I also think it's a poor idea to list an article for cleanup - via any
method - without explaining what you think is wrong with it. In fact,
my biggest issue with the cleanup concept is that it encourages the
'someone else's problem' mentality, though it does help for when you
feel like a little Wiki-tidying and need some pointers for problem
areas.

I think they ought to go on articles, but with a higher threshold of
"suckiness". An article that needs a little work shouldn't go on
cleanup, by my understanding of its intent. An article that was
wholesale copy/pasted from a PD source with no wikification or rewriting
should get the tag, as should an article that appears to be completely
incoherent.
