Repetition

Hi. Here you said that you updated the intro with more information but, in reality, you just produced repetition. It's one thing to summarize a portion of the article and add that to the WP:LEAD (the introduction that should ideally never be anything but a summary), and it's something else to simply copy and paraphrase without summarizing. The way the article was laid out with a seeming "intro" probably caused you to believe that the "intro" should have all the important information. But articles should never repeat themselves. Short articles in which there isn't enough content to summarize in the first place usually don't need any sections, and usually can't sustain a lead-body distinction. In reality, there was no intro there. That heading separating some paragraphs from others was completely arbitrary, and I've removed it. Sincerely —Alalch E. 00:05, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
