Talk:Writing

Lead length
I've marked this article's lead section as too long. LarstonMarston (talk) 14:42, 6 December 2022 (UTC)


 * A potential solution that would also enact some structural updates of interest to WikiProject:Writing could be to stop the lead after the current second paragraph. "Contents" could begin by merging the current section 2 (Tools and Materials) with a consolidated version of the distinction introduced in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the current header (i.e., collective and individual motivations for writing), which could then become sections 3 and 4 in their own right (with 4.1 - 4.5 becoming instructive examples of contemporary collective writing practices and 4.6-4.7 becoming examples of more individualized motivations for writing. Questions of the origins of and differences among different writing systems can be incorporated in the relevant history of collective writing systems, but readers interested in a more substantive account of archeological dimensions of can be referred to existing and already very thorough pages on History of Writing and Writing Systems. This page probably needs to serve readers more interested in the multiplex contemporary uses *of* writing.

 * Would agree w/ the suggestions above. LarstonMarston (talk) 18:19, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Opening line
I removed the link to "activity" in the opening sentence per MOS:SOB and MOS:OL; is there a "particularly relevant" reason to link it? If so, could the link be moved?

Incidentally, the first sentence's ending contradicts the last sentence of the lead, which defines a text. Whoever checks this could fix the links at the same time. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 15:07, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
