lead section hard to read edit

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

the lead section (before the table of contents) is very hard to read. it mixes a bit of history, then some current info, then more history, then more current info... maybe it can be shortened to contain current state only, especially as there is already a history section later in the page ? --Richlv (talk) 03:12, 5 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

    • Ending changed from third Sunday to last Sunday: "a period starting at 2 am on the last Sunday in October in each year and ending at 2 am on the last Sunday in the following March"
