There is something I do not understand.
Some editors are putting some "clean up" flag on some articles. The resulting information is ugly and defacing the article. There is no indication of why the article should be cleaned up, neither in the talk page, nor in the clean up page.
Ex : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flax or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat
I doubt not there is still work to do on the articles, just as on most articles. Why showing so much to our readers the imperfections ? What about not just putting per default this flag on ALL articles ? Why just not fixing the article you think is bad instead of mentionning so proeminently it is bad ?
How long will these flags stay up ?
Would it not be nicer to have a less visible mention on the article itself at least ? If putting the flag is necessary to mark them and have them listed for improvement, could it be made more discreet ?
