Citations in the lead
Hello, and thanks for addressing the [citation needed] tag on Night of the Living Dead. I'm responding here to a question you posed in your edit summary: "Including citation near the top instead of just eliminating citation needed and shoving a comment in the edit history where nobody can see it. This is on the front page of Wikipedia atm, so it'd be nice for folks to more conveniently see where this is sourced from. Also, aren't citations supposed to be right next to the claim instead of buried in a subsection?"

Citations in the lead aren't typically required by Wikipedia policies or guidelines because the top (lead) section is meant to summarize the rest of the cited content. Per WP:WHENNOTCITE, "Citations are often omitted from the lead section of an article, insofar as the lead summarizes information for which sources are given later in the article, although quotations and controversial statements, particularly if about living persons, should be supported by citations even in the lead."
