Titling discussion

[edit]

Wanted to notify users here that a discussion is taking place at Talk:Slate industry in Wales#Quarry or quarry? regarding the capitalisation of quarry articles' titles. (I am placing this notice on every page in Category:Slate mines in Wales). WT79 (speak to me | editing patterns | what I been doing) 14:16, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup tag

[edit]

I contest the need for cleanup of the lead. According to Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section, the lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents. The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic. Given the length of the article, I would suggest that the lead is a little short, rather than too long.

Reading it again, I have changed the tag to {{lead too short}}.
The current lead section of this article is: a half sentence explaining what the subject is ('a slate quarry'), a very short description of its location ('northeast of Portmadog in North Wales'), followed by two paragraphs describing its history, and nothing on at all on the other sections. My thoughts were that the summary of the history section was of excessive reletive length, but this is actually a problem with the other parts.
