Epicgenius, thanks for the quick review. Can I just check the requirement here - I generally source stuff within the body of the article, and then write an unsourced lead. Would you be satisfied if I move the refs around within, or are you asking me to add a source to the lead? GirthSummit (blether) 18:35, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
@Girth Summit: To clarify, a reference is not required within the lead. I am satisfied with moving the refs in the body. epicgenius (talk) 18:36, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Thanks again for the quick reply! I'm about to make dinner, but I'll tinker tomorrow and let you know when I'm done. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 18:42, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
