Overall: ~~Per MOS:LEADCITE, the material in the lead section should be cited. As the content also appears in the remainder of the article, that should not be difficult for the article creator to accomplish.~~ Originally I had concerns over the fact that the lead section was uncited, but given that even featured articles can have uncited lead sections as 4meter4 indicates, I am withdrawing that objection. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:47, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Metropolitan90 You have misunderstood the policy. The opposite is true. MOS:LEADCITE says The presence of citations in the lead is neither required in every article nor prohibited in any article. You are not supposed to have redundant citations in the lead. Take a look at any WP:FA status article and you will see zero citations in the lead. For example todays feature article: Algebra. Other FA class articles with zero citations in the lead from this month on the main page: Len Deighton, Shovel Knight Showdown, You Belong with Me, Wilfred Arthur, Mimodactylus, etc. Best.4meter4 (talk) 06:06, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
