Ways to improve Maximilian Ortner

Hello, Tone,

Thank you for creating Maximilian Ortner.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

The article, as it stands, does not include "at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources." which is a must have according to WP:SPORTCRIT

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|SunloungerFrog}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Fair enough, I added two focused articles from the Austrian media. That should do. Tone 07:04, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much Tone. I've marked the article as reviewed. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 08:29, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal

Hello again Tone. I'm not going to draftify the article or template you with a newbie message again, but please would you include a decent news report or two about the guy as sources in Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal so that the article meets WP:SPORTCRIT, and then I can mark it as reviewed. I did find [1] but it seems a bit trite and [2] is still under investigation so I don't think it's appropriate to use at this stage. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 20:24, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some. That suit manipulation thing was huge and widely reported and all team got a temporary suspension, so it is fine to be included. Tone 06:42, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
