Adjustment of the lead section

With the expansion of the article, the lead section probably needs an update as well. Currently it's a list of Hanyu's Olympic titles, records and firsts, but there are no global infos about the seasons (only the win of Olympics, Worlds and GPF in the 13-14 season). We definitely need to add links to the three figure skating seasons that are covered in this article. And it would be nice to mention that he finished first in the world standings in the 13-14 and 17-18 season to show why his Olympic seasons as a whole are notable enough for a WP article. This information is definitely missing in the article body (season's best placement and world ranking may be added, too).

Also, since there are separate sections about his Olympic programs, it must be clear why they are notable, and add that briefly to the lead section. These programs all have set world, national or Olympic records and their elaborate creation process was broadly covered by the media (magazine and newspaper articles, television broadcasts and even full documentaries like the making of Seimei), which is unusual in figure skating. In fact, you can find more reliable secondary sources about the creation of Seimei and Ten to chi to than some skaters' entire competitive career. Henni147 (talk) 15:46, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

"Olympic seasons" or "Olympics seasons"?

@Yolo4A4Lo: I just noticed that in the page title and lead section we use the term "Olympics seasons", while it's "Olympic seasons" in the article body. I looked up multiple books and newspaper articles and it's always "Olympic seasons" (without 's'). Are both versions correct? Personally, I prefer the latter, but we should be consistent with the terminology throught the page. Henni147 (talk) 13:47, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

It should be "Olympic seasons" since the Olympic functions as an adjective in it. Meanwhile it's "Winter Olympics" because it functions as a noun. Feel free to fix the article. I will handle the page title tomorrow if it hasn't been done yet. Yolo4A4Lo (talk) 15:39, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

First of all, and foremost, these are, and always have been referred to as "Olympic Games", not "Olympic Seasons". I believe the entire misclassification warrants correction wherever this phrase is mentioned in this young man's article. 2601:1C0:5D01:84D0:3D8A:2142:5B2F:B3B (talk) 02:19, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

In this case, it is indeed the full Olympic season, which lasts one year and includes all competitions, not only the Winter Olympics themselves. They are part of the Olympic season, which again is part of a four-year-long Winter Olympic cycle. Henni147 (talk) 08:02, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
