Below are some fine examples of what exactly we do.

I just completed cleanup of Talk:Longview, Texas, which was tagged with {{Tpcleanup}}, and wanted to share some of the issues I found:

  1. {{Talk header}} was present on the talk page despite the absence of "frequent or perpetual debate [... or] controversy";
  2. Two topics were missing section headings;
  3. Two comments were unsigned and undated;
  4. Several comments lacked proper indentation;
  5. Two IP signatures pointed to a red link IP user page;
  6. Excessive whitespace in some sections;
  7. Excessive unnecessary capitalization of section headings; and
  8. The content of a user's comment was changed by another editor on three occasions: [1][2][3]. I reverted the first and third, but left the second in order to avoid inserting a possible BLP error.

I know, of course, that these issues may not be present on other talk pages, but this example suggests that the list on the project page is quite comprehensive. Also, I was surprised that a page with only about 30 revisions contained three instances of a user modifying the content of another's comment. -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:46, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
