Lead, info box, and early life

Nicely written sections. :)

Career

2010-11:

2012: Ok.

2013: Ok.

2014: Ok.

2015: 2015:

  • After the European Championships, his coach announced Whitlock would take a break from training to recover, during which he also cancelled any public appearances and stopped using social media. – Looking at the ref, I don't see anything about a social media break (although after tweeting that he resumed training, it's clear that he did take break). :)
    I couldn't find a source that he was off social media, so I just took that part out. -Riley1012 (talk) 00:28, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2016: Ok.

2017: Ok.

2018:

  • However, an error in his routine on the pommel horse caused him to finish seventh in the event final. – Going through the source, I don't see anything about Whitlock finishing 7th?
  • "Whitlock, 25, was seventh at the European Championships in Glasgow." -Riley1012 (talk) 00:28, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2019: Ok.

2021:

  • The team took fourth place with a score of 255.76 – I don't see any final results listed in the ref?

2022-23:

  • Whitlock took 18 months off from training – I can see ref 76 says 10 months while ref 77 says 18.
  • I can't figure out this discrepancy, so I just changed the language to "took over one year off from training", is that fine? -Riley1012 (talk) 00:28, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • During the pommel horse final, Whitlock fell and finished fifth. – I don’t see any mention of Whitlock placing 5th in the reference?
  • Added source that mentions the 5th place finish -Riley1012 (talk) 00:28, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Awards and honours

  • Whitlock finished seventh in the public vote for the 2014, 2015, and 2016 BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards. - It looks like Whitlock was 8th in 2015.

Personal life

  • Their first child, a daughter named Willow, was born on 23 February 2019 - It doesn’t look like the actual birthday of Whitlock’s daughter is cited in ref 89 unless I’m missing something? It does say February 2019 though. :)

Competitive history

Ok.

Overall comments

This article is well written and very close to

GA level. :) Thank you for nominating the article Riley1012! There are just some small issues (or questions) related to a couple of references. Let me know how it goes. :) MovieTalk101178 (talk) 01:19, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply
