Hi. I reverted your edit to Camille Billops and I'd like to explain why. Per WP:LEDE, the lead section should be a summary of the information in the body of the article and should not have citations, as those citations would be in the body. You may have seen citations in other lede sections but this is wrong and usually exists because of contentious material. Furthermore, Blackpast.org isn't a reliable source because, like Wikipedia, it is crowdsourced. Finally, citations exist in Wikipedia to verify existing content. We don't add citations un-connected to content simply to indicate where one might continue research on the subject. Thanks for your edits, regardless. I hope my explanation makes sense.

About Blackpast.org not being a reliable source as it's "crowdsourced"... the Blackpast.org Wikipedia article you directed me to states "Since its inception, all content has been reviewed for accuracy and relevance by Dr. Taylor and a team of copyeditors prior to publication." The Blackpast.org website says "All submissions by contributors are reviewed by the website director and on occasion by members of the BlackPast.org Advisory Board. Each entry or article is also reviewed by copy editors - See more at: http://www.blackpast.org/about/frequently-asked-questions#sthash.YFelDVTh.dpuf" So that's very different from Wikipedia, right?
Also, Chris Troutman (talk), according to the info about the lead section you directed me to, WP:LEDE , "The presence of citations in the introduction is neither required in every article nor prohibited in any article." Circa73 (talk) 22:24, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Circa73: On second thought, you might be right. I've restored the source. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:30, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
