[edit]Hello, TyWil24 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:14, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Feedback on Deaf representation in sports
[edit]Hi @TyWil24, Thanks for creating this article on Deaf Representation In Sports. As you can see, it's been tagged as being too essay like and containing original research.
Inline citations: A place to start to address these concerns, is to go over the text and make sure that a reliable source can support or back up each sentence that you have in the sandbox. If any reader wants to check if a sentence has accurate information, they can click on the inline citation and find that information in the cited source. This will help you see what text can remain and what text is fluff or original research, and can then be removed.
Sources:"No original research" means your writing for Wikipedia will summarize what other people have said about a topic you’re interested in, so that a Wikipedia reader can get an overview of the current thoughts and understanding of that topic. I recommend you find reliable sources from academic journals or trustworthy news coverage to provide a well balanced summary on the topic. Currently you cite websites and blogs, which aren't necessarily trustworthy or reliable sources of information.
Lead section: The lead section should be less of an introduction and more of a succinct summary of the article. Your opening sentence needs to tell your readers, as directly as possible, what the topic of the article is. The remainder of the lead should summarize all the major points of the article in a paragraph or two. The lead sentence should go something like "Deaf representation is sports is..."
Let me know if you have any questions about the feedback above. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:47, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
