Okay to relocate first Cite?

[edit]

In the articles very first page, would it be okay to move the cite from 'beat induction' to 'conclusively demonstrated'? When a seemingly technical term like 'Beat Induction' is shown as a link, people expect the link to lead to an explanation of that specific term. Additionally, the cited article is more relevant to proving the behavior exists in birds, rather than explaining it. Dstarfire (talk) 16:22, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds fine to me. Go for it! :) --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 21:35, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
