First supermodel?

[edit]

The Wiki article on Janice says: While Dickinson claims to have coined the term supermodel in 1979, and to be the first "supermodel", the word already was known in the 1940s. The writer Judith Cass used the term in 1942 in her Chicago Tribune article "Super Models are Signed for Fashion Show". In 1943, author Clyde Matthew Dessner used the term in his book So You Want to Be a Model! - along with 4 cites.

I think we should disallow this claim, not exactly big-deal anyway. Valetude (talk) 17:46, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lede too long

[edit]

Seeing that the lede was taking up more than 20% of the total word-count, I deleted most of it, since it largely duplicated what was in the article, instead of summarising it. Harizotoh9 has seen fit to revert me for no reason that I can see. I won't start an edit-war yet, but I think an explanation is due. I would suggest 5-6% is a reasonable proportion for the lede.
