Policy compliance:

- Other problems:

Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- For DYK, all of the information in the hook fact needs to be stated and cited in the Wikipedia article. You don't mention, for example, that she was 20 at the time. So you need to expand the sentence in the article, "At the time of nomination, they were also the youngest ever leading actress nominee for a British Academy Television Award." - Interesting:

- Other problems:
- The hook should also make it clear whether she is the youngest ever nominee in any category or the youngest ever nominee in that category. e.g. ALT1 that Bella Ramsey (pictured) was 20 years old when they were nominated for the 70th BAFTA TV Awards, making them the youngest ever nominee for Leading Actress?

Article promoted to GA on January 5 and nominated shortly thereafter, so newness is satisfied. QPQ not required. Work needed for hook. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 15:29, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
- I don't know if it helps, but I considered drivebying this after seeing this at GA, and would have nominated with the hook
ALT2: ... that the youngest two-time Emmy lead drama actress nominee (pictured) considered withdrawing from consideration?, possibly with "on principle" at the end.--Launchballer 18:28, 6 January 2026 (UTC)- Thanks both. Can I then suggest two options.
ALT3: that Bella Ramsey (pictured) became the youngest person ever to be nominated for a BAFTA Leading Actress award in 2024.(see below)ALT4: that Bella Ramsey (pictured) became the youngest person ever to be nominated twice for a Primetime Emmy Leading Actress award in 2025.(see below) Crp74 (talk) 10:08, 9 January 2026 (UTC)- @Crp74: Pretty much any variation on a hook gets a new ALT number, so I've renumbered these as Alt3 and Alt4 and added the appropriate formatting for her name (also indenting to make it easier for reviewers to find the new alts). I've struck out ALT and ALT1 as being less desirable phrasings. How do you feel about ALT2? As the person who nominated the article, you can support it or not. I think it might work better if rephrased. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 14:08, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
- The two related sentences in the Wikipedia article will still need to be edited to add those dates, since the dates aren't stated in those sentences currently. Also the sentence about the British Academy Television Award should include (BAFTA) to match the term used in ALT3. I know this may seem nitpicky, but it's part of the requirements for DYK to make sure that hook facts and sourcing match closely. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 13:58, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
- Ah OK thanks. I don't support ALT2 as Ramsey has since clarified their views on gendered award titles. So that fact would be out of date. I've changed the award title to BAFTA so I have the following options for you to consider:
- ALT5: that Bella Ramsey (pictured) is currently the youngest person ever to be nominated for a BAFTA Leading Actress award?
- ALT6: that Bella Ramsey (pictured) is currently the youngest person ever to be nominated twice for a Primetime Emmy Leading Actress award?Crp74 (talk) 14:28, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

Good work, @Crp74: I've struck ALT2 to reflect your objections and left the versions (renumbered as ALT5 and ALT6) above that you approve and that now meet the hook requirements. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 14:52, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks @Mary Mark Ockerbloom:. Let me know if I need to do anything else. Of the options I think probably ALT6 is better as the Emmys are more widely known and more highly regarded. Thanks again.Crp74 (talk) 22:21, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

Bella Ramsey
Hi. I'm submitting this GA for FAC following a peer review. Ramsey is a notable actor whose Wikipedia page receives over 4 million views per year. I believe this meets FA standard but am looking forward to any comments and suggestions editors have. Thanks, Crp74 (talk) 14:31, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

