Welcome!
Hello, Kanagawar, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:08, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Your draft
Hi. I returned your draft to your sandbox. You are supposed to merge your additions into the existing article, not create a duplicate article.

In addition, you need to write in a neutral, encyclopedic tone. Something like Abby Wambach is not only a nationally renown athlete, she is a female activist for other women in athletics is far too promotional for a Wikipedia article.

You should also use inline references instead of (author, date) ones. And I'm not sure why "Global Citizen" is a reliable source - according to their "Who's behind Global Citizen" page, they're a nonprofit, not a news organization or scholarly publication.

 * Hi. It's important that you address the tone and sourcing issues I raised here. This is especially important because the Abby Wambach article is a Good Article, so it's important to maintain the article quality. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:50, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
