Lead & Numbers
In Kristina's Youtube subsection, I mentioned the number of followers she had on YouTube which was cited on a Rice Magazine article and an ABC News article. However, someone has updated these numbers in the lead by linking to her YouTube page, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. I'm not entirely sure, but I think that counts as "original research" and we aren't supposed to do that. To the best of my understanding, we're only supposed to links to reliable articles who have already reported on it. Which is why I only cited her numbers from articles. I mean the number of followers on social media change all the time, so I could see why someone would just want to link to the page account so people could see the numbers in real time rather than citing a number from an article. But I'm not sure if that's allowed. So my questions are--

Should the new numbers be kept in the lead?? Does that count as original research?? Should the lead be left as is??

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks! Daxri (talk) 22:46, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