CTD
- "They[a] are known for their breakthrough roles as young noblewoman Lyanna Mormont in the HBO fantasy television series Game of Thrones (2016–2019), and as Ellie" - don't think that comma is needed
- Maybe link football in the early life section so that US readers don't think it's that game that they
incorrectlyrefer to as football - That's all I got up to 2022. I'll come back and do the rest later -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:23, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks v much @ChrisTheDude. I've made those changes. Crp74 (talk) 12:59, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
- In all the tables, anything that starts with "The" should sort based on the next word in the title
- Similarly, roles which have an actual surname should sort based on that rather than the forename
- Those are the only other things I found -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:06, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks @ChrisTheDude. Can I just check I've interpreted your comments correctly. The tables are sorted chronologically, but are you saying that for a particular year the works should be in alphabetical order (ignoring 'The')? So for example, for Television 2020 the order should be His Dark..., Shepherd's..., Summer Camp... etc.? I also wasn't sure what you meant by your comment on the roles. Could you provide an example? Crp74 (talk) 13:18, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
- No, it's not to do with how the items are presented within any given year. What I mean is that if the reader uses the little icon at the top of the "title" column on, say, the Film table to sort that entire column into alphabetical order, "The Correction Unit" should sort under C, not T. In the TV table, "The Last of Us" should sort under L, not T. Similarly, if the name listed in the "role" column has an actual surname, then it should sort alphabetically based on the surname, so, for example, Mildred Hubble should sort under H, not M. Obviously if the role only has a forename then it's OK to leave it sorting under that. All of this can be accomplished using the {{sort}} template, so for example, instead of writing [[Mildred Hubble]], write {{sort|Hubble|[[Mildred Hubble]]}}. Hope that helps! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:34, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
- Aha, I see. Many thanks @ChrisTheDude. Will do so. Crp74 (talk) 10:05, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
- I think I've made all the changes needed @ChrisTheDude. To be clear I haven't changed the song title "The Life of Hilda" or "The Last of Us Season 2" in the Discography section. Let me know if that is correct. Thanks Crp74 (talk) 10:30, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Hawkeye7 (discuss) 02:31, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
- Many thanks @Hawkeye7. I couldn't find a reliable source that states Ramsey voiced Freya in Doctor Who Infinity. Only fan wikis support it. Given this should I delete the entry or should I add a [citation needed] flag? Crp74 (talk) Crp74 (talk) 10:41, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
- I suggest removal. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:43, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
- Would this ref work?
...joining them is Bella Ramsey, who voices new villain Freya in the game
-- ZooBlazer 19:52, 27 February 2026 (UTC)- Many thanks @ZooBlazer! This is the official BBC studios website for Doctor Who so I think this works as a reliable source. Great find! Crp74 (talk) 10:24, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
- Support Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:57, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
- No problem. Don't forget to italicize the game's title in the ref. -- ZooBlazer 08:47, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

