Talk:Global Counterterrorism Forum

Article has multiple issues
This article has multiple issues. I have updated the clean-up tags, accordingly. However, I think some additional explanation is needed. For an article to be notable it generally needs to have significant coverage in secondary and tertiary sources that are reliable and independent of the subject. An organization's official website is usually insufficient to demonstrate notability because it is a primary source. The best way to demonstrate notability is to provide inline citations for each fact or piece of information in the article. I also flagged that the lead section has extra information that is not in the body of the article. A common issue with writing Wikipedia articles is that editors include information in the first few sentences of the article that are never mentioned or explained in more detail later in the article. The purpose of the lead is to provide a summary overview of the article. If you search for a topic, you will often find the opening paragraph or even just the first sentence returned in search engine results. A well worded lead quickly allows readers to quickly determine if an article is relevant. Unlike news stories, Wikipedia article leads are not written like newspaper ledes. Unlike news stories, Wikipedia article leads summarize their articles, they do not tease readers by only providing a tidbit of information to make them read more. That means the information in the lead will need to be repeated later in the article. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 01:38, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
