second browser window, and have this page in a third browser window. Speed is of the essence - we have a lot of words to check, and most vandalism will be fairly easy to spot. It is understood that we may miss the odd piece of vandalism, that is inevitable.

Each line contains a flagged word placed in context, followed by the article name. Some flagged words may seem strange, but bear in mind this was taken from a list developed from years of vandal-fighting!

• Look at the immediate context for the "bad word" - does it look reasonable, bearing in mind the article topic?
• If it seems reasonable, quickly move on to the next line.
• If it looks wrong, see if it shows up on the list of revised versions, and check the article on kiwix. I use the "Edit-Find (CTRL-F) command within Firefox to find the word quickly. If you look on the live Wikipedia, look at a version from around December 4th, 2008. If it looks like real vandalism, list it below, and correct WP if necessary.

Listing of vandalism found

Add a #, then copy the entire line from Wizzy's list below. These instances of vandalism will be corrected manually on the Version 0.7 dump on kiwix, for example at [[1]]. If you correct the kiwix page, please make sure you create an account first, and write FIXED next to the entry.

Controversial and dubious content

1. Cahal Daly: This edit removed a sex abuse scandal section, since it is BLP/unsourced. The subject is only tangentially involved in that topic anyway, IMHO, so I think we should remove that section. Walkerma (talk) 04:25, 14 April 2009 (UTC) FIXED
2. Cary Grant: The "gay" section seems full of rumour and speculation, albeit with sources; this has been trimmed a lot in the current version. Should we do the same? Walkerma (talk) 05:04, 14 April 2009 (UTC) FIXED
3. Cocoa Beach, Florida - some "urban myth" about a porn star not being born there, not in the current version, I just removed it. Walkerma (talk) 05:28, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
4. Eric Cartman - article about a racist cartoon character, and it is clearly a vandalized version. However, most of the article seems to have been written by children, with extremely poor English which borders on the offensive in places. I propose we simply remove this article from the collection. The current version looks MUCH better at a quick glance, and I expect that it could make it into Version 0.8. Walkerma (talk) 03:48, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
5. Fairy tale I removed a speculative section from the lead. Walkerma (talk) 07:51, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
6. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Some "opinion" with sexual overtones, not in the current (GA) version, so I replaced the 2 paragraphs with the current content.
7. Hotel Rwanda: Someone had added the complete script in the version we had, but it was removed shortly afterwards. I simply removed it.
8. Imran Khan: Removed unsubstantiated claim about his penis.
9. Indie rock: Removed shoutout added here.
10. Industrial and organizational psychology: Removed a lengthy, badly written section all about one proponent - this was also removed from the online version a few days later.
11. Jack Nicholson Removed some salacious material about 2000 sex partners etc, not present in current version.
12. Jane Goodall Removed some pointless trivia.
13. Jean Cocteau Removed dubious sentence about his orgasms.
14. Jeb Bush Removed salacious content about his son which is uncited, and omitted from current version.
15. Jerome Removed mention on "gay activities" not in current version - replaced with current paragraph.
16. Jersey City: Removed pop culture section referring to "ugly city".
17. Karaite Judaism: Removed possibly dubious section about "breaking down "be'ra'shit" to "beit" "ra'shit" - replaced with current version.
18. Kiss (band) Removed short trivia section absent from current version.
19. Limp Bizkit Removed lengthy details about upcoming album (fancruft).
20. Lucerne Removed unencyclopedic sentence, "or reproduction, if you're a cynic...".
21. Manhattan Beach, California Removed lengthy trivia, absent from current version.
22. Marcel Duchamp Removed unimportant piece about "shit", missing from current version.
23. Mary Poppins (film) Removed pop culture section - full of trivia.
24. Methaqualone Removed unsourced pop culture section, missing from current version.
25. Michael Collins (astronaut) Removed unreferenced slur/profanity missing from current version.
26. Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq Removed polemical sentence, missing from current version.
27. Oliver Stone Removed dubious sentence about getting "horny", missing from current version.
28. Pangasinan language Removed the polemical section "Related Derogatory Terms for the Language and People of Pangasinan" (absent in current version).
29. Penélope Cruz Removed one sentence of unsourced gossip, missing from current version.
30. Poison (band) "Early years" section looked corrupted and included lawsuit absent from current version - replaced with current version.
31. Rabies Removed dubious unsourced sentence, missing from current version.
32. Rajput I propose removing this article completely - it's a huge mess.
33. Rani Mukerji Removed rumour, absent from current version.
34. San Quentin State Prison Removed dubious, badly-written section about OJ Simpson, missing from current version.
35. Sanitation Removed silly quote, absent from current version
36. Scrabble Removed extensive trivia section, absent in current version
37. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Removed an unsourced paragraph, absent in current version
38. Trent Lott Removed juicy but dubious gossip, absent in current version
39. Visakhapatnam I greatly trimmed back the lengthy & hyperbolic description of the tourist attractions
40. Václav Klaus The version we have is full of a biased POV, much of which was tagged or removed later, as well as the typo "pubic demonstrations". Let's use this version instead.
