Created by Ktin (talk). Self-nominated at 03:56, 10 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Usha Sundaram; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Copyedited the article to uplevel and streamline the language and make more readable. Changed the hook from "woman" to "female" and to fix grammar. Meets eligibility requirements. Picture looks good to go. Sourcing is fine. QPQ done. Added another source to the hook to verify both the claim that she was India's first female pilot and set the speed record. I prefer the first hook. Longhornsg (talk) 00:17, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
- Ktin, the second source of the first hook states that the record still stands. Is that not still the case? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:03, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
- @AirshipJungleman29: - Yup. That link is from 2020. Unlikely that someone would have broken the record in the last three years, but, we never know. Hence, kept it safe. Ktin (talk) 15:19, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- I think that's recent enough to assume it still stands; can't find anything more recent online. Plus, the current wording implies that someone else definitively holds the record. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:41, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
