B) Please source the statistics in the intro. all statistics must be sourced. Thus FAIL Hamtechperson 03:07, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually, lead material doesn't have to be sourced as per WP:LEAD; all meaningful information is already sourced in the main article. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 02:14, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually, per WP:GA?, all statistics must be sourced. Also, statistics can be challenged, and WP:LEAD says that material that is likely to be challenged should be sourced. It also does not state that the may not be citations in the lead.Hamtechperson 14:34, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, and indeed all statistics are sourced. Lead sourcing is optional. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 17:08, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I'll call for a second opinion. Hamtechperson 21:18, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

SECOND OPINION: In my opinion, Julian is correct. As long as the statistics are cited in the body, there's no need to repeat them in the lead per WP:LEAD. I'd recommend passing this article for GA, but I'll leave the final decision to you. –Grondemar 21:34, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Third Opinion

I'd also advise passing this. Information in the lead does not need references, as long it is cited later on in the article. See these featured articles with uncited statistics in their leads:

• Tropical Storm Kiko (2007)
• Hurricane Kiko (1989)
• Hurricane Danny (1997)

There are many others. I'd say if featured articles can get away with it, good articles definitely can. Torchiest (talk | contribs) 01:11, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
