:''(reset indent)'' While I agree that the article does get a bit long with this much content, I can also see the other side (including all the detail canon material has on the character). If that info isn't here, it's good to have it ''somewhere'' on the wiki in the name of comprehensiveness; and in any case I tend to be of the opinion that too much info is better than too little, as long as that information is accurate. However, if I were to present an alternative to having all that detail here in the biography, a lot of it (especially when it comes to John's participation in battles) could be described in the relevant battle articles, with the pertinent sections on this page being more brief and focusing more tightly on John's role; links to said battle articles would obviously be provided. | |||
:As for the opening paragraph, I think it's fine as it is. Five paragraphs is still manageable as an introduction for a character we know a lot about, and the content itself is concisely written. Wikipedia, for example, routinely has introductory sections this long or longer. --[[User:Tacitus|Tacitus]] ([[User talk:Tacitus|talk]]) 00:19, 5 February 2019 (EST) | |||
