<p>Some questions are completely unclear and it's fairly obvious that they need to be closed.</p>

<p>But I've seen some votes to close as unclear that could really use an explanation - and sometimes the person voting to close does provide one, but sometimes not. </p>

<p>I think it would be helpful to the OPs and also to fellow moderators to provide a short reason why something is unclear, when it isn't obvious. </p>
