Photo caption "...its subject has been brought to the lead more recently." what does that mean? I can't understand it whether reading "lead" pronounced "led" or "leed". --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 14:44, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- Definition #2 of wikt:lead#Noun_2 is how I understand it, where for articles 'in the lead' means being a featured article - Evad37 [talk] 23:45, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

- I get that it's supposed to be a pun, I just (still) don't understand the idiom. "Brought to the lead" means being [dog] trained. But I'm and British ... and a pedant, and maybe this means something in USEng and maybe it just doesn't matter :-). --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 08:54, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
