Ideal Wikipedia news style would be to have the first
section of an article be
a concise article in its own right. Then the process of creating a concise
version would be as simple as extracting the first section of each article
(excluding tables and images).
This is what I try to do with the first para an/or intro of every article I
work on.
(I have my personal style guide on [[User:David Gerard]]. I would most
welcome thoughts on my talk page.)
