Edits edit

I made a lot of corrections on this article beyond the usual spelling and grammar corrections and wanted to detail them for future reference.

1. "Queen of Adventurer" [sic] removed as an occupation listed in the first paragraph, as it seems the only reference to her as the "Queen of Adventure" is on her Facebook fan page.

2. Corrected spelling of Walter's birth name to Valerian Johannes Pieczynski, per the sources listed.

3. Changed "The World's Most Travelled Girl" in the first paragraph to "The World's Most Widely Travelled Girl" per the poster on the article. (The later reference in the article included "widely" and thus was left as is.)

3. Corrected Work around the World Educational Club for International Peace to the Work around the World Educational Club for International Police.

4. Corrected the sentence claiming Idris Hall helped Walter found WAWEC and changed it to his first wife, per the source cited.

5. Removed the quotes around "driver" in the list of Hall's occupations in WAWEC, as sources indicate she really was a driver in the organization, not a "driver."

6. Corrected the name of their daughter to Valerie, per the source listed.

7. Removed the final paragraph, "Aloha Wanderwell Baker "First Woman to Drive Around the World" starting in 1920-1937, she drove in 3 Fords, Model T's, 1928 Model A's, and a 1935 Touring Sedan, 500,000 miles, in 43 countries, and 6 continents." The paragraph doesn't make much sense and sounds like notes more than anything. I couldn't find any sources to support it, either. If it gets added in, I would suggest finding a source, cleaning up the grammar, and adding it up in the body of the article rather than as a random final paragraph.
