Chocolateediter, regarding this edit [1]; why did you put the citation needed tag in? The whole point of the lead is to summarise what is in the main body of the article, see MOS:CITELEAD. The detailed history of ports section clearly states that "Most of the lobsters and other shellfish landed at Bridlington are exported, mainly to France, Spain and Portugal,"[1][2] and is the largest shellfish port in Europe.[3] If something was in the lead without being referenced in the main body, then I would expect that to need a tag, or even better be removed, as citations are not supposed to go in the lead whatsoever. Additionally, try putting an Edit Summary in, which explains the rationale for what you are doing and why, so we don't confuse your intent for the outcome of the text. Thanks and regards.

Yea it does say it in the Bridlington section, silly me. Other than that would “lead: moving around and removing duplicate and unnecessary information” work. May I please revert and for the tag remove it or use ref name to use the body’s ref for that information? Chocolateediter (talk) 15:27, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, please do as you see fit, but the lead does not need citations whatsoever, provided what is stated in the lead, is repeated and cited in the main body of the article. Amend the lead if you thing it is too bulky or repeating the same information, that is fine under WP:BOLD. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 15:42, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
