A fact from Patsy Pulitzer appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 August 2022 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that model Patsy Pulitzer was called one of the "World's Loveliest Sportswomen" after catching a 1,230-pound (560 kg) black marlin, a then world-record fish for a woman?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2022/August. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Patsy Pulitzer.

Content removed due to referencing issues[edit]

"She is buried at Locust Valley Cemetery, Nassau County, New York." Patsy and her second husband are buried there, but the only real source is FAG which is on the WP:RSP list. There are images of the gravestones on FAG, so it seems unlikely not to be true.
"In December/January 1957 she appeared on the front cover of Vogue France, photographed by Frances McLaughlin-Gill". The source for this is List of Vogue Paris cover models, but it cannot be confirmed elsewhere. The front cover in question can be seen in this ebay listing, and although it looks like her, I can find no solid sourcing. Edwardx (talk) 18:30, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wording[edit]

This wording does not make sense to me: "a then world-record catch for a woman nine years earlier." Who is the woman from before? Did she break the record, surpassing a record from nine years prior? The sentence would read much, much clearer if it ended "a then world-record catch for a woman." Any thoughts? --Kbabej (talk) 21:36, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
