The term 'lede'
@ User:Gereon K. to answer your question, I am using the term under Etymology 2 at Wictionary.org. Please also see Lead_paragraph or https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lede. merlinVtwelve (talk) 21:40, 11 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello merlinVtwelve. Thank you for the explanation. The definition of the opening paragraph in Wikipedia is a little different. It should sum up the entire article in a couple of sentences. It is not about enticing in the way that Merriam Webster defines. And regarding the income raid tax: as I understand it is still under investigation, which means that it is not ready yet to be part of her article. The same as when a court hearing is opened. It's news in an encyclopedic sense when the verdict is spoken, not before. But it's true that there have been allegations of embezzling donations for a long time. One might argue that many newspapers write about this so it's ok to mention it. --Gereon K. (talk) 22:07, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * User:Gereon K. I'm familiar with the usage of 'lede' within WP and some editors use it instead of 'lead', but you did not seem to be familiar with the word itself. The subject and her relatives are controversial figures. These are much more than 'allegations' as have been reported the past. These were actions by an official government body - including raids and multi-million dollar property seizures across around 40 properties owned by Preetha, and her notorious husband and father-in-law. As the result of an official judgement, she has been barred from leaving the country, which belongs in the WP article, and the raids provide context. These raids were widely reported across all major media outlets in India, and additional sources can be provided if necessary. BTW, Wikipedia is not a marketing tool, and I don't know why her personal website appears twice in such a short article? merlinVtwelve (talk) 23:07, 11 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Her website is not there alone. It provides just one view, that of her own. If it was the only source it would not be valid. Since it represents one side of the medal it should be mentioned in the article. Each Wikipedia biography article and each company article contains the website of the subject. --Gereon K.
