Ashley Null

... that Olympic team chaplain Ashley Null credits his work counseling elite athletes on performance-based anxiety to his scholarly research on the Protestant Reformation?

Source: 'Nonetheless, for the past 40 years he has been attending elite competitions at the request of various athletes. The Games in Paris will be his sixth Olympics. When I ask what his academic studies could possibly offer a sports star, he laughs and explains that the Reformation was “the recovery of the gospel, and the gospel is the antidote to performance-based identity”. Who, more than anyone else, he asks, needs to know that their achievements aren’t the basis of their relationship with God, or their hope for wholeness?' https://www.premierchristianity.com/interviews/elite-sports-chaplain-ashley-null-the-gospel-is-the-antidote-to-performance-based-identity/17948.article

I will review this. Butterdiplomat (talk) 14:04, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Looks great to me, but welcome a second opinion given this is my first ever review. The only question I have is whether the Reformation referenced in the hook should be Protestant Reformation or English Reformation (Null’s specialty and referenced earlier in the interview). Since the source appears to be referring to the broader movement, I think Protestant Reformation is correct but welcome a second opinion. Butterdiplomat (talk) 15:12, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

This article, created on 5 Feb, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, with no copyvio or blp violations apparent to me. No QPQ needed. @Butterdiplomat: I agree, Protestant Reformation seems right. However, @Dclemens1971: there's nothing about performance-based anxiety in the citation, so we'd have to change the hook to:

Otherwise, good to go. Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 16:08, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm good with the alternate hook, Tenpop421. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:45, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Alright, good to go. Tenpop421 (talk) 14:47, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
