[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Megan Rapinoe, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 03:11, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
Megan Rapinoe
[edit]Regarding your addition to Megan Rapinoe:
When the roster for the 2022 SheBelieves Cup was revealed, Rapinoe and her fellow soccer player, Alex Morgan, were absent from the list. This seemed abnormal, since both women are known for their abilities both on and off of the field. While they are not the only two accomplished players from the USWNT team that have won two FIFA World Cups and won gold in the 2012 London Olympics, they are the most recognizable. This left fans to wonder whether or not the Rapinoe-Morgan era was over.
The first sentence seems fine, if the sources support. The subsequent are written as if wp:original research (OR) or as if a wp:quote. If it is OR or synthesis, it doesn't belong in the article. If it is a quote, it needs to be formatted as such. If it a rewording of the sources, it needs to be in an encyclopedic wp:TONE. See wp:Simplified Manual of Style, wp:Manual of Style, MOS:QUOTE. If you have questions, I would suggest asking at the wp:Teahouse.
Please leave no newlines or spaces between the final period "." and the "<" of the reference. Cheers Adakiko (talk)
