General

 * Article summaries/text problems (floweriness, waffle, not flowing well, nearly directly copying and pasting from source etc - some things along those lines seem to be a bit of a problem) (perhaps a bit of stiltedness in the case of some of my contributions)
 * User Profile - is description adequate in conveying the problem?
 * Long overdue replies - still OK to do so?
 * Are my work and conduct not as good as they should be? Possible ways to improve?
 * Concerns regarding a certain insidious encroachment, however can't put thoughts into words properly (will continue trying to do so, though time may be short) - also concerns about provoking it with the T. Guide
 * Discussion Subject: Articles & Excessiveness
 * True that some work needs to be done, however it shouldn't be rushed ahead with, otherwise an equally-as-bad mess will be created in place of the existing one. Mustn't be impatient.
 * Compose a list of articles that require work done to them and sort according to size/level of work needed etc?

Articles

 * Russian Shopping Centre - Confirm name
 * Golden-style Magic principles (on Golden Dawn, under Principles)
 * Academy City cooperative institution (as there are others besides the ones which formed the Science Guardians)
 * S? Liquid Metal Factory (there is a difference between translated versions - which is correct? Shinohara Liquid Material Factory)
 * Trivia page (Title unknown, Not certain if advisable) counting instances of certain recurring trivia within series (e.g. certain running gags and catchphrases, such as Sogebu, Fukou da!s, Kamijou punches, Index bites etc) (confirm name)
 * Kiya Shii - Gallery section out of Background?
 * Split page articles: Template with Top Navigation and Infobox in one, to minimize manual adjustment for all pages?
 * Check whether it is the case that no one else wishes to do the Merchandise pages.

Images

 * Haimura's artwork category doesn't follow the same naming pattern as the others (i.e. Family name first) - change?
 * FURs (Fair-Use Rationales) for Images (Is the lack of them a concern?)
 * Renaming certain images with better names
 * White Beetle - Haimura to Kiya
