Are there any severly poorly written Wiki pages you know of?

I'm bored, and want to do some editing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The Olympic soccer page was really badly written the last time I checked. I meant to go back and fix it, but completely forgot until I saw this thread. Feel free to fix it if it's still bad. It was only short too, so it shouldn't take too much effort.

That reminds me. I should go get a bunch of images for something.

I don't want to change a whole lot. After reading that Olympic Soccer one, though, I realized that there's some baaaaaaaad pages out there, lacking any kind of encyclopediac quality. Olympic Soccer moreso resembles a review. Other than stuff like that, I just want to clean up some grammar to make things seem more professional, and informative.

I also created the major page creation and fixing page, but all it has now is a question about the Lich King

I submitted a cleanup of that, consisting of removing the word "fun" from all of it, and deleting the second paragraph. Not a very admirable page.

The Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal page has numerous grammatical errors and reads like a review--actually, it is a review. It looks like the guy who wrote the review just copy/pasted it into the article and was done with it. That's a big no-no in my book. I was planning on fixing it eventually, but if you want to take a shot at it now be my guest.

The Mega Man page is surprisingly pretty poorly layed out and written for how popular the game is.

Somebody else will have to take care of Mega Man, though I definitely feel it should be revised. My experience with the game is minimal, and it should be a fairly detailed page.
