Tip of the day...

Lead Section Size

The lead section of a Wikipedia article is the section before the first heading. The table of contents, if displayed, generally appears between the lead section and the first subheading.

Rule of thumb: If a topic deserves a heading or subheading, then it deserves short mention in the lead.

The lead section should contain up to four paragraphs, depending on the length of the article, and should provide a preview of the main points the article will make, summarizing the primary reasons the subject matter is interesting or notable. The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, should be written in a clear and accessible style, should be carefully sourced like the rest of the text, and should encourage the reader to want to read more. The following table has some general guidelines for the length of the lead section:

< 15,000 characters	medium size	> 30,000 characters
one or two paragraphs	two or three paragraphs	three or four paragraphs

Trivia

Please avoid adding Trivia sections, especially when that trivia is unsourced. See WP:TRIVIA for more information. BOVINEBOY2008 19:10, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bovineboy2008 - please stop removing the Trivia section. I am a big Elisabeth Shue fan and all information is correct, some are listed on her imdb page, others are from articles I've read on the internet or read in magazines over the years. I'm not a super-user of Wikipedia so not currently up on linking such articles, but I wouldn't publish something that wasn't correct.

Please read the article I linked. Stop adding unsourced trivia. All information must be sourced from articles, please add a link to the article for them. Also, these should be incorporated into her "Career" Section. Trivia sections are not allowed. BOVINEBOY2008 19:49, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I will add the Trivia information to her Career section when I get a chance - which is what you could have done in the first instance instead of deleting. Also not everything on Wikipedia is sourced.
