Thanks David!

Yes, I finally figured the banner out. 

To clarify for the Beginners 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners&lang=en  page - I should remove it 
and leave it's child pages? 

Any time to post is okay with me. Between Christmas and New Year's is fine.

Best wishes,
Leigh

You achieve the same purpose with the banner on the bottom of each page, Leigh.
The link was replaced by the banner merely for consistency and aesthetic 
reasons.

Anyway, here's what I found.

OUTDATED PAGES
BitTorrent https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitTorrent  (last edited

Brasero  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Brasero  (last edited 2008-10-12 )

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.

Actually there haven't been a decision on the new tags yet by the documentation 
team, so I don't think it is wise to used them for now.

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 .

+1 on that.

My two questions then are
1 - what do we want to do about Beginners 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners&lang=en  ?

IMO, it's a candidate for removal from NewDocs as most of the links listed on 
it are one way or the other already listed in NewDocs.

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).

Maybe in the period between Christmas and New Year. What do you think?

Cheers,
 David Pires
