Why intros to articles often don't have references
Hi Analogstats, and again welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. My name's Peter, username, a long-time editor from Melbourne, Australia. The introduction section in Wikipedia articles - often called in Wikipedia jargon the "Lede" - shouldn't normally have any references. That's generally because Sometimes the "lede" does include references. Maybe this should be the case with The Young Turks, an article you have been discussing here? What do you think about this?

 * the "lede" should be a concise summary of the article
 * everything in the article below the "lede" should already be properly referenced.
