That is not redundant, as the lead is a summary of the whole article. Thanks, _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 14:26, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary at the Ukraine page

Dear User MagicBologna. I see your edit to the lede of the Balaclava article. The choice of using simply "Ukraine" verus "The Ukraine" is a matter of style, with contemporary usage preferring the former (while many millions of texts and billions of people older than 30 still identify it as the latter). Since the Ukraine itself prefers no leading article your edit is on its merits correct. However, as one user to another you might consider being a bit less snarky in your edit summaries, perhaps something along the lines of "Official usage in 2014 is 'Ukraine'", or the same along with the helpful addition "...'Ukraine'. See Name of Ukraine article", rather than "There is no such place as 'THE' Ukraine". The difference in approach will not only lead to greater harmony at Wikipedia but will also tend to make your edits more readily acceptable to those reviewing them. Good luck. Yours, Wikiuser100 (talk) 15:06, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
