Could shorter lead summarize the status??

It was too long for me to figure it out and I gave up. Did notice the web site is down, but haven't the faintest idea why. Please work on this someone :-) CarolMooreDC (talk) 22:25, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The lead is too long - see WP:LEAD. Morphh ^(talk) 1:19, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Suggestions on what should go?Cptnono (talk) 01:20, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Summarize the article - go one section at a time. Limit the lead to about three paragraphs (and not the size of the jumbo paragraphs currently there). Morphh ^(talk) 1:25, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

So you would rather complain than do it yourself :P (screwing with you). It looks like Cirt was going for making the lead worthy of standing on its own and summarizing each aspect of the article as is seen in all good articles. Some trimming is needed, though. I don't think I would cut anything form the first paragraph and would focus on the length of the third and fourth. Thoughts? Cptnono (talk) 03:05, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:LEAD, I have made the lede be able to function as a stand-alone summary of the article's contents. I am open to more specific suggestions, however. :) Cirt (talk) 06:52, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I trimmed the lede a bit, [1]. :) Cheers, Cirt (talk) 07:05, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trimmed a bit more, [2]. :) Cirt (talk) 07:21, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Per the original comment by Carolmooredc (talk · contribs) expressing confusion about the website's status, I made this a bit clearer in the lede. Cheers, Cirt (talk) 07:29, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Still way too long. Remove all the mildly important details.. this is a brief summary. Also, the lead does not make it clear up front - Why is this important? Why did this get so much attention? I'd say that it's not about Glenn Beck but the unique aspect of Domain Name litigation. The lead does not make this clear that this is a unique and historic case that makes it important and notable. Morphh ^(talk) 13:44, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added back a teensy bit but otherwise looks good. :) Cirt (talk) 15:51, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Per above comment by Morphh (talk · contribs), added some info to lede regarding unique and historic nature of case [3]. Cheers, Cirt (talk) 16:11, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looking much better! Thanks. :-) Morphh ^(talk) 23:55, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and thanks for your help. :) Cirt (talk) 00:00, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
