Lead section too long

[edit]

The lead section, or everything above the table of contents should serve as a general introduction to the subject. While the first couple of paragraphs are a good start, the details that follow about the recent events in Europe should be summarized in a sentence or two and then set out in detail in the body of the article. There should be no more than 4 paragraphs in the lead, but it should be written with the most important information packed into about the first 25 to 50 words of the first paragraph. A good test is to search for this article on Google and see what it displays in its summary text grab, which is usually the first sentence. If this was all that people could know about the article, is it the important information you want people to know? Would you follow the link? Similarly, log out of Wikipedia and view the first screen of the article. Can you see the table of contents? Does the lead section really inform you about the article, or is too long to do that? - Cameron Dewe (talk) 08:38, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
