Lede
editWith the kind of structure the article now has - multiple sections, table of contents - the lede has got to summarize the entire article. Instead, the lede that Srnec prefers does not mention the century that William lived in and does not mention his role as a cleric. Instead, it only discusses William's early life and move to Sicily, and dives into detail right away about where he may or may not have been born. If someone stops reading after the lede (which a certain percentage of readers do), they will not have much of an idea of what the article is about. Wasted Time R (talk) 10:49, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
