@ Dudley Miles and Moaia:I see there has been a bit of editing back-and-forth on the first sentence. I am not convinced that the new version is un-stilted compared to the old one. Worth noting that there was some discussion at FAC about the first sentence, which might be worth considering. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk) 14:19, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
