Parasitism, and adding materials to the lead section

Hi Piotrpavel, thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia. Unfortunately I've had to undo your edits to Parasitism; the last one attempted to add an example (not needed anyway, the lead is not a place for lists) but it confused parasitism by fleas with mosquito-borne malaria. A useful take-home point from this is never to attempt to create lead materials from memory, which may not serve correctly; the deeper point is that the lead is always and only a summary of existing cited materials in the article body, so the only place to look for suitable lead materials is the body of the same article. In other words, nothing "new" should ever be added to the lead of any article. In the case of Parasitism, the lead has been formally reviewed along with the rest of the article, and it has existed in this state for some years: it certainly covers "the main points" and is in fact rather a detailed article already. The lead is by intention simple: both short and easy to read for a non-technical audience. The body of the article is necessarily more complex, but that does not mean that the lead should become long and complex also. Examples, too, are rare things for a lead to contain, because leads should say as little as possible, and a list of them is almost always undesirable (both in the lead and in the body, actually). All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:10, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
