The line about Marjorie missing the start in the 1948 Olympic Trials/National Championships and costing her a place in the 1948 Olympic Team is incorrect. She competed in the 220y (and relay) at those events but was not in the 100y. That was because she missed the start in the New South Wales trials to select their team for the Australian trials/Championships. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mongrel Punt (talk • contribs) 14:36, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Use of info box

Should the article use one info box rather than two? Many people have multiple achievements in their lives but I didn't think they required an info box for each one? Eothan (talk) 03:37, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t mind using two but would definitely prefer if the header could be suspended on whichever comes second. Might require making a new version of the template just for special use here tho. Innisfree987 (talk) 04:31, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not a politician

Marjorie was never a politician.

She was appointed as SA's Governor - not elected. Mongrel Punt (talk) 11:35, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
