Overall: Very nice work, Figureskatingfan! I've tagged two spots as needing citations. Also, what makes http://rictornorton.co.uk/ a reliable source? Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 14:45, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. I've corrected the refs and removed the tags. Yah, Norton is probably not the most reliable source, but this article, like many like it, has to resort to these kinds of sources in order for it to be comprehensive. If I were to submit this to a GAN, I'd support its use more. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:17, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Alright, this is good to go, though I'd rather see Norton replaced. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 19:26, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
