The lead section

The lead section is an essential summary of an article, located above the first heading.

In the source text (the text in the edit window), a heading looks like this:

== This is a heading ==

The lead section is a very important part of every article. The length should correspond to the overall length of the article: an article of 50,000 characters might well have a three paragraph lead, while one of 15,000 or less should limit itself to one or two paragraphs. The text should give a good overview of the article, but it should also get the reader hooked and interested in learning more. Take a look at some featured articles for inspiration.

It is often a good idea to align a representative image with the lead by placing [[File:Filename.jpg|thumb|caption]] just before the first heading. (Filename is the name of the desired file and caption is a description of the image).

Kakocracy

Hi, thanks for this article! Unfortunately, we have an article on this concept already under the title kakistocracy. I've converted the article into a redirect-you're welcome to use your text to expand that article. Your text has not been deleted and is accessible here if you'd like to retrieve it.

If you feel that kakocracy is the most correct title for the kakistocracy article (I'm not taking a position here as I'm not a classicist), one option would be to open a move discussion–that link goes to a guide to how to do this. Blythwood ( talk) 01:32, 15 December 2018 (UTC) reply

A page you started (Eranove) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Eranove.

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

The article currently uses phrases like Emerging Capital Partners, a pan-African leader in private equity and with the ministry, an innovative program to facilitate... which are promotional without providing any real information and should be edited out with respect to neutrality.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Rosguill}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Domus Aurea, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Panther ( check to confirm |  fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Blanche Merrilll

May I point out that none of your "NOP"s are original research, but are taken from the words of the texts that were used. There is no original point of views in that article. - kosboot ( talk) 15:16, 1 April 2020 (UTC) reply

I want to register my strong disagreement with your removal of so much information, much of which is your subjective opinion. There is no other source of information on this person. - kosboot ( talk) 20:33, 7 April 2020 (UTC) reply
@ Kosboot: Hi, while I understand your concern, I believe it is fair to say that the article is excessively detailed and over-reliant on show reviews and critics' commentary, which offer at best oblique information on the subject. Furthermore, if there is no other source of information, then perhaps Blanche Merrill does not meet the notability requirements? However, I will refrain from removing more information from the page for now. Let me know if you have any suggestions on how to move forward.
