| Another Tip of the moment...
The lead section
The lead section is the text before the first heading.
In the source text (the text in the edit window), a heading looks like this:
== This is a heading ==
The lead section is a very important part of every article. The length should correspond to the overall length of the article: an article of 50,000 characters might well have a three paragraph lead, while one of 15,000 or less should limit itself to one or two paragraphs. The text itself should give a good overview of the article, but it should also get the reader hooked and interested in learning more. Take a look at some featured articles for inspiration.
It's often a good idea to align a representative image with the lead by placing [[Image:Filename.jpg|thumb|caption]] just before the section. (Where Filename is the name of the desired file and caption is a description of the image.).

Re: Vyaghradhataki
Quite well, thank you, and I trust that the same goes for you. I did see the idiot's assault and the only thing I am surprised about is that it did not come earlier. Nevertheless, I am quite unable to comprehend how he managed to secure a UK-based connection, having used an India-based one earlier. If he has travelled half the way around the globe merely for this purpose, I think he had best visit Gunaseelam.
Right from the beginning I realised that he was confounding the identities of the Sholiyars and the Sivacharyas. In his opinion, the two are identical while from what I know there are quite a few Gurukkals and Sholiyars who point out glaring differences between them. The 'Sholiyar' identity, from what I gather, is quite an amorphous one, with numerous different Tamil Brahmin groups claiming to be one of them, while some of their own members express dissent. There is nothing quite so crystal clear as old Tiger-Power would make us believe.
Concerning my promise on Francis Day, I have been held up and hope to make up for lost time, shortly. Voltigeur (talk) 09:00, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
I have one sincere request to make. Could you, for heaven's sake, get the page on Vadama semi-protected again? Not only is he raving now, he is creating nuisance ad nauseam. And if you wish to have a good laugh, have a look at the history of my talk page to witness his delirium; perhaps acute delirium tremens. Voltigeur (talk) 06:49, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
He appears to have started all over again at Choliyal. And surprisingly, Athmaiyer is involved in many of the same cases. Let me know your opinion about this development. Voltigeur (talk) 16:58, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
