Comment: This appears to primarily reference the London Sake Challenge. It should refer to all Sake Challenges not just one event. Lacks inline citations, without which this is mostly original research. Dan arndt (talk) 04:39, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Half of the article is unsourced. The external links at the end are extremely spammy. Have you considered cutting the amount down? ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 00:34, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Guidance to the author has been given on my talk page and I've made some corrections to the work. You already have a good list of articles to work from, so follow the advice of WP:BACKWARD in your writing from here on out. Please continue to write the draft by describing the topic and not promoting any group or events, by writing about what sources have to say about the topic.

- Comment: Wikipedia, as user-generated content, cannot be used as a reliable source. Instead, demonstrate what WP:Independent and WP:Secondary sources has said about the subject. Bobby Cohn (talk) 21:50, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
