Slysplace is a semi-anonymous Wikipedian with an (occasional) multitude of interests and odd knowledge who insists his writing to be edited mercilessly. Although I often use automated tools I am not an admin, a bot or bot operator (nor do I wish to be) and occasionally do fix and write things manually. There are currently 6,915,022 articles on English Wikipedia. Which one are you concerned about?

Wiki Projects I haven't necessarily joined all of these, but do participate or have participated in the following projects: NFL : The kind of project that REALLY makes you wonder why you began to edit anyway... NHL : another massive draft series undertaking I'm not sure why I took on! Photography : More of a source of reference for me as an avid amateur photographer but rarely do I help it. Florida : Of interest to me as my home state and I like to vacation in my backyard. Tropical Cyclones : I deal with them all day every day, editing seems a COI. Woodworking : I've read most if not all of this, cleaned up some of it. Guitarists : I no longer play so at best I've assisted in luthier stubs cleanup.

Please share your best tips and tip ideas at the Tip of the day department. edit Tomorrow's 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 Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Summary essay: WP:CREATELEAD   Read more: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section   Become a Wikipedia tipster To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd-tomorrow}}
