  • More of a comment than a review, but the hooks are pretty complicated. I'd suggest having separate hooks for the "youngest Black person" and "youngest internet" angles since I think both facts are solid in their own right and don't really need to be combined.

Note to the reviewer: the nominator only has one previous DYK nomination so no QPQ is required. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 16:29, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Last name?

[edit]

What is the correct last name for Alena? While the WaPo lists her as Wicker, this article lists her as McQuarter: https://www.fox29.com/news/13-year-old-fort-worth-girl-becomes-youngest-black-person-ever-to-be-accepted-to-medical-school Erockett (talk) 20:38, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure. At present, though, she has "McQuarter" listed on her social media. Additionally, she won the Grio Award using the name McQuarter. As such, I wonder if it's worth updating. Fuzheado, I know you've been working to address changes to the page involving the last name. What are your thoughts? Significa liberdade (talk) 03:08, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
