Ingrid Christensen
[edit]... that Ingrid Christensen was the first woman to set foot on mainland Antarctica in 1937?

- Hook is only listed in the lead not actually mentioned in the main article if she was the first woman to set foot on Antartica, just that she was one of four women on the ship when it landed. The claim she was first is not sourced? Evolution and evolvability - Can you please address this?- It is long enough, new enough, QPQ is not needed, sources are live and there are no issues of Copyright violation or close paraphrasing. It really comes down to the hook not being sourced. MPJ-DK 01:40, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
- I've edited the Ingrid Christensen page to clarify the exploration section and also add the key publication reference to the lead. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 02:47, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
- Yep looks good to me. MPJ-DK 02:50, 27 June 2016 (UTC)- Huh? OK, but who was the first woman to set foot on mainland Antarctica in 1936? or in 1935? Did any of these polar visitors know the difference between a restrictive and a nonrestrictive clause?
- ALT1 ... that in 1937 Ingrid Christensen became the first woman to set foot on mainland Antarctica?

- Haha, Quite right! I'm happy with ALT1 as a clearer version. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 02:03, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry to intrude! The first woman issue is not as clearcut as the hook makes out. The article states "On 30 January 1937, the ‘four ladies’ landed at Scullin Monolith." Another sentence states "and – arguably – the first woman to land on the Antarctic mainland." This makes the hook claim too definite. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:40, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Evolution and evolvability and Cwmhiraeth: Reading the source that was added for the lead I read "I followed the nearly invisible traces of the first women to reach Antarctica" and that's what I took as the source mentioning the hook. Could be wrong, but that's how I read it and approved it. MPJ-DK 22:32, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
- Ah shoot it was women doesn't it? I read it as woman initially. MPJ-DK 04:32, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
@Cwmhiraeth and MPJ-DK: Thanks you for bringing this up. The article's wording was less certain than than the secondary sources cited. I've updated the article to better reflect the tone of the sources. If ALT1 still seems too certain, could I propose ALT2:
- ALT2 ... that Ingrid Christensen is though to have been the first woman to set foot on mainland Antarctica when she landed in 1937?
- T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 05:47, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
- Restoring the tick. Thank you. ALT2 is good to go and I think ALT1 is also OK now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:29, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
