She's The Man[edit]

Hi Alexcombs5 and welcome to Wikipedia. It was a good idea to add the Guardian article about She's The Man to the article's page. However sources are there to explain where the article's content comes from. That is, the Guardian article would only belong in a footnote in the place where you put it if it says that Channing Tatum was cast at Amanda Bynes' insistence, since that is what the sentence immediately before it says. I've read the Guardian article and it doesn't say that, so the source doesn't belong there. The best thing to do with it would be to add to the article some point that the article does make (for example, that many critics have hated the film, but that it can be praised for challenging gender norms, or that Amanda Bynes has said that she hated how she looked as a boy). Then you can use the Guardian article as a reference for the new fact you have added. Anyway, good luck with your project. Best wishes, AndyJones (talk) 13:48, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
