References

The references in this article need filling out and placing alongside each piece of relevant information, as I have done with the second reference. Tony Holkham (Talk) 15:30, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have tidied up the refs. I doubt the Paul Williams reference is a reliable source, though, and an alternative should be found. Tony Holkham (Talk) 16:22, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tony_Holkham, to my understanding of MOS:LEAD, the lead should summarize the article. Is this correct?

I'm asking because you chopped the heck out of the lead and have one sentence only that doesn't summarize the article underneath it. I'll leave it be because I want to hear your side of the story. Necromonger...Arbs were wrong, Resysop BHG! 18:19, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ultimately, yes, the lead should summarise the article. The article is very new, though, and does need more work. For example, the Paul Williams reference needs replacing because it is a commercial site. When the article has developed a bit more, then a concise lead will be easier to write. There is no rush. On the other hand, nothing is written in stone on Wikipedia, so you can edit the article as you see fit, any time, of course. I have already made a contribution (mainly to clarity), so I hope that has been helpful.

However, if you just want to argue ("...chopped the heck...", "your side of the story..." !?), I don't. I just edit. Cheers, Tony. Tony Holkham (Talk) 20:39, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tony_Holkham Yeah, when I said "chopped the heck out...." I didn't mean it in a bad way. I know if I submit anything, anyone can edit it. I actually didn't have a problem with your edit, I was double checking to make sure I hadn't misunderstood mos:lead. Thanks!
