A fact from Betty Brussel appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 8 October 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that 99-year-old swimmer Betty Brussel broke three competitive swimming records on the same day?

I happen to disagree. I did read what that page says and by that criteria, I do not think this article applies. The very first sentence states Where the article is a stub and has no section headings, a lead may not be necessary. We have section headings and it doesn't say that you must get rid of a lead if an article is under a certain word count. I think the article is better for readers with a lead. The average person wants to know why she's important, not that she was born in Holland and has a husband. The lead summarizes these most crucial aspects of her athletic career. If you disagree with me, you can ask for a third opinion. Clovermoss🍀(talk)16:43, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jengod: I appreciate you trying to make this more understandable to readers, but I described it as the "BC Senior Games" because that's what all the sources described it as and I was under the impression that this was an official name. BC Games Society uses the same naming scheme. Clovermoss🍀(talk)11:23, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
