@Lewolka

I think we should find a way to rephrase the World IBJFF medalist part. His most significant achievement is being the 2018 World Champ. Putting it as medalist makes it sound like he didn't win gold. And in my opinion it should go at the front.

Also see if you can rename some of the tournament accomplishments in the results summary. The recent edits have triggered WP:COPYVIO flagging. Refer to here

Agree I'm not a big fan of medallist myself unless there are no other accomplishments to list, have changed it. re tournament accomplishments and copyvio I wouldn't worry about it as this section is a listing and not prose. I am more concerned about some of the text that seems to be paraphrasing a bit too much the same source, especially followed by unnecessary WP:REFBOMB. I have reworked the background section, IMO the following section needs the same treatment. Best Lewolka (talk) 14:00, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
