The lead is a summary
Hello there. I noticed your edit to the article on pigeon photography which provided inline citations for the lead content. This is generally not required in good articles, and especially not in featured articles, as the lead acts as a summary of its following content. This is much the same principle as that for the content of infoboxes, which act to summarize key points of the article. If the article is properly sourced, the lead should summarize the content, and as such act as a repetition of already sourced info. It's a whole thing :)  17:24, 4 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, Fred. I see what you mean. I just undid my edit. Thanks for the heads up! HellidyLima (talk) 20:05, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * No worries :) There are plenty of crappy leads around the place though, so it doesn't always work out! A lot of short articles, which doesn't necessarily mean bad, are practically all lead, so the refs will have to be there. There's currently articles, so there's bound to be a fair amount of variety ;) Nice to meet you :)   00:00, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
