==Articles to fix==
===Very minor wikignoming===
# [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinnytsia#cite_ref-11 Vinnytsia - broken link]
# [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Lights#Explanations Phoenix Lights#Explanations] Says ''43x magnification.'' - seems to be typo, source provided says 60x with no occurrence of number 43 in the story<ref>{{cite news |first= Tony |last= Ortega |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=The Great UFO Coverup |url=http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/1997-06-26/news/the-great-ufo-cover-up/ |work= |publisher=[[Phoenix New Times]] |date=1997-06-26 |accessdate=2008-03-15 }}</ref> and there is no discussion of this on the Wikipedia article talk page
# [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Madagascar_locust_infestation 2013 Madagscar locust infestation] - not updated since 2013 at the height of the swarm, add cite to FAO [http://www.fao.org/emergencies/crisis/madagascar-locust/intro/en/] and summary of response and outcome in 2014 and 2015.▼
# [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current#Advantages High-voltage direct current#Advantages] for "losses are about 3% per 1,000 km" 3% figure is no longer mentioend in the cited page, or its backup in archive.org[https://web.archive.org/web/20190402151837/https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/energy/high-voltage/high-voltage-direct-current-transmission-solutions/hvdc-classic.html] - need to replace with this cite:[https://iea-etsap.org/E-TechDS/PDF/E12_el-t&d_KV_Apr2014_GSOK.pdf]
# [[Wikipedia:Space_elevator_economics#Total_cost_of_a_privately_funded_Edwards'_Space_Elevator]] - says a total cost of $6 billion.

# [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Brain_Project Blue Brain Project] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Brain_Project Human Brain Project] Several years out of date. Mainly talks about their optimistic projections in the early days of the project. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Brain_Project Blue Brain Project] has a note asking editors to update it. I would post to the talk page saying that it would be good to add a summary of this article from Scientific American to the page, as they don't cite it and don't seem to be aware of it. It is a good review from 2015 about some of the problems that arose in the attempts to simulate an entire human brain as a neural net <ref>Theil, S., 2015. [https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-the-human-brain-project-went-wrong-and-how-to-fix-it/ Why the Human Brain Project Went Wrong—and How to Fix It]. Scientific American, 313(4), pp.36-42.</ref>.
# [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_of_thermohaline_circulation Shutdown of thermohaline circulation] Hasn't had significant updates since 2015 as far as I can see. Should for instance cover the two Nature studies described in this Carbon Brief summary <ref>[https://www.carbonbrief.org/atlantic-conveyor-belt-has-slowed-15-per-cent-since-mid-twentieth-century Atlantic ‘conveyor belt’ has slowed by 15% since mid-20th century] 11 April 2018 </ref>
▲# [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Madagascar_locust_infestation 2013 Madagscar locust infestation] - not updated since 2013 at the height of the swarm, add cite to FAO [http://www.fao.org/emergencies/crisis/madagascar-locust/intro/en/] and summary of response and outcome in 2014 and 2015.
