I cleaned up [this article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois_Executive_Mansion) that was tagged for cleanup at wikipedia. I don’t know how to de-list it for cleanup, and I don’t know how to properly cite my source (the link toward the bottom of the page).

Can someone plese teach me how to do this 🙂 or, better yet, do it for me 😃 ?

Thanks.

To remove a tag, all you need to do is edit the article. You’ll see something like {{tagname}} in the article. That’s the template for the tag. Just delete that and the tag is gone.
