Lead cleanup question[[edit source]]

I've been searching for pages that need clean up and couldn't help but notice the cleanup tag on this page seems outdated. I don't see any Wikipedia links "in the lead." What do you guys think? Can the tag be removed now, or does it still need cleanup?--Rebazim 17:05, June 3, 2014 (UTC)

The lead, as rendered in wiki coding, looks like this:
"'''Ball bearings''' were a type of {{w|rolling-element bearing}} which used {{w|Ball (bearing)|balls}} to maintain the separation between the moving parts of the {{w|Bearing (mechanical)|bearing}}.
The cleanup tag is referring to the three (not two) links to wikipedia in the sentence, denoted by the {{w|blah blah blah}} tags. The cleanup is suggesting that we need an in-universe (that is, Doctor Who universe) definition of ball bearings, not a real world (wikipedia) definition. The phrase "Real world creep" refers to this policy, which you can read at T:NO RW. Shambala108 18:11, June 3, 2014 (UTC)
