How to use:
+
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.

<nowiki>{{Delete|Reason}}</nowiki>

==Alternative==
</noinclude>
+
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.
