Wikipedia talk:Cleanup sorting

Changing the cleanup tag?

I like what you have here so far. I find in working on cleanup articles that it is not always clear what should be done to cleanup an article. Sure, I can usually tell, but if I can't, I have to go to the talk page which may have no rationale or many possible rationales. For this reason, and to aid in the implementation of this project, I think that two changes should be made to the {{cleanup-date}} tag:

1. The tagger should be required to put a rationale onto the tag when they add it, similar to the proposed deletion rationales that currently exist.

2. There should be a message indicating that if an editor feels that an article has graduated to the {{expert}} stage, he or she should change the tag.

These changes would help to implement this policy and add some sense to the current vague system. --Danaman5 06:20, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
