Formatting Gwendoline Neligan
Hello, your draft as submitted was not ready for publication due to weak sourcing, but it only took me a minute to find a BBC article noting her champion status, add it as a footnote, and approve the article, now published at Gwendoline Neligan.

Great idea for an article, but as you move onward due keep an eye to formatting. You're confusing WP:wikilinks (blue clickable links to other articles) with WP:Footnotes (the little blue numbers that show what the source of a statement it. So keep an eye on that.

Since Neligan is deceased, you are allowed to upload one photo of her, even if copyright, under WP:Fair Use. To do so, use the WP:Upload Wizard, and contact WP:Teahouse to speak to the volunteer mentors if you have any trouble.

I suggest you also take a look at some other Fencer articles, click the Edit button and look at their formatting and see how you can imitate that to improve the Neligan article. Your current article lacks categories, Persondata (both of these you find at the bottom of any bio page), etc. These aren't life-death problems, just things you'll want to fine-tune to make your article as strong as it deserves to be!

Nice work, and again contact the Teahouse if you ever get stuck on anything. I hope you'll stick around and continue to improve our Fencing coverage! MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:29, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
