Witchfinder General
editIn response to your recent edit to the Witchfinder General article, be advised that lead sections are intended to concisely outline the article proper. Major topics should be briefly detailed in the lead. If you had continued to read the article you would see that all the facts you questioned are already addressed, and abundantly sourced, in the main section(s). Since these facts are verifiable and reliably sourced, but more comprehensively detailed in the main text, it only makes sense to provide the footnote to the more fully explicated fact then in the lead. As examples, you slapped fact tags next to the following: "Director Reeves featured many scenes of intense onscreen torture and violence that were considered unusually sadistic at the time[citation needed]. Upon its theatrical release throughout the spring and summer of 1968, the movie’s gruesome content was met with disgust[citation needed] by several film critics in the UK..." In the "Response" section, both of these facts are detailed via multiple film reviews and commentaries, each one reliably sourced and linked. To add five or six footnotes next to the details you question would make the lead section unwieldy, thus degrading the quality of the article. Please, lets try to maintain the article's current Featured Article status instead of degrading it with unneccessary additions. Thank you.-Hal Raglan 21:59, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
I have reverted your edit at The Village (film). Adding the fact that M. Night Shyamalan is well known for "Twists" is a pertinent description and a summery of a large part of the article WP:LEAD and not vandalism. As to it being a spoiler, there has been a great deal of discussion as to weather spoiling should be addressed in an encyclopedia, it is the job of an encyclopedia to put forward facts, not hype movies. That this is a twist film by a twist director should be stated as a basic fact up front, article intro's should not tease (WP:LEAD again). 69.72.2.71 (talk) 21:14, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
