Interesting life, on few but good sources, no copyio obious. What do you think of saying just the most notable thing:

ALT1: ... that Betty Campbell was the first black head teacher in Wales?

If adding to that, I think that Prince Charles or Nelson Mandela would be more interesting to the general reader. - I'd like the article better with a bit more lead and an infobox. The long sentence about father and mother could perhaps split. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:04, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

No problems with Alt1. I think, if either must be added, that Mandela is more impressive than Prince Charles. I don't care about infoboxes one way or the other, and in this case, with a lack of a precise date of birth and not that much else to add, it may look a little sparse perhaps. As for the lead, I have noticed that I'm not very good at writing leads, I tend to stick to the bare minimum, not wanting to repeat half the article. Fram (talk) 14:22, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

- I changed headteacher to head teacher, as our article name and the headline of one of the sources. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:31, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
