  • Hi, Template:U and Template:U, review follows: New enough, long enough, QPQ is good, hook is verifiable, interesting enough, no evidence of copyvio. Sourcing in the article is a bit iffy, I cannot find her birth date sourced anywhere, the cited source for Template:Tq [2] is a profile of her when she was 85, so cannot source her stopping when she was 86. That's just a check of two, I'd like to see them resolved. this might be a good source to incorporate, not sure whether there's any good info. Eddie891 Talk Work 13:42, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
I might suggest expanding the hook to
  • ALT1 ... that Dilys Price, who was the world's oldest female solo parachute jumper, conducted over 1,139 solo jumps before retiring at the age of [AGE when you verify it]?

Template:Ping The date of birth is verifiable to Guinness World Records official Twitter feed. I'm always a little uncomfortable about citing something only to Twitter, though, what do you think? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:46, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
Template:Ping Template:Ping The date of birth is in the Guinness World Records page (8th reference in the reflist) as well as their Twitter feed.MerielGJones (talk) 11:17, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
Ok that seems good enough. How about her age at retirement? Was it 85 or 86? Template:U. Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 17:47, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
