Welcome![edit]
Greetings Yennielee! I wrote a response but I must have failed to save it. Argh! Sorry about that. I basically said that (a) writing about Jensen (gamer) sounds great and (b) that working on biographies of living people is tricky. You should check out WP:BLP but the most important things are to watch out for tone and such (e.g., it really should feel like an advertisement for the subject and should really read like a informative/neutral description and you the use of good references is important. Since the article already exists, questions of notability are probably not something you need to worry about too much (since the article already exists) but it's something to keep in mind.
Good luck! I'm look forward to seeing what you develop! —mako๛ 08:38, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
Your Article[edit]
Greetings Yennilee!
I've taken a look at your sandbox article over at User:Yennilee/Jensen (gamer). It looks to me like you've added plenty of text, a bunch of references, and the tone feels good. I think my main suggestion is to make sure that the article is written for a general audience. I'm not a big e-sports person and I found reading some of the new text difficult. You're dropping names of other e-athletes quite a bit which is hard to follow if you don't know who those folks are. Do those other people have Wikipedia articles? Can you link to them?
My strong suggestion would be to take a look Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Esports which will have a list of useful pages. Take a look at the bottom and look at Featured, Good, and other very-highly rated articles. This will give you a sense of how you might improve the article.
Once you've done a final pass like that, please go ahead and move your changes over into the live version. I think with another pass, you'll be in good shape! —mako๛ 02:26, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
