Potentially unreliable source?
[edit]Atlas Obscura seems to be a user-generated source. Is this appropriate for a featured article? I'm not familiar with the subject matter, but seeing as it is TFA tomorrow, it might be better to replace it with something else. ArcticSeeress (talk) 13:22, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @ArcticSeeress, I really appreciate you reading the article and being attentive towards the sources. This concern was raised and dealt during the FAC itself. You might wish to check this out. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 05:47, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
- Two users in an RSN discussion from March of this year seemed very adamant that it wasn't a reliable source. The author doesn't seem to be an historian, and I'm not sure the website has any editorial board, so I'm still sceptical towards its inclusion here, but I'll leave that discussion to people who are more familiar with the topic. ArcticSeeress (talk) 06:28, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
- I'll note that the Atlas Obscura article appears to be original reporting from a new (2016) interview with Paula Welch. This is more than can be said for many other articles from reliable sources about Margaret Abbott, which seem to mainly rephrase the facts from a small handful of contemporary citations. Doesn't speak to the WP:RELIABILITY of Atlas Obscura, but it's one of the better articles on this page. PK-WIKI (talk) 23:06, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Hélène de Pourtalès (née Helen Barbey) won olympic gold months earlier
[edit]Hélène de Pourtalès was the very first woman to win Olympic gold- she was born in New York and was thus a natural-born US Citizen. On the other hand, she won as a member of a team competition and was competing for Switzerland. Should the claim be rephrased as 'the first American woman to win an individual Olympic event' or 'the first woman to win an Olympic event for the United States'? --Noren (talk) 04:04, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

[edit]shortest featured page i have ever seen Sebbog13 (talk) 11:13, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
- Perhaps, you'll be interested in reading Miss Meyers!! This article is short compared to other FAs I have written, but I feel this is as comprehensive as it could be. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 04:29, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
