The lede is too damn long now

[edit]

See MOS:LEAD. Should be a summary of the article, not a psychologist defending the concept. We should especially avoid overquoting in the lede, see WP:OVERQUOTE: The lead section of an article should be limited to a summary about the topic, rather than a collection of long quotations. The guideline WP:LEAD explains the suggested style of the lead section, as being just an overview as introductory lead paragraphs. However, special care should be taken to avoid long direct quotes in the lead, from specific sources. Instead, write concise, plain text which could be adjusted, or extended, also by other editors, to better reflect current ideas about the article's topic. A major problem with quotes in the lead is the concern about giving WP:UNDUE weight to one or a few sources within the limited space of the lead section. The general goal is to allow the lead to contain free-form text which can be altered, easily, to reflect both old and new issues, which might not be covered by quoting from an older source which lacks the new perspectives. - Scarpy (talk) 02:17, 19 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
