In real life we introduce persons, places, things, and ideas to one another on a daily basis. From friends and family to corporate businesses and international relations, a good introduction is important so that we appear competent, prepared, and in command. Sometimes careers are made or broken on the strength of an introduction.
In much the same way, articles here require a good introduction to adequately convey the information on the rest of the page. This introduction is absolutely crucial to the article's construction; without a good introduction, people will wonder what exactly the article is about and why they should care. A good introduction should entice people with interesting information and excite their curiosity, so that readers feel like the article is worth reading.
Since the introduction is the among the most important (and most difficult) parts of an article, some tips and suggestions for creating the perfect introduction are listed below for the benefit of those who made need help. Note that while the following advise is a good standard, there will always be times when an exception or two will be needed to better the article.
