 the beginning of the article. My concern with the extra sentence is the policy that Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. A sentence that says that pointing devices are generic devices that point is pretty dictionary-like. Can anything more be said about it (Do pointing devices cause global warming? -) ) If not, I would recommend removal.  :::A dictionary entry would just say that it is a device that points, more encyclopedic is mentioning existing kinds, as it does. -
