There's something painfully ironic about the Cleanup-priority template. Its
text is ungrammatical and awkward:

"This topic is considered a necessary subject on Wikipedia, and there is a
high-priority on its being cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of
quality. See How to Edit and Style and How-to for help, or this article's
talk page."

"There is a high-priority"? Does *anyone* know the rules of English grammar
any more?

I don't even know where to start with improving it.

The whole idea of edit-comment templates is wrongheaded, anyway.

Is there some way to hide them? They're maddening.
