Welcome!
Hello, Tkparis, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits has not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

Sourcing
While I can see that your and 's edits to Sportswear (fashion) are in very good faith, there is a real problem in that you do not appear to have added citations or sources to your additions. I can see you both clearly know a lot about Vera Borea, but if you cannot back these up with references to published sources, then your claims appear to be original research and as such, are not appropriate for Wikipedia. Even if they are factual, Wikipedia relies on what reliable sources have published, and a good Wikipedia article will supply a citation for every claim and statement made in the article to show who, and/or where, the original claim was published. Some of your edits also incorporate your claims into sentences that are already cited, therefore giving the impression that your claims are backed up by the source already cited. This is potentially misleading and can lead to confusion. If doing an edit like this, you MUST add an extra citation to the sentence to support the added information. This is why I have reverted the edits - although the information is probably relevant and useful, the problem is that it is all currently unsourced and needs citations.

I'm not saying that your edits are poor - I'm saying that they need to be backed up properly with sources and references to published sources that demonstrate that Vera Borea is what you are saying she was, and that she was a significant person in this field. I absolutely agree that she sounds noteworthy, but we need citations to reliable, reputable published sources that specifically acknowledge her and her role, such as the books that are cited as support for Jane Régny's significance in this field. I am more than happy to help you both with editing and adding information, as that's a very important thing to be aware of when you are editing Wikipedia.
