@Cambial Yellowing Why did you add repetitive text to the article? In what way is the reader served by reading the same text twice in succeeding sentences? Uhoj (talk) 22:00, 5 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

The lead section summarises the information in the body of the article (see WP:LEAD). It therefore repeats the information in the body albeit in more concise form. Cambial — foliar❧ 06:26, 6 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

"It was prepared by a panel constituted as part of the Science Advisory Committee, at that time part of the Office of Defense Mobilization. The report's common name stems from the panel's first chairman H. Rowan Gaither." isn't a summary of "It was prepared by a panel constituted as part of the Science Advisory Committee, at that time part of the Office of Defense Mobilization. The report's common name stems from the panel's first chairman H. Rowan Gaither."

That's exactly the same text repeated, and consecutively too. Nobody benefits from this needless repetition. Uhoj (talk) 22:30, 7 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Those who benefit are readers who do not go past the lead. That’s the purpose of the lead section. Cambial — foliar❧ 07:41, 8 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
