Girl received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.
Due to an edit (not by me) the COTW tag seen via Talk:Girl was absent for some time. Have reinstated the tag there. --Janke | Talk 20:20:14, 2005-08-31 (UTC)

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
Reason: This article is mainly about girls as victims, not as "normal" humans. This should be reflected in the article name. Here I propose "Girl (victim)", but I am open to other solutions, such as "Girl (survivor)". 109.155.0.175 (talk) 17:07, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

It is also used in the context of a group of women relaxing, for example "going out with the girls," "girls night out," "chilling with my girls." I suspect a little more analysis would reveal its used in many more ways, some identically to the way "boy" is used, some different. I'm sure this must be documented.

It's already in the article, quite prominently in the second sentence at the very top of the article:
While the term girl has other meanings, including young woman,[1] daughter[2] or girlfriend[1] regardless of age, the first meaning is the most common one.
level-4 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
