Achievements
In this section, it is stated that Felix won the Jessie Owen award five times; yet, only four dates are given.

And in the very next sentence, it states she is the only woman to win the award three times.

This is all very confusing.

Can someone re-write this section with verified numbers/years and exactly which awards Felix has won and to match up the awards and years ? ? ? 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 02:14, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
 * It looks like some edits have not been too careful; fortunately, the info was available at the award article, so it was easy to fix.--Gorpik (talk) 16:03, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Confusing wording in the 2018-19 section
There is a sentence about Felix breaking Usain Bolt's world record, which sounds very weird as Bolt is a male athlete. "In 2019, Felix was a member of a mixed relay team that broke the world record in the World Championships in Doha" or something like that would sound better. Also, the notification refers to the wrong entry for the source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.132.86.228 (talk) 08:11, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Edit: I skimmed through the source a bit too carelessly. It refers to the fact that Felix broke Bolt's record for most gold medals in the World Championships. At any rate, the current wording is no good. The next chapter in the article actually tells what Felix broke, and the preceding chapter calls it "the world record of Usain Bolt." It's not a world record, as winning more medals than other athletes is not an actual kind of sanctioned competition, and it's awkward and uses the definite article as if there is (and only could be) one record Usain Bolt holds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.132.86.228 (talk) 08:39, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Intro
I noticed some edits to Allyson Felix's newly-earned accolades and titles in the intro paragraphs, following the Tokyo Olympic Games. However, there are a few users attempting to add some passive-aggressive language regarding her single Olympic gold medal after attending five Olympics. These edits also erase content about her work off the track and her public breakup with Nike. Please aware of these negative edits.

Her shoe brand?
No mention of the shoe brand she apparently started post-Nike? https://saysh.com/pages/press Seems relevant, no? --Hooperbloob (talk) 22:00, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree. I've just added a mention of that in the paragraph dealing with her dispute with Nike.--Gorpik (talk) 08:47, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

2003 World Championships
No mention of her sixth-place finish in the quarter-finals of 2003 World Championships on the International Championships table. Will someone please add a row? Thank you! I don't know how to do it.
