Further categorisation

Wikipedia often has categories "British people of x descent". Could we not put this here - I believe she is of Jamaican descent? She is certainly of West Indian descent. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 09:16, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, this website:

http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/British_African-Caribbean_community

does say that she is of Jamaican ancestry! ACEOREVIVED (talk) 20:39, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The source in that article seems reliable, I've added her to the category. Robofish (talk) 22:30, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1994 Commonwealth Youth Games?

I've removed the claim that Lewis won a medal at the 1994 Commonwealth Youth Games. According to the page for this set of events, the first ever Games were held in 2000 ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 08:30, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
