replies: text: I think "clean it up" is better wording and I don't see why "make it" would suit the template better.--NortyNort  (Holla) 01:47, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: To me, I think "make it" is better than "edit it", but "clean it up" does not convey the semantic as closely as "make it" does, as "clean" has a different connotation than edit.Bernolákovčina (talk) 04:45, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

text: Clean-up sounds better and it is a term used an various Wikipedia templates along with the "iconic broom". Clean-up, especially in Wiki-language, implies that there are issues with the article that need to be addressed and fixed or "made right". Overall, I think don't see a compelling reason to change it.--NortyNort  (Holla) 02:55, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

text: The template is called "Cleanup-list", not "Improve-list". So why not have the word "clean-up" in the text of the template? Debresser (talk) 12:01, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  FYI 

message: I found an article with a broken table (see Talk:List_of_airline_codes#Broken_table_of_codes) and went to find a cleanup template to add to the article accordingly, couldn't find one, and found this one that seems closest, but not quite right to indicate the problem on the article.
Before cloning this template and creating Template:Cleanup table (e.g. by changing "list" to "table" in the template visible text and linking to Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Tables), I figured I would ask here for other editors's opinions (having never created a Wikipedia template before).
Thoughts?
