The third paragraph under Career needs a citation at the end. The LinkedIn source can only be used if it specifically references who referred to him as playing the saxophone within the article. However, that is clunky, and I recommend removing the source entirely. Why do you need four references for that one fact? It can be knocked down to one source. Otherwise, the article is long enough, new enough, and neutral with no copyright violations. SL93 (talk) 22:10, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I agree with your criticism and I'll make those changes accordingly. US Referee (talk) 19:54, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- In the third paragraph under Career, I relied on sources within the linked articles, i.e. match reports for the matches Chilowicz refereed. His name appears in the linked articles next to a "Report" link that I figure to be the sources for these statements. I suppose I can just use those same sources in this article, but I thought that would likely be superfluous. US Referee (talk) 20:36, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- US Referee It looks good except for one issue. The source does not say that he "refereed his first competitive match between senior national teams". If that cannot be sourced, it can also be removed from the article and then I can approve it. SL93 (talk) 21:01, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- SL93 I thought this could be inferred by the fact that Chilowicz's international experience was strictly with CONCACAF and there is no counter-example, but I understand your point. Chilowicz's page at Soccerway (heretofore linked in External links) does indicate that this was his first and only such match. I've added it as a reference after that sentence.

- AirshipJungleman29 This is one of the oldest approved nominations. Is there something that you think is wrong or needs fixing? I'm pinging you because you're one of the main promoters, as we don't have many. SL93 (talk) 19:53, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know if anything needs fixing, but we had the Olympics for much of the past month which greatly reduced the opportunities for sports hooks, and I've been less active after it finished. The hook itself is mildly interesting to me, if that's the concern. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:59, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
