Introduction[edit]

The introduction talks more about what it isn't rather than giving a clear definition. Propose merging most of the talk of what it isn't and adding a simple english definition with description of practical meaning. Will action if no one objects. --Millionmice (talk) 03:37, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actioned. Removed a lot of garbage qualifiers (e.g "worse still") and redundant content. Tried to preserve anything with meaning in close to its initial phrasing, so things are still too verbose for my liking. If you believe I have removed something important please ensure it is cited before restoring. Propose deleting content I cannot easily find citations for in next edit, mainly anything that appears to be WP:OR, and revisiting a simple english definition. I would appreciate a review of the edited first paragraph regarding definitions.
