{{divbox|gray|3=This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.|}}{{divbox|gray|3=This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.|}} Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

:I have never edited before, so I dont want to mess anything up, but a couple quick notes:
:People from Holden, MA on the reference articles wouldn't be exactly right, People from Princeton, MA would be exact. Smith went to a 5 town Regional HS located in Holden, but was specifically from the town of Princeton.
:Smith started his collegiate running career at James Madison for 2 years 1998-99 year and 1999-00 then transferred to Georgetown for the 00-01 season where he was much more successful but in the interest of accuracy that is the most accurate info. 2600:1700:F190:7980:F:FA73:5819:162D (talk) 17:14, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

File:Track and field stadium-2.jpg Hey Gbrn0—thanks for your recent contributions! I noticed your interest in Wikipedia's athletics / track and field content and thought you might be interested in the athletics WikiProject. We've done some great work (11 pieces of File:Cscr-featured.svg Featured content and over 25 File:Symbol support vote.svg Good articles), but with over 70,000 created articles to improve and many more to still be created, there is plenty more to do. Come say hello on our talk page, or let me know if I can help with anything by replying to this message. Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope I'll see you around. --Habst (talk) 13:30, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
:Hi @Gbrn0, thank you for making Mike Smith (running coach). I fixed it up a bit and approved it. If you want to expand it further, you could try including more details from the Citius Mag podcast or The Athletic piece. Also remember to add categories using {{tl|draft cats}} and don't be afraid of adding red links, per WP:REDLINK they can be useful to show that other articles could be written. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Thanks, --Habst (talk) 13:33, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

National varieties of English
File:Information.svg Hello. In a recent edit to the page :Gilda Radner, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 03:26, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
