• More of a comment than a review, but the hooks are pretty complicated. I'd suggest having separate hooks for the "youngest Black person" and "youngest internet" angles since I think both facts are solid in their own right and don't really need to be combined.

Last name?

What is the correct last name for Alena? While the WaPo lists her as Wicker, this article lists her as McQuarter: https://www.fox29.com/news/13-year-old-fort-worth-girl-becomes-youngest-black-person-ever-to-be-accepted-to-medical-school Erockett (talk) 20:38, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure. At present, though, she has "McQuarter" listed on her social media. Additionally, she won the Grio Award using the name McQuarter. As such, I wonder if it's worth updating. Fuzheado, I know you've been working to address changes to the page involving the last name. What are your thoughts? Significa liberdade (talk) 03:08, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
