Clarity

I suppose this article is about some kind of skin disease, but to a general reader that’s not at all clear from the opening (and only) sentence.

What are ‘seelike skin lesions’? Ian Spackman (talk) 08:18, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to clean-up the existing wording a little. Hope that helps. kilbad (talk) 12:10, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You succeeded – thanks indeed! I realise there’s an inevitable conflict between getting topics covered by Wikipedia (far more than any traditional encyclopaedia would attempt) and making them comprehensible to the ordinary reader, and that by and large our model of production negotiates that conflict rather well. But I am still unenlightened by ‘seed-like’. Like the seeds of mustard, or of pumpkins, or of avocados? —Ian Spackman (talk) 15:11, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
