Section heads

The edit summary by Jim.henderson is Trim non contributing prose and section heads for individual paragraphs but this is still a mess. Since this user is a native speaker of English, I kept his few edits on the syntax. But I reverted his edits about section heads. The section heads are used to organize the subject; location, building, exploitation and transmitting equipment. (I am planning to add one other) So, what is wrong with the section heads ? And parenthetically I don't see why it is called messy and how it becomes less messy by removing section heads. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 11:44, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Section#Section size guidelines gives numeric guidelines which I sometimes follow, but more often I use an unofficial guideline that a single paragraph seldom needs a header. The paragraph should instead be so organized that its first sentence summarizes it. Almost all the sections at this moment are single paragraphs. The paragraphs are of reasonable size for a paragraph, but fail any commonplace notion of proper size for a section. Alas, I am too sleepy to advise on how to rewrite the paragraphs so that the article will organize itself clearly without so many headers, but maybe over the weekend I'll see how to do it unless some wide awake editor does a better job before I get to it.
