I will be reviewing this as part of GARC#80.A.Cython (talk) 17:36, 10 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

I enjoyed reading the biography of a female snowboard champion. Overall the article is well written, though there are some issues to be resolved. My pressing concern is that of overuse of quotes. Once this is tackled, I believe that the article would be ready for GA status. A.Cython (talk) 05:24, 12 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Prose & MoS

add a wikilink to
- collarbone Done
is there a wikilink for Crystal Globe trophy? Same trophy is given to overall World Cup winners in lots of disciplines - ski halfpipe, snowboarding big air etc. [Crystal Globe] is a diambiguation page. Speed skating CG has a page, but not snowboarding.
- [AC] Thank you for the explanation. I suppose one day someone will create a dedicated article for the particular trophy. It seems to be an important one.
remove the quotes from 'relief' or replace them with "..." added ""

Quotes

I feel there are too many quotes, be aware of WP:QUOTEFARM. Most often they are not helpful to the reader.

The following quotes have little or no encyclopedic value, please remove them:
- Bankes expressed that she was in "disbelief" following her exit, called it the "worst race of [her] season" and said she was struggling to explain what had happened. We want to focus on the events and minimize the personal input. Done
- Bankes posted on Instagram: "Gutted and frustrated to finish the season like this." Done
- Afterwards, she stated: "It's great to be enjoying snowboarding again, to be pain free." Done

External links

There are a bit too many without adding value:

Do we need the French versions? The wikitext is tricky, as bar the Olympics, they seem to all be generated by a single sports list template.
- [AC] I see the issue.
Charlotte Bankes on Instagram remove per WP:PROMO Done The editor who added this quoted WP:ELMINOFFICIAL

"either switch or stop snowboarding." provide citation to support the quote Done It was supported by the next ref but it should have been done at the end of the sentence so fixed.

Thanks for the review. I've fixed most of the points.Canary757 (talk) 06:55, 12 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
