WikiProject Biography Assessment

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Yamara 14:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More needs to be made of the boycott. I don't know enough about the competition, but the article should either argue that she was good enough to win anyway or that she wouldn't have had a chance if the ComBloc nations participated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.86.153 (talk) 18:53, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Erm, without sourcing, that would speculation at best. Wildhartlivie (talk) 01:29, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wildhartlivie-did you post that just to see your name on another page? There are plenty of other international competitions before and after the Olympics where combloc athletes should have competed against Mary Lou. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.82.163 (talk) 23:43, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aaaaand....so? What does that prove? That they would've won? That they should've won? You need citations by established experts, not just "most fans agree" which is clearly opinion. 69.86.96.214 (talk) 06:12, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Revco claim

I'm not sure how to source this, but the Revco connection is correct. Here's a stub of an article: http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-117122_ITM —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.174.69.144 (talk) 03:52, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wheaties

There are three citations for Mary Lou being the first female on a Wheaties box, but Jane Fauntz was on it in 1935. I'm not sure what to do. -Etoile (talk) 15:04, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notable?
