• ... that Marita Camacho Quirós, who was the First Lady of Costa Rica (1962–6), is the oldest former first lady in the world and is a supercentenarian? Source: "Ex primera dama doña Marita Camacho Quirós cumple 110 años de vida. Doña Marita es actualmente la ex primera dama más longeva del mundo." ["Former first lady Marita Camacho Quirós turns 110 years old. Doña Marita is currently the oldest former first lady in the world."]
• Alt1... that the oldest person in Costa Rica, Marita Camacho Quirós, was the country's First Lady in the 1960s?
• Alt2... that the oldest living former first lady, Marita Camacho Quirós, was First Lady of Costa Rica in the 1960s?

• @Peaceray: Its long enough and the hook is too. All are reffed and no evidence of close paraphrasing but the sources are in Spanish. No image in article but likely there is one taken in a country that allows reuse (e.g USA gov employee). Part of the great work by Peaceray who has identified a good number of centenarian notable women who were Women in Red. My only query is that she is the oldest woman in Costa Rica and there is no ref. 110 would seem young as the oldest man is 121. If it is correct then ALT1 will work.

Victuallers, the ref for Camacho Quirós being the oldest verified person in Costa Rica is from Supercentenarios.net, which is the site of Latin American Supercentenarians (LAS). That link is https://www.supercentenarios.net/las-personas-vivas-m%C3%A1s-longevas/#h.cr65aw3uifsd & she is at line #23, the oldest listed for Costa Rica.

I have searched Google & Flickr, but have been unable to find a freely licensed image. Peaceray (talk) 21:23, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

• I can only approve the first hook (others are my suggestion) and that's fine Victuallers (talk) 10:12, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