Some comments on sources, will add more on the text later:
- Make capitalization style for the titles of the references consistent (either all sentence case or all title case).
- All changed to sentence case. Thanks.
- Ref 35: If it's the official YouTube channel it's fine, but if it's a fansite (like it seems to be) then it should be replaced.
- Have replaced with a YT interview with Ramsey and others. Let me know if this works.
- Yes, it's fine.
- Have replaced with a YT interview with Ramsey and others. Let me know if this works.
- Ref 48: Definitely seems unreliable, unless these YouTubers are proven notable and reliable in some way. Also attribute those quotes in the sentence.
- I've removed the marginally reliable source and attributed the remaining quote to Mark Kermode who is one of the UK's most highly regarded film critics
- Ref 79: Link doesn't work + WP:UGC website, should be replaced.
- Thanks. Have removed and changed NME source to better match fact in text.
- Ref 91: Link Rolling Stone UK.
- Done. Thanks
- Ref 132: Site is WP:UGC and thus unreliable.
- Removed. Thanks.
- This is just a suggestion, but I would avoid heavy use of Decider and Valnet sources such as Screen Rant. They are considered marginally reliable for entertainment coverage, but I've found them to be pretty spotty and sometimes clickbaity. For reviews, if you go on the film's page on Rotten Tomatoes and filter by Top Critics, you'll find lots of useful links to Variety, The New York Times, Associated Press and the likes.
- Agree. But I've only used them when there are no more reliable sources available. That's because the reviews are for Ramsey's early and less widely known TV work like The Worst Witch and Hilda and so not covered by the more reliable sources you mention.
- I understand in those cases, but I'd replace Collider (Valnet source), since it seems pretty doable in most instances (for example, I'd replace their review of The Last of Us).
- Agree. But I've only used them when there are no more reliable sources available. That's because the reviews are for Ramsey's early and less widely known TV work like The Worst Witch and Hilda and so not covered by the more reliable sources you mention.
- Make the use of Oxford commas consistent, or remove it.
- Good spot thanks. Have removed all cases.
- This is a nitpick, but is there any reason why the networks for all television series are included in the lead? Doesn't seem that important.
- No reason I can see so I have removed.
- "Isabella May Ramsey was born in Nottingham on 25 September 2003." — Nottingham, England,
- Done.
- "Season" should be replaced with "series", since the article uses British English. I'm not an expert on the differences between varieties of English, so I'm not sure if there other issues relating to it.
- Done for all cases (and used show when the two meanings of series are close to one another).
- "For their role, Ramsey was selected for the 2023 BAFTA Breakthrough program, which highlights emerging talent in film, television, and games." — Link Breakthrough Brits, I'd also remove the program's description.
- Done. Thanks.
- "They occasionally eat free-range eggs, as their allergy to peas restricts their use of pea-based protein products, which are common in vegan diets." — Such details feel like WP:FANCRUFT.
- If OK I would like to keep as this is the reason Ramsey is not fully vegan. So I think it's an important addition?
- Imo we don't need details of Ramsey's diet or reasons why they chose that diet, but I won't press the issue.
- If OK I would like to keep as this is the reason Ramsey is not fully vegan. So I think it's an important addition?
- This is just a suggestion, but I think the Personal life section and its subsections should be condensed for conciseness. An example: "condemning "pinkwashing", and pledging to "stand firmly with [Palestinians] in their call for dignity and self-determination" and boycott Israel" — do we need a play-by-play of this letter, which was not even written by Ramsey themselves?
- Thanks. I've shortened the section using commenting to retain existing text in case future editors think I've removed something important!
- "Ramona (age 15; voice)" — Is there any reason why age here is specified?
- Yes. Two other actors play the character at other ages.
- "BBC Radio 4 episode: "Edith Sitwell in Scarborough"" — Is there any reason why the station here is specified?
- No. Have removed. Thanks.
- "Girlband!" — Musical groups' names are not usually italicized.
- Thanks. Have changed.
- "Matt Maltese song; credited as Bello" — Is Ramsey credited as a featuring artist or main artist? Unclear here.
- Have made it clear this is a duet which hopefully covers this.
- Why are the titles of award categories in sentence case? From my experience, they are written in title case in most reliable sources.
- Thanks. Good spot. Have changed.
I've also tweaked the prose in a few places to address some really minor issues. Poirot09 (talk) 18:22, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- Many thanks Poirot09! Crp74 (talk) 21:27, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Wehwalt
- Many thanks @Wehwalt! I've added my replies below.
- I don't really understand the structure of the lead. Can you explain it?
- While I wasn't involved with putting the lead together, I think it is supposed to follow the standard model for biographies: i.e. the first part identifies Ramsey and their notability; the next part summarises their major roles and critical reception; and the final part briefly notes other key aspects of their career with any relevant awards/recognition. I think this functions as a concise summary of the body per WP:LEAD and the featured article criteria on being well-written and comprehensive in summary form, but I’m very happy to adjust the ordering or emphasis if there are particular points that seem unclear or out of proportion.
