Introduction
[edit]What on earth is the following diong in the introduction?
- How to write a summary
- Read the text
- Formulate the main statement
- Reread the text and underline important ideas and arguments according to the main statement

WP is not supposed to be an instruction manual.
It can only stay if it's an example of a summary, in which case it should be in a box, and referred to in the article text proper.
(By the way, prefixing a dot point to a heading/caption is poor style generally.)
