Some bookmarks I want to save for myself: WP:UBX WP:US

During the 2015 spring semester at school, I enjoyed my time editing Wikipedia and focusing on WP:BLP and WP:NEUTRALITY. Unfortunately, I got a bit too addicted and getting controversial articles to a neutral point of view became an obsession, breaking the addiction. Over the summer, I had an internship that took up all my time and left none for editing Wikipedia. I eventually signed back in to add the retired template to my user pages. Back at school now, I still check wikipedia, but generally avoid editing so I don't get sucked back in. I can be reached for whatever reason on my talk page, but please understand if I don't respond.

Tip of the day...

Lead Section Size

The lead section of a Wikipedia article is the section before the first heading. The table of contents, if displayed, generally appears between the lead section and the first subheading.

Rule of thumb: If a topic deserves a heading or subheading, then it deserves short mention in the lead.

The lead section should contain up to four paragraphs, depending on the length of the article, and should provide a preview of the main points the article will make, summarizing the primary reasons the subject matter is interesting or notable. The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, should be written in a clear and accessible style, should be carefully sourced like the rest of the text, and should encourage the reader to want to read more. The following table has some general guidelines for the length of the lead section:

< 15,000 characters	medium size	> 30,000 characters
one or two paragraphs	two or three paragraphs	three or four paragraphs
