This article was the subject of an educational assignment in 2014 Q3. Further details were available on the "Education Program:California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo/ES 350 (Fall 2014)" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki.
I noticed that the article flip-flops between referring to the subject as "LaFlesche" or "Picotte." Which is standard? (i.e. is one last name preferred when referring to her in a shorter form, as with most spanish last names, or should the full "LaFlesche-Picotte" be used?)

In my reading I did not see any "flip-flop". Picotte was used after she married. I don't quite see the point about Spanish use of maiden names as she was part French, not Spanish. Gandydancer (talk) 12:48, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that there are multiple spellings of her name, but is there a reason the title of the article and the spelling in the beginning of the lede are different? Seems confusing. -KaJunl (talk) 19:23, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The intro says that she was the "...first Native American to earn a medical degree." The infobox describes her as being known for being the "First Native American woman to become a physician in the United States."
Was she the first Native American woman OR Native American period, man or woman, to become a doctor?
Was she the first in the world OR the United States? In other words, what was the extent of the location of her accomplishment?
If you can answer these questions decisively, please give references along with supporting quotes, even if those quotes are only listed in the reference itself or on this talk page. Thank you! —Geekdiva (talk) 00:19, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