- If you are making a point of Ramsey's performance at age 11, it might be useful to know how old the character is supposed to be.
- According to Wiki of Westeros, Lady Mormont is either aged 10 or 11 in GoT season 6, so the same age as Ramsey. I've added 'young noblewoman' to the opening sentence which hopefully covers it?
- "best Young Performer" Is this capped correctly?
- I'm sort of concerned that an article about such a young performer will require a lot of re-writing, and resifting of emphasis, as there is more to write about, but don't see it as an actionable item. It is something to think about, perhaps.
- Yes, understood. It's definitely something I'm aware of. In particular I'll make sure Ramsey's views on the issues covered in the article are kept up to date.
Octave
- Many thanks @UpTheOctave!! I've added my replies below
Some additional notes on sources:
- Sharf (9 January 2023), BBC (17 March 2020), and "Impact Winter" (19 March 2022) are dead
- I've replaced Sharf with the original EW interview where Ramsey was quoted, and IA bot has provided archive links to the other two sources
- Refs 50 and 170 are duplications of Business Insider (22 March 2023)
- Thanks. Have linked so both are now 50.
- Agreed with the above with regards to Screen Rant, Decider, but I'd go one step further: what makes these, in addition to Pride, Us Weekly and Collider, "high quality" sources as required by the FA criteria?
- I think I’ve only drawn on Pride, Collider, Screen Rant, Decider and Us Weekly for Ramsey’s earlier work, and even there only to supplement primary sources (for example, Pride for Requiem). I’m using them alongside links to the works themselves so that readers can verify the info and also find the underlying material.
- For Screen Rant, WP:RSP summarises consensus that it is “marginally reliable”, usable for entertainment-related topics but not for controversial statements about living persons. I have only used it for non-contentious points about roles and reception, in line with that guidance, and it is similarly used in the FA on Chris Pratt.
- So overall, I think the sourcing is consistent with FA criteria, but I’m happy to trim or replace any specific cites you feel go beyond that scope.
- Inconsistent use of archives, suggest running the IA bot
- Have run the IA bot which made 2 changes (see page history)
- queerartistsforpalestine.org should be rendered in words, like "Queer Artists for Palestine", since a url is usually not a webpage's title
- Thanks. Have replaced with correct website title.
- The double quotes in the title of Thomas (17 December 2023) and Salisbury (13 February 2026) should be reduced to single
- Thanks. Have corrected.
- LeftLion should have italics in the title of O'Riordan and White (31 March 2023), as should Becoming Elizabeth and Catherine Called Birdy in the relevant Metacritic sources
- Thanks. Done.
- "Talks at Google" should be part of the source title in "Jesse Eisenberg, Bella Ramsey & Jonathan Jakubowicz | Resistance" (17 December 2020)
- Have changed to be consistent with new template as per your next comment.
- Suggest using a consistent formatting and template choice for YouTube video interviews
- Thanks. Have done so using AV media guidance.
- Why is Turtle Journey not in italics in Greenpeace UK (14 January 2020)?
- Thanks, have corrected.
Thanks, UpTheOctave! • 8va? 19:59, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks again @UpTheOctave!. Let me know of any changes you want me to make. Crp74 (talk) 16:12, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- I respect your rationales, but they don't justify the fundamentals of why we should use these sources in particular. The way I see it, outlets noted for
marginal reliab[ility]
(Screen Rant, Pride.com, and Decider),no consensus on the[ir] reliability
(Us Weekly), orchurnalism
(Collider) are unlikely to be themost appropriate
orbest available
sources for supporting their relevant content. When we look at what's actually being supported by the references...- Refs 23 (Decider) and 24 (Screen Rant) support a single statement together –
Critics commended Ramsey's performance as a demonstration of their versatility and willingness to adapt to different characters
. This means that it would be a relatively painless removal if required. In any case, consider the phrasing of this: are two critics writing for okay-at-best sources a representative sample of "critics" as a whole? At the very least, these should be attributed to the source in-text, like is done with the source you mention at Chris Pratt.
- That's a fair challenge. I've removed the sentence and thus the sources.
- Ref 30 (Decider) is used twice for simple statements of roles Ramsey played. I find it difficult to believe that other higher-quality sources don't discuss this: what about IGN?
- Thanks for pointing to IGN. I hadn't come across that site before. I've removed Decider and added an IGN source for Hilda and TV Guide (a perennial reliable source) for Hilda and the Mountain King.
- Ref 41 (Pride.com) is a similar affair: what about LeftLion?
- Many thanks for the alternative source. Have used it in place of Pride. Now I've found TV Guide I've added that as well.
- Ref 43 (Decider) is probably fine given that it is attributed, but preference should naturally be given to any higher-quality sources if they exist.
- I've checked again and I can't find any reviews from more reliable sources.
- Ref 77 (Collider) is redundant to the El País source and can be easily removed by changing the in-text attribution.
- Thanks. I have removed it as suggested.
- Ref 155 (Us Weekly) could be replaced, as with others: CNN?
- Many thanks! Have changed. Useful to know foreign language sources are fine.
- Ref 156 (Collider) can probably stay unless higher-quality sourcing is found.
- Thanks. TV Guide does have it under Ramsey's page but it doesn't give the age of the character.

