Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/November 25, 2019

Blurb only 65% about the subject of the article.
The chevauchée, we are told, finished on 2 December 1355. About 1/3 of the blurb is about two other devauchées, which happened in 1356, but only one of which is the Black Prince's chevauchée of 1356. Kevin McE (talk) 23:16, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * No opinion, apart from the general principle that blurbs generally omit some context, and tend to follow the lead of the article. Suggestions are welcome. - Dank (push to talk) 01:36, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I appreciate that it is in the article lead (and therefore the article's lead gives disproportionate attention to the aftermath of the event, rather than the raid itself), but it still means that the blurb is only fleetingly about the actual subject of the featured article. Maybe it is about what TFA is for: Are we giving people a summary of the subject, or an abridged version of the article?  Normally there is no contrast, but here there seems to be.  The aftermath of the raids is about 10% of the article, but 1/3 of the blurb: the capture of 50 towns, the Battle of Poitiers, and the capture of John II were not part of the 1355 raids.
