Comment: In addition to the other comment, is their last/first name not capitalized even at the beginning of a sentence? If so, like it has been stated before, you should clarify. UserMemer (chat) Tribs 17:22, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Is their name stylised in lower case deliberately? That's fine if so, but should be specified. -- NotCharizard 🗨 09:13, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
