Pages that could use work:
I found this page by browsing through the Stub Improvement pages. In a former life I had a doctorate in film studies (well, still have it, but don't use it!). This page is a stub, and I could probably help to expand it. The page currently has "Plot, Cast, Reception, References, and External links sections, but some other common sections I've seen on other pages for films are: Themes, Production, Legacy, See also. I could add those sections and their content, and could augment the existing References (and would have to when adding content to other categories!) and the External links sections.
2. Sound effect
I found this page by looking through categories of the "All pages needing cleanup" on Wikipedia. The page is marked with warnings that it "contains instructions, advice, or how-to content" and "relies largely or entirely on a single source." For a page of this size, it does seem to have VERY few citations, and seems to rely heavily on one or two sources. I think the page needs to be fleshed out with more historical context and research, but it would be a considerable research and writing project.
I actually found this page because I was recalling some favorite old Czech movies and was suddenly curious whether a Wikipedia page existed for it. Lo and behold, it is a stub! This page only has Cast, References, and External Links sections, so it needs considerable fleshing out.
Starting to feel overwhelmed by pages that need considerable research and content improvement, I found this one by searching more narrowly in the "All articles needing copy edit" page. I may only have time to do copy editing before our course is over! From reading the Plot section, it seems like it could need a bit of a re-write to read as though it weren't being retold by a breathless 8-year-old. (I.e. cohesion, tone.)
This is another article that I found by browsing through the "All articles needing copy edit" page. The warning calls for attention to capitalization, markup, and standard English usage. The main thing that needs correction to my eye is over-use of the word "representative," and other repetitive phrasing.
