[edit]Article in need of update - she plays for Indiana Fever now, not Iowa Hawkeyes! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:6511:3004:3171:34CD:3644:592B (talk • contribs)

Early Life
[edit]Due to the large amount of online discussion about Caitlin's gender at birth, I think it would be beneficial to add the following to the "Early Life" section, confirming that Caitlin was born a female: The birth announcement for a daughter born the previous Tuesday (22 January 2002) to Anne Nizzi-Clark and Brent Clark of Des Moines was published in The Des Moines Register on Tuesday, 29 January, 2002 on page 58.

Misspelling
[edit]I am not sure how to notify of editing but under personal life when it talks about Clark being Catholic, it says her brother Blake reminds or urges sister “Caitlyn” to attend mass, etc.
Her name is spelled incorrectly. It caught my eye, though because the entire entry only refers to her as “Clark” after the opening stats. Her first and last name also appear under one image. So for it to say that brother Blake reminds “Caitlyn” causes it to stick out because of the misspelling and because it didn’t simply say “her” or “Clark” as it does throughout the entry.
The reason I came to read about her is because I saw Bill Maher and guests commenting on how her teammates don’t seem to be helping her up and/or defending her against unsportsmanlike behavior. I was trying to gleen if that is true and if so, if it’s actually due to jealousy or if it’s regarding the idea that women seem to have a lack of loyalty when compared to men in the same situations. He said:
(2 days ago) ”Show host Bill Maher blasts women as "catty" as he calls out WNBA players for not standing up for Caitlin Clark who is getting hit from all angles. Maher said that women don't stand up for each other like men do.”
As a female, I’ve had this discussion before and believe it to be true. There may be one other edit. The new Nike campaign has the first two letters capitalized: “IT”.
Thank you and my apologies if I’ve not presented this through proper means.

Specify that she Caitlin is the all time points leader in NCAA Women's Division 1. The way it is currently written is factually incorrect. Pete Marovich is the ncaa division 1 leader, not Caitlin. 2601:601:A400:48C0:9A63:37E4:690C:8002 (talk) 07:37, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

WNBA Picture
[edit]Could anyone find a usable WNBA picture to use for Caitlin’s Header picture yet? The other top rookies have one now, I think Caitlin needs one now too. DEverything03 (talk) 04:31, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
