Article feedback
[edit]Nice work on the environmental impact of Mardi Gras beads. However, as it stands, your article does not have a properly structured lead section - instead, it has an introduction. Wikipedia articles are supposed to begin with a short (1-3 paragraph) summary of the main points of the article. The lead should begin with a one-sentence statement of what the article is about. The following sentences should cover the major points of the article. Generally speaking, the lead shouldn't contain information that isn't already part of the article.

- Eprest4 I will be happy to work with you to improve the lead section before you leave on break. Also, there is an existing article on Mardi Gras throws and perhaps your content could be combined. BCarmichael (talk) 19:24, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
