June 2024

Please familiarize yourself with MOS:LEAD before commenting on other users talk page.

"As a general rule of thumb, a lead section should contain no more than four well-composed paragraphs and be carefully sourced as appropriate, although it is common for citations to appear in the body and not the lead."

In other words, if the body contains sourced information, a source in the lede is optional.

Gabriele Scheler draft page

Hi ABG, I found that you edited a page which seems completely outside of your expertise (Japan) namely the biography of a living scientist and founder of a notable non-profit research institution, the Carl Correns Foundation. You rejected the page, bc some of the sentences in the biography were inadequately sourced. That does not seem a valid reason, since these data can be added over time. It does not mean that the scientist in question should not have their page. Their is a lengthy discussion about the 8 criteria on the talk page, and how these criteria were actually met. Did someone vandalize your authorship? It looks as if this could have happened. There is some spiteful entities here whuch may have caused some trouble. In any case, please review the material, which contains much valuable resources and citations. PowerUser22 (talk) 20:39, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
