• Comment: No improvement since last submission. The latest reason for decline is "sources cited are not reliable" -Lemonaka 06:44, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: We do not refer to people by first name only; please change to either full name, last name only, or personal pronoun. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:07, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Approx half the sources cited are not reliable.
  The whole thing looks and reads very promotional. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:05, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
