  • Impressive article! I know how difficult it can be to write articles on notable women. Article is new enough and long enough, within policy, and QPQ is done. Some of the sources are self-published, but the information they support is not controversial. Two things I'm not clear on:
1)under "2012-2013": "In 2012, Sims released a music and teaching series called Dirty Little Secrets, featured on Lecrae's mixtape Church Clothes and contributed song-writing to his album Gravity." I see that "No Regrets" is on the Gravity album, but I don't see how that track is part of her "Dirty Little Secrets."
2)The article says that "Gurl Code" was released on Oct. 22nd, but the sources say it would be released on Oct. 1st.
About the hooks: I added an additional in-line citation for the fact that Sims helped with "Work," just to be sure the information is cited right after the information. For ALT 1, the information comes from more than one or two sentences in the article, and each part is supported by in-line citations, so I approve both hooks after the above concerns are addressed.

Rachel Helps (BYU), I've done some edits to the article. With problem 1, I added "and" - Dirty Little Secrets was released, and she featured on two Lecrae albums. The sentence now reads "In 2012, Sims released a music and teaching series called Dirty Little Secrets, and featured on Lecrae's mixtape Church Clothes and contributed song-writing to his album Gravity." With problem 2, I added a citation to the iTunes product listing, which has the correct date. I was having trouble with the link, so if it doesn't work right, I'll try something else. But, things should be good to go now.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 04:17, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Agreed. I approve both hooks and the nomination in general, per above. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:30, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but do not see anything in the sources given about the album sales being in the US. I took "US" out of the article, but you can put it back if you find a source. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:52, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Thanks. The song certifications mentioned in the article are from the RIAA, which is US-based. But I don't know if the certifications are based on US figures only, or global, so that was a good catch. I've reworded the hook below.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 03:31, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
Scratch all that. RIAA certifications are based on US domestic and military outpost sales. So the one million copies is in the US alone.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 03:37, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
Yoninah, is this satisfactory?--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 04:58, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
  • Yes, it is. Restoring tick per Rachel Help's review. Yoninah (talk) 11:22, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
