Please identify any revisions that were unsourced. I dispute this claim in the strongest terms, and question the basis for making such an implication. Simply writing undisputed facts out of existence violates Wikipedia's policy of being neutral, and this is apparently what some users are attempting to do to this article in an effort to push a personal agenda along racial lines.
The article was misleading prior to my revisions, intentionally creating the implication that the subject of the article was black through the use of intentionally misleading wording, such as "the first African," and "the first African since." These terms create unacceptable ambiguity when such terms are used in the context of beauty pageants to imply that this particular victory signifies the social progression towards widespread acceptance of differing beauty standards sought by people of African descent.
As the winner of this pageant was someone who was unambiguously white and thus associated with the customary Western standards of beauty, the wording is misleading. I added in data from existing Wikipedia pages and hyperlinked to them, including those of the last black African winner and the first black winner. Please tell me how this is making unsourced revisions.
