  1. Your Wiki article doesn't have the typical Wikipedia formatting for referncing (though you did reference with links.)

    Also, your wiki article confused me as it is out of place with the rest of your persona. I had expected a Wiki article on Science Fiction. I got sports. I read it twice looking for the relevancy to the SciFi realm and didn't find it. This was upsetting to me as your audience.

  2. This Wiki article doesn't seem like you at all. It's about sports. It doesn't follow your sci-fi niche.
