Feedback on Leon Crosswhite
Hello, yes on Wikipedia we are generally supposed to assume WP:Good Faith, on part of editors, and I noticed that you did create the page. He meets WP:Notability standards as a former NFL player, so it should've been created. Some of the big problems which I fixed early on was that your formatting was way off (that was an easy fix). Another main issue was that you used WP:Peacock terms such as "legendary" which to an OU fan (I am one) might seem good in conversation; in an encyclopedia it isn't. We need to be Neutral when discussing the topic. The only other thing that I keep on critiquing was the use of sources. A weebly site doesn't count as a WP:Reliable Source, and we generally rely on secondary sources here. Since you claim to be related to him you need to claim a WP:COI on the topic. As long as nobody is paying you to edit the page I doubt that you will run into too much pushback, if you ask somebody to help you with the information, and keep it neutral. (I might be wrong on that though.)

One issue being that frankly OU didn't play Alabama in a national semifinal back then as 1) the game didn't exist until 2014 and 2) there is no proof he was an MVP of anything. OU played Alabama in a Bluebonnet Bowl but I have not found information saying that he was the MVP of that game, but he did rush for 111 yards. I don't know whether or not that truly belongs in the article, if he was in fact the MVP of that game (cite it of course) then it could be merited on some part of prose. If you want to expand the article a couple of things you can think about are 1) look at some other articles to find the general information included in them, as it will help you find out information that is important (as such that he doesn't have trivial information such as he ran for # yards against Colorado in 1971.) 2) If you can, find reliable sources to back up that information, online newspaper articles/sports articles make up a bulk of that information. 3) create a WP:Sandbox and someone can help you with formatting/if the information is suitable. 4) understand that this is a growing process.