Question on FAC statistics tool: counting supports
- I'm not an expert in the FAC tools, but I remember someone once said that support should be indicated by either (a) boldface word "support" in the review body text; or (b) the word "support" in the subsection title. But not both. I'm looking in Wikipedia:FACSUPPORTOPPOSE and I don't see that guideline, so maybe my memory is faulty. Anyway: looks like an excellent article ... I just want to make sure that the support/oppose counting tool does not get confused. Noleander (talk) 20:00, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
Comment by Howardcorn33
- Is the pronunciation info on their last name really needed in the lead? Ramsey is already a commonly known name and its spelling shouldn't throw anyone off. ―Howard • 🌽33 14:46, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @Howardcorn33. There are two common pronounciations of the surname Ramsey in the UK: RAM-ZEE and RAM-SAY. The latter variation is often used in Scotland where the 'ay' sounds like "say" rather than "zee" There may well be other pronounciations in other countries as well. .Crp74 (talk) 22:10, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
- In that case please provide a citation for the pronunciation currently given in the article. ―Howard • 🌽33 22:22, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
- Have done so. Thanks @Howardcorn33. Crp74 (talk) 15:30, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Spot check
Of this version:
- 6 OK
- 20 The Winds of Winter is not the series finale and I am not sure that the source is actually talking about that episode.
- Thanks. Good spot. The Radio Times source is in fact redundant so I have removed. The Winds of Winter is the sixth series final episode.
- 40 OK, but I wonder what makes this a reliable source.
- Thanks. Have replaced with reliable source.
- 46 OK
- 49 OK
- 51 OK
- 67 Quote needed
- Have added quote to reference
- 81 "confident" and "transfixing"?
- Thanks. Good spot. Have swapped order.
- 87 OK
- 97 How did you get that information from the source?
- I watched a selection of the videos. It's mostly reflections on the bible. But Ramsey also plays songs from time to time.
- 104 Where is "the easy, everyday tasks that everyone else seems to be able to do"?
- It's in the para that starts "Their autism..".
- 125 OK
- 142 OK
- 161 OK
- 162 Can't find it.
- It's archived?
- 166 Where are they linked to Whisper?
- Thanks. Have replaced with source that links Ramsey with Whisper name.
- 167 OK
- 182 OK
- 186 OK
- 187 OK

