Further edits have persisted adding citation needed tags to the lede  Since the purpose of the lede is to summarise content in the body of the article which should be sourced WPCITELEAD does require editors to add redundant citations ie if the claim or fact is already sourced in the article the citation does not need to be provided again in the lead The first two sections of the article detail transcripts in which Hitler proclaims himself to be vegetarian diary entries and witness testimony from people very well acquainted with his diet confirming that he was almost certianly vegetarian from  onwards Sources detailing his diet prior to the war are a bit more inconsistent indicating he may or may not have been vegetarian earlier in his life Instead of repeatedly tagging the lead it would be helpful if the editor would at least explain their rationale for doing so if they feel the sentence does not adequately summarise the sourced content in the article then would they please explain exactky what their problem is with it Please note if a problem does indeed exist with the sentence it is not that it is uncited it is that it does not neutrally and accurately summarize the claims our article makes Tags only alert editors to a potential problem but if we do not understand what the problem is we cannot address it
