Comment (by azaozz):

 The "Link has expired" message is better than "Are you sure" but IMHO
 still quite vague for the average user. Perhaps it can be "This action has
 failed" as suggested in
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8552#comment:3
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8552#comment:3].

 Also it doesn't offer an action for the user to continue. As far as I can
 see nearly all legitimate nonce errors are caused by expired user login.
 Perhaps we can add a  link to [site]/wp-admin (needs to be audited) or
 even go further and check if the user is logged in when generating the
 "nonce failed" message and show alternate explanation:

 User logged in: "This action has failed. [Back to WordPress admin] [[BR]]
 Login expired: "Your login has expired. Please [log in] again.