- Thanks very much @Jo-Jo Eumerus. I think I have pushed through all these changes. Let me know if I need to do anything more. Best, Crp74 (talk) 16:20, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
- OK, I see the problem with 104 (now 105): The article has an extra comma which must be removed for a quote. 162's archive also doesn't have the information. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:39, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks @Jo-Jo Eumerus. For 104 (now 105) I've removed the additional comma to match the original quote and have replaced the dead link for 162 (now 163) with a live BBC link. Best, Crp74 (talk) 09:49, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
- 162 (now 165) still doesn't list them. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:49, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @Jo-Jo Eumerus. If it is the Edith Sitwell reference you are referring to then Ramsey is listed, you just need to click on 'Show more' after the opening paragraph. Best, Crp74 (talk) 09:53, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

- Hi Jo-Jo:
- 1. Is this a pass for the spot check?
- 2. It doesn't look as if a regular source review has been carried out. Do you fancy taking that on?
- Cheers. Gog the Mild (talk) 15:12, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
- 1 yes 2 don't have time for it, sorry. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:27, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
Support Ãrticle is quite detailed and sourced, only thing that bothered me were the redlinks, but maybe the other actresses can get articles. igordebraga ≠ 18:53, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

- Early life
- Ramsey was raised in Leicestershire and began their education there.
- You could avoid naming Ramsey at the start of three consecutive sentences.
- Growing up, Ramsey enjoyed art, music, writing and football and performed with local amateur theatre groups, including Stagecoach in Loughborough.
- How about inserting a comma before "and performed" to separate the two main clauses?
- "Flexible online programme allowed Ramsey to balance their studies with their acting career" → "The flexible online programme allowed Ramsey to balance their studies with acting"
A fine article to start off with. Thank you for the "Use British English" template (it helps). More to follow. MSincccc (talk) 04:33, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks @MSincccc. I've pushed those comments through, the first I think was already done. Best, Crp74 (talk) 09:56, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- Career
- "debut in the sixth season episode" → "debut in the sixth-season episode"
- British English prefers the hyphenated version in these cases, but I leave it to you.
- "experienced a further career breakthrough" → "had a career breakthrough" or “achieved a breakthrough”
- "Further" feels redundant here.
- Critics praised the chemistry between Ramsey and Pascal as well as their individual performances.[53][54][55]
- Isn't this more or less the same as the image caption?
MSincccc (talk) 08:24, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks @MSincccc. I've pushed through the first two changes. The caption was written by a very experienced Wikipedia editor so I'm reluctant to change it. Let me know if you are happy for it to remain as is. Best, Crp74 (talk) 10:13, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- Personal life
- "themself" → "themselves"
- "they were vegan for a number of years, having been raised as pescatarian" → "having been raised pescatarian, they were vegan for several years"
- Smoother? I leave it to you.
- They support the organisation's artistic and fundraising work, including endorsing Eye of the Storm,...
- You could drop "including" here.
- Bottom line
- A fine article, and I look forward to making my declaration. I myself have a fashion article listed at PR, if you have the time. Cheers. MSincccc (talk) 16:03, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
Source review
Found the time for it, after all. So: Lots of news media and magazine sources where I have to assume that they are "high quality" sources. Is https://web.archive.org/web/20250725054828/https://kingsinterhigh.co.uk/gcse-online/articles/bella-ramsey/ a reliable source for an interview? What makes Foyle River Films, https://theastras.com/a-complete-list-of-the-2025-astra-tv-awards-nominations/ and LeftLion a reliable source? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:36, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
- Bearing in mind that at FAC all sources need to be "high quality" (criterion 1c) as well as reliable, a higher bar. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:39, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
- Aye, but as noted at Wikipedia talk:Featured article candidates/archive98#What makes a source "high quality"? it can be easier said than done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 11:24, 29 March 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @Jo-Jo Eumerus and @Gog the Mild. Not sure whether you wanted me to reply to this conversation. But if so, just wanted to say that I think I've only used sources like King's InterHigh and Left Lion to cover Ramsey's very early interviews before they were covered in reliable sources like Variety, Hollywood Reporter etc. And I've been careful to only use Ramsey's own words (or very close summaries). And sources like Foyle River Films (again Ramsey talking) and Astras are primary sources when I couldn't find reliable secondary sources. Best, Crp74 (talk) 13:16, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
- Jo-Jo ? Gog the Mild (talk) 13:37, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
- Pass. I guess we could press on the HQRS point but I think that would call many if not most of our pop culture FAs into question (if the challenge is sustained) or waste time (if not); not something I'll do in one lone FAC and it's not a very strong objection anyway.

apologies if i'm reporting this wrong, i literally just joined a few minutes ago because i noticed an instance of 'her' being used instead of 'they' and wanted to change it but obviously i can't. if someone could please point me to where i should post this stuff if i see more before i'm allowed to change it myself i would appreciate it, thank you!! 🙏🏻 the error i noticed is under 'advocacy' - "[Her] involvement helped encourage young people and promote the award across schools in the UK" should be [they] Capitallettersonfirstnamessuck (talk) 07:41, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
