Hi Analogstats, and again welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions.
My name's Peter, username Shirt58 (talk · contribs), a long-time editor from Melbourne, Australia.
The introduction section in Wikipedia articles - often called in Wikipedia jargon the "Lede" - shouldn't normally have any references. That's generally because

• the "lede" should be a concise summary of the article
• everything in the article below the "lede" should already be properly referenced.

Sometimes the "lede" does include references. Maybe this should be the case with The Young Turks, an article you have been discussing here?
What do you think about this? Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 08:18, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
