I think one has to think about how long the article is and also when the lead is written as in the example Vivec (God), it's hard to read when everything is in one block. When I try to read that lead I loose track after a few rows as they float together. Short article, short lead.. (but not just a few words), maybe a couple of sentences depending on what the article is about. Longer articles neads a summary of what the article is about. I agree a summary of a long article is needed, but some long articles have excessive leads. College of Winterhold is a prime example, 5 paragraphs is needless for a lead.
