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

Splitting an article

[edit]

I see that you tried to split a section out of an existing article. You ought to read the process at WP:Splitting. That involves discussion, and also the need for proper attribution when copying within Wikipedia. --David Biddulph (talk) 03:03, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2019 United Kingdom general election debates, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nick Robinson (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.)

Hello! You split off Endorsements in the 2020 Labour Party leadership election from 2020 Labour Party leadership election. WP:SPLIT says that you should only boldly split (split without a prior discussion) if the article contains multiple distinct topics or if the readable prose length of the article is very long. Neither of these apply to 2020 Labour Party leadership election, so discussion should precede a split following the procedure laid out in WP:PROSPLIT. It's important to follow that procedure so that attribution of user contributions can be easily traced. But even where the split meets the criteria for a bold split, we still have to observe WP:BRD: if you make a bold edit and somebody reverts it, you should move to a discussion under the status quo before your edit. Please revert the endorsements page to a redirect and start a split discussion according to the procedure at WP:PROSPLIT. Ralbegen (talk) 11:59, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:2020 Labour Party (UK) leadership election requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

A tag has been placed on Template:Keir Starmer sidebar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2020_February_24#Template:Keir_Starmer_sidebar. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Kennedy timeline

[edit]

If you insist on removing JFK's presidency, at the very least you should pay enough attention to the section to see that your edit caused an inaccuracy. It's your responsibility to correct it. Bold changes incur some responsibility. If you can't do that, then please get consensus on the talk page for your change. Sundayclose (talk) 19:04, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Willwal1 -- I note you restored this proposed deletion tag with the edit summary including "Please discuss before removing". However this is not how proposed deletion works: any editor, including the creator, is permitted to remove the prod tag for any reason or none. The removal cannot be contested, the only route is then to proceed to WP:Articles for Deletion. Suggest you read the introduction to WP:Proposed deletion.
