I've just started checking the links on the B page. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/B&lang=en  In all the lovely changes we've lost the "Back to NewDocs" link. Could we pretty please have it back?

Anyway, here's what I found.

OUTDATED PAGES
BitTorrent https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitTorrent  (last edited 2008-10-12)
Brasero  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Brasero  (last edited 2008-10-12 )
BootFromCD https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD  (last edited 2011-08-26 )
BootFromUSB/PageDiscussion https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB/PageDiscussion  (last edited 2010-09-29)
BackupYourSystem/SimpleBackupSuite https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/SimpleBackupSuite  (last edited 2011-06-15) also contains cautionary note (should be tagged, but I wasn't sure with which tag)
Beginners  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners (last edited 2008-12-13)

There is another question about Beginners https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners&lang=en , however, it is an index.
It has three child pages also listed on NewDocs which can be removed
Beginners / Bash Scripting, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/BashScripting&lang=en 
Beginners / Guide / Terms https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Glossary&lang=en 
Beginners Team https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam&lang=en  (which we may want to keep anyway)

but there may be other problems with it. For example #13 Beginners / Guide / Terms https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Glossary&lang=en  has an alternate #15 Glossary. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Glossary?highlight=%28Beginners%2F%29&lang=en  Both link to the same page.

Besides the subpages of I mentioned above, there are a number of child pages that can be removed since we already have the parent page listed.

SimpleBackupSuite https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/SimpleBackupSuite  (last edited 2011-06-15) 
BackupYourSystem/Tar https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR 
Bacula https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bacula 
Are all child pages of BackupYour System https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem  and can be removed.

BinaryDriverHowto/Sis https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Sis 
BinaryDriverHowto/ATI https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI 
BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia 
are all child pages of BinaryDriverHowto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/  and can be removed. BinaryDriverHowto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/  is also tagged as a duplicate but I don't know of what.

TAGGED PAGES (all tagged 'content cleanup required')
BIND9ServerHowto  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto 
BluetootSetup  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup 

And here's a candidate for one of the newly suggested tags.
BuildnewestversionofBluefishforUbuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community  - last release was tested was Ubuntu 12.04.

Unless someone thinks otherwise, I'll remove the child pages, and move the outdated and tagged pages to their appropriate areas in ToBeReviewed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ToBeReviewed&lang=en .

My two questions then are
1 - what do we want to do about Beginners https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners&lang=en  ?
2 - when should I do the update on the forum wiki discussion thread. The last I recall, Geoff has a post upcoming on Dec 15. Is that correct? When do you want me to post this? (I'll make adjustments to page numbers when I do the post).

Best wishes,
Leigh
