18F self-edit

18F employee here, self-reporting a (tiny) self-edit on our part - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=18F&diff=622376901&oldid=601868682 was an anonymous edit by an 18F employee that updated our current headcount. Though tiny, this was a mistake on our part, and we don't plan on making further edits to our Wikipedia page going forward. Konklone (talk) 19:58, 22 August 2014 (UTC) y[reply]

Commendable of you to make this disclosure/notice. Was someone from 18F or someone else in the Obama administration responsible for this euphenistic wording? "complications in the rollout of the HealthCare.gov health insurance marketplace" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.37.243.153 (talk) 00:42, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, that was me, and I don't find it a euphemism czar ⨹ 14:03, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lede should give an introduction

The lede is a place to give an overview of the topic of an article. For this reason, I removed[1] the first sentence and the "Overview" heading, making the lede into what had been the overview. No information was lost, and useful information was moved above the TOC. This change was reverted.[2]. I don't do editing wars. I came to this article because there wasn't enough information in the lede for me to understand what 18F was about. And there it was in an "Overview" section. I recommend the change I made. -- ke4roh (talk) 17:12, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
