Tag:Completed Cleanup Jobs Archive Page 4
From dKosopedia
Please do not use this page for the time being! The rules for editing tags on Daily Kos were changed today by the site administrators, and following the instructions below the line is no longer safe!
This is, in any event, an Archive page, and is left up for historical purposes only. Do not click on any links, or if you do, do not fix any tags in the diaries displayed.
Thank you very much for your assistance in aiding the DailyKos Tag Cleanup Project; we will let you know when or if editing "bad tags" is once again allowed, or when we have redesigned this page so that only those tags that are safe to change are listed below. — Sardonyx 21:11, 12 September 2007 (PDT)
Keeping Completed Tag CleanUp Jobs archived here in their original form so we can recheck from time to time to see the original tag jobs and the instructions provided. This will help to make sure the bad tags don't creep back in.
Important Note: this is now the fourth Archive page of old cleanup jobs, and is being kept for reference purposes. New jobs should be added at the bottom of the page, in the order they were completed (not order in which they were created or any other order). Be sure to add the basic tag conversion information on the Tag:cleanup jobs completed page at the same time you add the newly archived job here. — Sardonyx 11:50, 20 July 2007 (PDT)

Political labels
It is impossible to distinguish in tagging between political labels meant as adjectives and as singular nouns: "liberal", "conservative", "moderate", etc. The adjectival form makes no sense as a tag, though it's frequently used that way. Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to check each of these tags and determine whether to remove it or to convert it to the plural noun form as specified below.
