References

Hi. Nice work expanding the Washington Football Team vs. New York Giants Game September 2021 but there needs to be at least one source per paragraph. Even if several paragraphs rely on the same reference, it needs to included in each paragraph. Otherwise it's hard for readers to know what source supports what, especially if someone adds additional content later one. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:09, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Hey, just wanted to say that the article you have made is well-written. I know it's disappointing that the article is being deleted (one of my first ones was as well, much to my chagrin), but I hope that you stick around. There's a lot you'd be able to contribute, and if you're into sports, it's relatively easy to satisfy the requirements of notability for professional athletes. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 03:20, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Mikehawk10 Thank you so much for your kind message! I really appreciate you taking the time to reach out to me:) I definitely want to stick around on Wikipedia and learn the ropes a bit more. Now that I have a better understanding of the notability guidelines, I feel more confident working on other articles. While I am bummed that my first article was deleted, I learned a lot from the experience of writing and article and putting it in the main space. Additionally, I got a lot of polite, positive feedback from other editors! Overall, the experience was really positive and I'm looking forward to contributing more to Wikipedia.

Reflection article

I saw your essay, and I think it's pretty good. I am currently writing the deletion report for the December Signpost (I mentioned you in the November issue). I'm glad you wrote this, because it gives us some good insight into the experience of a new editor -- I am going to be mentioning it. Would you be willing to do an interview for the December edition? jp×g 09:48, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

jp×g I am honored that you included me in the November edition, and would love to be interviewed for the December edition! What is the best way for us to be in touch? Is there an email address where I can reach you?Pippalenderking (talk) 22:48, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

I saw your essay myself, and ...

		The Special Barnstar
		... I am happy to give you your first barnstar. Many new editors whose first articles run afoul of notability guidelines and wind up at AfD react with anger and lash out. Not only did you not do so, you wrote a comprehensive and thoughtful essay on your experiences. I hope you stick around and apply that energy to future articles, and am happy to help you with any questions you might have going forward ... the more so in that I see you attend my alma mater!
