<!--<big>'''Note: this generic template should only be used when a [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup|more specific tag]] is not suitable.'''</big>--><!-- Um - the "more specific tag"s don't exist yet, so I'm just temporarily pulling this off the page.--><br />
<br />
==Placement==<br />
For articles needing major clean-up, place at the top of the main page to alert readers.<br><br />
For articles needing minor clean-up, place at the top of the talk page to alert editors.<br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
You can optionally use the first parameter to change the word "article" (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{Cleanup|section}}</nowiki></code>).<br />
<br />
Add a new item to the talk page explaining the type and extent of clean-up required so editors will know what to address, and when to remove this tag.<br />
<br />
==Alternative==<br />
If the problem is correctable with the skills you already possess, consider being [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_bold bold] and fixing it yourself, rather than applying this tag and leaving it for someone else to clean up.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
