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

[edit]

Information icon Hi Thank you for edits on Music of Zambia but please provide some independent sources to support you claims. Happy Editing. Chabota Kanguya (talk) 13:56, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have removed the 'prod'. It should not have been placed at all really, as the editor that did so admits the DM (Zambia) is probably reliable. I have also done a fair amount of tidying of the page.

I note that although you have received a 'welcome' message, not all of the usual links were provided to you. So here are a few which might assist you in the future:

Cheers. Eagleash (talk) 17:53, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New pages will not be indexed by Google etc. until they have been patrolled or for 90 days, whichever is the shorter period. Good luck. Eagleash (talk) 19:36, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Mic Diggy for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mic Diggy is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mic Diggy (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:54, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop recreating articles

[edit]

Mic Diggy has had a consensus for deletion at 2 separate WP:AFD deletion discussions, and then had its deletion endorsed at WP:DRV. There is no reason for you to have recreated it again today, on the same day the DRV was closed as "delete". The consensus is that this article does not meet Wikipedia's standards. Continuing to recreate articles that have a consensus for deletion will get you account blocked, so please stop doing this. Thanks.

Hello, Vicmullar. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, Draft:Elevation (EP).

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it. — JJMC89(T·C) 06:22, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
