In working on this entry, I deleted nothing that was already there and added on to make it more complete. I'm sure more needs to be added, but I mainly wanted to include information on feature articles, since it already had material on news articles. I also played with formatting. I hope it is easier to read. Mazeface 21:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

It's hard to tell, but I believe you have deleted some things. Could you recheck?
Also, I believe your {{cite book}} is not being used correctly. Could you check the formatting?
Finally, it would probably be better to put a {{inuse}} in the article to reflect that you're actively editing it.

I wrote this before I saw the invitation.  :) I'll look at it more closely, if I have the time. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 21:27, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Got the {{cite book}} templates fixed. Look closely at the diffs to see what I did (please ignore the incorrect intermmediate versions). — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 21:58, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Does an article have to be a section of a larger written work or could it be complete in its own right?

[edit] Leads versus introduction

Am I not correct in saying that an article doesn't always have a lead, but it nearly always has an introduction; is it not the case that a lead is a particular sort of introduction that is restricted to a few sentences or a paragraph in length?- (User) WolfKeeper (Talk) 20:42, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
