change "He performed an Axel jump in his first week on ice skates" in Career second paragraph to "He performed an Axel jump after his first week of lessons".

The source cited (https://goldenskate.com/2001/12/weir-jumps-from-show-ring-to-ice-rink/ accessed 1/17/2018) says " “I got an Axel after one week of those lessons,” Weir related..." Most likely referring to his first lesson at the University of Delaware.

This source does not mention that Weir started lessons the week he received his first pair of ice skates. 77.59.182.138 (talk) 20:25, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Husband
His homosexual lover is listed as husband. It should be “husband” as homosexuals marriage is generally not accepted for obvious reasons — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unounouno2 (talk • contribs) 02:19, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ❌. See Obergefell v. Hodges. TJRC (talk) 22:19, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

It is not accepted by religious fanatics and ultraconservatives who wish to impose their beliefs on all sectors of society. If two people of the same sex want to marry and live together, who are you to stop? 177.158.220.240 (talk) 02:05, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Please change "Evengi Pleshenko" to Evgeni Plushenko - the link is correct, the spelling is not.

Thank you. 2A00:20:A01A:6B22:A18C:12E9:2589:10EA (talk) 01:28, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

The word amateur should be removed from the sentence “The Associated Press conjectured that it likely marked the end of Weir's amateur figure skating career,” in the final paragraph of the ‘Competitive Career’ subheading, as this wording is inherently contradictory and factually incorrect. Someone can’t be amateur at their career, an amateur is by definition someone that participates in an activity for reasons not professional or financial. 2603:7000:40F0:8730:38D4:1CB0:9701:B7DA (talk) 05:20, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Not done. In figure skating, they are considered amateur when performing at the highest competitive level. They turn professional when they retire from ISU eligible skating to perform in shows. It's not about skill level or earning income. The wording is correct. See Figure_skating. oncamera  (talk page) 05:33, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
