Symbol question.svg interesting article, fun reading, well sourced. I like ALT1 best but suggest to keep it simpler
ALT3:... that French pilot Adrienne Bolland (pictured) was the first woman to fly across the Andes, after only 40 hours of flight experience? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:44, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
Good, but I thought one of the rules was that the highlighted fact has to be one that wasn't in the article pre-expansion, which is not the case here. Daniel Case (talk) 03:18, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
I was not aware of that rule, didn't know the article so well to tell what was added when, also ALT 3 is just rewording ALT1. I would be ready to make an exception of that rule because I think if we present a person, it should be the most interesting fact about the person, regardless of when that fact was added, typically the most interesting fact would be added first. But let's discuss it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:28, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
