@陈佳宇090905: Article long enough and I don't find significant copyvio. QPQ is done and hook in interesting - but I'm concerned about the emphasis on Shardea. Maybe reword the paragraphs in order to de-emphasize on her a bit? For example, "When she was 23 she decided to gather the support [...]" → "During her studies, the 23-year old Shardea decided to gather the support [...]", etc. At this state it kind of looks like a biography article.

@Juxlos: Yes it does a bit but this is a very small country with a single person who has made the news significantly and a couple of others who are Paralympians who have stories too. This is a DYK article not a C class or a GA. It isn't intended to be a rounded treatment of the subject. Feel free to delete the bits you find unimportant or convert it to a biography (but I suspect there is not enough to make the biography that you say you see here). Victuallers (talk) 13:40, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not saying to delete stuff, just to rephrase it a little to de-emphasize on her self and more on her actions. Juxlos (talk) 13:47, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Too late. I have de-emphasised her. Victuallers (talk) 15:24, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, good to go then I suppose. Juxlos (talk) 15:47, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
