There are several ways to find articles to work on:
Don't know which HTML tag is unwanted? Click the "Edit source" tab on the article page, and search (Ctrl+F in most web browsers) for the following. If you don't find any, feel free to remove the {{cleanup HTML}} tag.
Templates are preferred to HTML tags, preferably semantic tags, per MOS:DEVIATIONS.
Here's what to do about each:
<abbr> — Use {{abbr}}.<bdo> — Use {{rtl}}or{{ltr}}.<blockquote> — Prefer {{blockquote}}. See MOS:QUOTATIONS.</br> — Should be <br /> to be valid HTML. Any other variations like <br>, <br/>, and <br > can also be changed to <br /> so that syntax highlighting will work, but only do this if you are making other changes. If possible, use a blank line or list formatting instead. See Help:Line-break handling.<b> and <strong> — Use ''' instead, or remove bolding if MOS:BOLD says bolding isn't needed. In unusual cases, use {{strong}}.
<strong> is allowed.<center> — Use {{center}} for most text, otherwise see Wikipedia:HTML 5#center.<cite> — Use <ref> instead if this is defining a footnote, or perhaps a Wikipedia:Citation template if this trying to format the contents of a footnote. See Wikipedia:HTML5#cite for more on how to fix misuse.<dd>, <dt>, and <dl> — Convert to definition list following MOS:DLIST.<font> — Obsolete; see Wikipedia:HTML 5#font for cleanup instructions.<hr> and <hr /> — Use ---- or remove entirely.<i>or<em> — Use '' (for typography) or {{em}} (for emphasis where italics otherwise not required); be sure to follow MOS:ITALICS.
<em> is allowed.<li>, <ol>, and <ul> — Use "# " or "* " instead, or footnote syntax. <ol> is used legitimately with the "start" attribute to control numbering. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists.
<li>, <ol>, and <ul> is allowed.<name=> — Usually a broken <ref name=...><p> — Use a blank line or {{pb}} to separate paragraphs.<ruby>, <rt>, and <rp> — Templates are preferred for simplicity. See Help:HTML in wikitext#rp, rt, ruby for replacements.<table>, <tr>, <td>, <th>, <caption> — Convert to wiki syntax; see Help:Table.<tt> — Obsolete; use <code>, <kbd>, <samp>, <var>or{{mono}} instead, or even better {{code}}, {{kbd}}, {{samp}}, or {{var}}. See Wikipedia:HTML5#tt.<u> — Use {{underline}}.<var> — Use {{var}} for computer variables and {{mvar}} for math variables (which use a serif font).<wbr> — Rarely needed, but if necessary {{shy}} is preferred over this and ­. See Help:Line-break handling.See MOS:MARKUP for wikitext generally being preferred to HTML.
