 :{{re|Toddy1}} thanks for the suggestion and the above format looks good. However, [[MOS:LEADLENGTH]] recommends 4 paragraphs, so can we merge two of those paragraphs?'''[[User:Vice regent|VR]]''' <sub>[[User talk:Vice regent|talk]]</sub> 20:43, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
+::The article has about 55,000 characters excluding spaces (65,6000 including spaces).  If pasted into Word, it is 21 pages long.  [[:MOS:LEADLENGTH]] suggests (as a general guideline, not an absolute rule):
+::*Fewer than 15,000 characters: 1/2 paragraphs
+::*15,000–30,000 characters: 2/3 paragraphs
+::*More than 30,000 characters: 3/4 paragraphs
+::I added (5) to the suggested structure because I suspect that G probably has a valid point.  (5) ought to be the shortest of the paragraphs - maybe 1-2 sentences only.
+::Once you have a good draft lead, I am sure people will want to propose changes.  Maybe the sentences of (5) will end up as the end sentences of (4), I do not know.<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:10pt;color:#000000">--[[User:Toddy1| Toddy1]] [[User talk:Toddy1|(talk)]]</span> 22:13, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
