Articles that need an extensive cleanup should be placed here. See Wikipedia:Cleanup for more information.

Basically, if the article isn't quite a stub, but it is in need of more content, a re-wording, or even just a structural adjustment, it should be placed here. Those FIRSTwikians who prefer to be editors can then go through this list and make their contributions to those pages that are most in need of help. This should not be a list of stubs. See also, What to contribute.

Note that articles in the general namespace should be put here, not meta pages.

• Designing a team webpage needs to be merged with Designing a FIRST webpage, content cleaned up and re-structured, etc. (see entry for June 26)
• Creating a Forum does not follow naming convention, tutorial for specific board is inappropriate, maybe detail several options availalbe (and don't forget Yahoo! groups), and link to other tutorials if necessary (see talk page too)

June 28

• Team organization structure, organized into headings, formatting issues (bold title, headers, fix link, etc.), maybe explain general team organization and have separate pages for certain specific teams, e.g., Team organization (128)
  • began rewrite. I think the option for a team organization page should be included in FIRSTwiki:team page format. Sorta unrelated, but maybe the name scheme for team pages should be something like "<team number> thing" because the team is the primary index, no the fact that it is a "thing" page. So in this case, 128 Team organization. --Max 15:13, 30 Jun 2004 (EDT)
  • I disagree. If some hypothetical user is looking up team organization, references to how other teams do it is more than appropriate and very relevent. However, if the same hypothetical user is looking up team XXXX, how they organize their team is typically only of minor relevance. Also, the "group" of team organization pages are more related to each other in that they are about organization than that they are about a certain team number, hence the greater binding relation should take precedence. --Mrawls 15:21, 30 Jun 2004 (EDT)

June 27

• Championship Event (1993) dead end page, needs links describing game, a comment on where the championship occurred would be in order to, plus links to history
• Championship Event (1992) good intro, but needs links to year's game, history plus cleanup on form
• Creating a non-profit organization dead end page, explain benefits of non-profit status, better description, general cleanup
• College student separate list from actual content (see discussion page), refer to team structure below
• Fantasy FIRST history, explain structure, reason of game, list of winners better put on Fantasy FIRST 2004 winners or some such
• Qualifying for championship event explain history, current system (new), general cleanup
• Ohm's Law make FIRST-related, or probably should dump, if kept, cleanup/organization, link to electronic stuff where it is useful
• Torque as per above
• Physics as per above, make FIRST-related, cleanup structure, needs content (refer to external sites where appropriate)

June 26

• Lego Mindstorms needs intro, relevance explained, total overhaul (e.g., "LEGO's robotics stuff")
• Designing a team webpage needs intro, relevance explained, link to award, external links to webpage design, better written/organized
• Organizations likely to sponsor teams see its talk page
• Using CSS relevance explained, short intro and link to external sources (total overhaul, or just dump the page)
• Kit of parts needs re-structuring, content
• Using MPLAB right now just lists menus, ... needs to be made useful (maybe walkthrough of several basic tasks, e.g., building a projct)
• Regional Chairman's Award make intro a paragraph, not just a list, re-structure list, explain history, etc.
• MCC18 list of installed directories probably not too useful; needs inro, explanation of relevance, links to MPLAB, etc.

Structure Extensive work on the following articles are needed. They are grouped together because they are related, and the articles need to express this. On most articles, an entire overhaul is needed.

Team structure

• FIRST_Robotics_Team, Team organization
  • Student (see too Students), Mentor, Teacher, Community

Competition structure

• Competitions, Regional, Championship event, Index of Regionals
  • Qualification match, Elimination match, Alliance (see too Tournament alliance, Match alliance), Seed

June 23

• Regional needs introduction, needs to be general (structure should be sub-section, not whole article), needs more content, etc.

June 19

• Scouting needs to be organized into sections, content expanded and cleaned up in general

June 16

• Awards each award article needs to be re-written (copyright vio), list of current year's winners might be approrpiate too

June 15

• Programming the Robot Controller currently unfinished (follows IFI doc, should be straightforward)

• Tournament alliance lots of postfixed links -- parts of words are links, but the endings aren't

• Victor 884 needs restructuring, rewording, wiki links need working ... major job

• FIRST humor needs introduction, content ... relevance? (note to potential editor: sense of humor important)

• Fundraising needs more information, stronger tie to FIRST and mention of student/community participation might be in order; mention its importance, etc.

June 9

• List of data types section on Floating point numbers needs help, nothing on strings or structures, or pointers or void, etc., needs intro and wikification
