* Headers at the beginning of articles, esp ''Introduction'', ''Background'', ''Definition'', ''Abstract'', or a header that's identical to the page title. I don't see the need for these, and it introduces confusion for anyone trying to emulate existing pages in creating a new page. Removing it would also bring the first sentences closer to the top of the page in most cases (by dropping the table of contents to the next section), which is good for clarity. (Exceptions for this policy: Journal papers are required to have a header for the intro, I think, so if such a paper is replicated here and the author wants to keep it, that's fine.) If we're agreed, I could run my bot and delete most of these in an hour or two's work. | * Headers at the beginning of articles, esp ''Introduction'', ''Background'', ''Definition'', ''Abstract'', or a header that's identical to the page title.

* Notices marking a page as the work of a particular institution - where do they go, top, bottom or side? Does it matter whether it's a topic page or a project page? | * Notices marking a page as the work of a particular institution - where do they go, top, bottom or side?
