  • Comment: You must cite your sources using inline citations, correctly formatted. They are currently just a collection of external links.
    Also, remove all the inline external links from the body text. There should be no links pointing to external sources until those in the 'References' section (with the exception of one optional link in the infobox). DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:26, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Promotional tone issues only partially addressed (see WP:PEACOCK). Previously mentioned external link issues not addressed. The overwhelming majority of references are articles by the subject, not articles by independent secondary sources about the subject. Finally, references should be inline citations at the content they meant to support. • Gene93k (talk) 06:26, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: The references have been added improperly. See WP:CITE. Please remove the inline links to external websites, per WP:EL. Lastly, the tone of this draft is decidedly not neutral and would never be accepted in its current form on tone alone. We write in a neutral, encyclopedic tone here, not in a gushing positive way. Please revise. --Hammersoft (talk) 02:08, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
