| Dear Giano II. Indeed, with your summary reversion of my edit after a clear injunction that whomever disagreed with it should improve it, not merely revert it, it is taking on the look of an edit war. I take it you like big content heavy Intros, then? Would you be one of the page custodians you referred to? Please advise. Cheers.] (]) 12:42, 21 February 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::Lots of people watch that page, because a lot of people ''have'' to watch it. An open review went on of the article not once, but twice, and then a third time. Consensus among voters at FAC, then at two FARC's, was that the article was best in its ''present form.'' Any change to the status quo needs to have an extraordinarily compelling need to overcome a wide consensus. Arguments over ''one person's'' preference for how a lede should look are beside the point. Yes, there are people out there who think that lead paragraphs should be one-liners. I have my view of the mentality that prefers staccato ''data'' over syntactic ''information,'' but the essential factor in this edit war is this: ''this is not a matter of one person vs. another or one person's preferences being superior to another.'' It is a person with an itch vs. a consensus. Misplaced Pages works best, when it works at all, when there is consensus. ] (]) 13:50, 21 February 2009 (UTC) | |||
