Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Folkezoft (talk) 12:07, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:

Hello, thanks for your submission. However our policy on young athletes applies here. The subject would need substantial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources in order to meet our notability guidelines. This does not include routine match coverage or recruiting profiles. I must ask, do you have any sort of connection with the subject? Please read the conflict of interest policy and make any required disclosures. I also encourage you to review this essay on why an article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. Thank you,

Hi. I see how the policy on young athletes is applicable. Thank you for the feedback it seems like I need to switch the sources. I figured the athletes recruiting profile would be a good one as it is direct link to the athlete themselves. I do not have any personal connection with the subject he is just an athlete in the area who is doing really well competing at a very high level for such a young age. Could you clarify the conflict of interest portion as well as some next steps to getting this article published? Thanks! User76432 (talk) 04:51, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
