There is something misleading in the first paragraph of an article but I can't find a way to edit it. Are first paragraphs protected from editing by new users?
The article is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimberly_Guilfoyle
The first paragraph says she served as Deputy District Attorney of San Francisco from 2000 to 2004. Actually, according to the text of the article, her title was Assistant District Attorney. There is no position of "Deputy District Attorney" in San Francisco according to their organization chart. http://sfdistrictattorney.org/sites/default/files/Document/4.%20Organizational%20Chart.pdf
The problem apparently comes from the fact that when she worked in Los Angeles, her title was "Deputy District Attorney". That's the title for the lawyers in the Los Angeles District Attorney's office who handle trials. It is not "the deputy" of the department. When she worked in San Francisco, her title was "Assistant District Attorney", which corresponds to "Deputy District Attorney" in Los Angeles. She was not the District Attorney's principal deputy, which is suggested by calling her "Deputy District Attorney of San Francisco". She was one of many assistant attorneys, the attorneys who handle criminal cases. The attorneys who work directly under the San Francisco DA are called "Chief Assistant District Attorneys".

- There is an "Edit" tab at the top of the page, right next to "Read". You can use that tab to edit the entire page at once, inlcuding the lead section. I have corrected Guilfoyle's San Francisco job title. Huon (talk) 23:43, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
so-called minor edits
[edit]
Hi L W Frost! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Red Desert (film) that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Cheers!
