A few points that could improve this article[edit]
The links for all the citations listed work properly and are linked to relevant articles. All the information written in this article gives proper credit to the sources from which the information was found. The information has been relayed well in order to avoid plagiarism or close paraphrasing which is a strength of the article. Agovette (talk) 04:28, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The information at hand relating directly to Monica Pinette's accomplishments as a pentathlete are relevant, as she last competed at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, therefore she does not have any significant athletic accomplishments in recent years which need to be recorded. However, I think that her efforts in mentoring young athletes should be elaborated upon. In the referenced article titled "Aboriginal Pentathlete Monica Pinette", there is much more information regarding Monica's pride as an aboriginal person and it describes some of her actions which portray her pride of her culture. I think that the article should incorporate more of this information in order to better demonstrate to young aboriginal athletes what a positive role model in their culture looks like. If aboriginal youth who aspire to be athletes are able to see instances of successful aboriginal athletes displaying their culture proudly, I believe it will be a positively impactful experience for them. I plan to pull more information from the cited article in order to describe in further detail Monica's involvement within the aboriginal community, as well as finding more external sources which display her positive influence within their community.

The majority of the information on Monica Pinette is heavily related to her statistics as an athlete competing in international competitions as a pentathlete, therefore I do not think it is biased towards a certain direction. Some of the sources used include the Olympic Team Profile, the Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne, and Sports Reference. These would be considered neutral sources.
