 * "Pioneering" is too promotional/POV but I'll take a look at where to add. By first paragraph, do you mean the lead @Crawlstart? --FeldBum (talk) 20:51, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick reply. I see what you mean about pioneering and would welcome a better word--though "pioneering" I believe is accurate.  Maybe just remove the word pioneering?  Yes, I think I mean the lead paragraph.  Are there particular rules for that paragraph?  Here is the lead paragraph I would propose with the changes in bold.
