::I have no qualms about working on the LEAD (there is no such English word as "lede"), but don't make massive edits at once.  Do a piece at a time so we can see what it looks like and how it works.  Or else do a massive edit here on the Talk page first and let's get it to where it sings and dances.  This article is just too sensitive an issue for running amok.  We must work together and get a good consensus among members and nonmembers first.  IMHO, the only reason for not working on the Lead here first is being unwilling to discuss the issue.  (  )
