"working for All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (AJW)" - the acronyms are unneeded since they are not used again
"on a Universal Wrestling Association show." - the acronyms of UWA should be mentioned in parentheses

The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
... that Chabela Romero, a pioneer in Mexican women's wrestling, had a
feud with
Irma González that played out over three continents? Source: Too many - basically the entire third paragraph - continents are North America (via Mexico), South America (via Panama), and Asia (via Japan).
Comment: After building several preps with no representation outside of North America and Europe, I am making a push to get articles from under-represented areas into DYK. This is nomination 5 in that effort.
Y Article is long enough (3360 characters), is a GA, nominated in time (became GA 28 May, nominated on 29 May), and article is within policy
Y Hook is short enough, interested, well cited, and true (feud is in Mexico, Panama, Japan which are in North America, Central/South America, and Asia, so 3 different continents)
Y QPQ done
Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations.

@
MPJ-DK and
Joseph2302: I came to promote this but stopped because of the word "pioneer" which is not mentioned or cited in the article. Without strong sourcing it reads like
puffery. ---

It does not say "Pioneer", but does mention she was among the first group of Mexicn women to wrestle, which "Pioneer" is a synonym for - or reword it to actually say that instead of the word "pioneer"?

I was going to propose a rewrite, but honestly, I think you're wrong on this one,
Coffeeandcrumbs. Pioneer isn't puffery.
wiktionary:pioneer defines the word as "A person or other entity who is first or among the earliest in any field of inquiry, enterprise, or progress." The source says that she was among the first female Mexican wrestlers. This one seems like a non-issue.

Hi, I came by to promote ALT1, but I'm having trouble seeing 3 continents. I see she won in Panama, Japan, and Mexico. Panama is in Central America, which isn't even a continent.

Per the Wikipedia article
Panama, it "is a transcontinental country in Central America and South America". Though I understand your objection.

Age of Subject at Debut and Photograph
Came across this article from the 'Did You Know' segment. She 1st wrestled at age 9 and the photograph depicts her at 10?
I mean it's perfectly possible but seems unlikely to this relative layperson. Her 'rival' was born in the '30s, sure she wasn't as well? — Preceding
