A fact from Johannes Agnoli appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 4 June 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the Marxist political scientist Johannes Agnoli was, in his youth, an enthusiastic fascist and Wehrmacht volunteer?
User:Carabinieri has reverted the headings I inserted into the article. I'm not sure if this is because of the DYK citing issue or because he thinks they are unsuitable and I'd like to quickly disucss it. Every article in wp gains a structure at some point, and as soon as an article developes beyond a stub I think it's suitable to insert headings. It breaks up the large blocks of text with whitespace and also guides the reader to what they will be reading about. I think it improves the article and would be keen to have a better reason than "current article is too small" as the aim must surely be to grow and improve it? I doubt an article can be made worse by the addition of headings where they were previously absent. Bigger digger (talk) 12:36, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sections are utterly useless, if almost every section is just one paragraph long. That does no more than give those paragraphs titles. It makes the whole article look a little pretentious. As to the whitespace it adds to the article, I don't believe such a small amount of text really needs a disproportionately large amount of whitespace.--Carabinieri (talk) 14:03, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
But at the moment there's just one long article with no easily accessible overview or structure. If some of the headings only contain single paragraphs that's not detrimental to the benefits, and is not really a negative. It doesn't introduce a "disproportionately large" amount of whitespace, it introduces some whitespace. The point remains that the headings make the article more readable. When else will headings be introduced except when someone thinks it's suitable? If I believe it's suitable now why pro-actively remove them? Bigger digger (talk) 17:06, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Have just come across this page and was independently thinking that it could do with being divided into sections, with more detail added. I'm sure both these things will be very beneficial. Anon. 19:14, 27 December 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.169.214.252 (talk)
