5x expanded by ResolutionsPerMinute (talk). Self-nominated at 18:35, 22 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Hi ResolutionsPerMinute, you should use the DYKCHECK script to identify readable prose size. However, it does not quite work with articles that shrank a long time ago and then grew, and this is one of them. The last revision before your work starting June 15 was 1235 bytes RPS. The current version is 6801 bytes RPS (5.5x), so you satisfy this criterion. Second nomination, so no QPQ required. The hook fact checks out and there are no issues apart from the following that require repair before this page is promoted. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:55, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The paragraph starting Irish singer Samantha Mumba needs to end in an inline citation, as does the description of the music video.
There is a citation needed template in the Release history table.

@Sammi Brie: Thank you for directing me to the script. Yes, I admit I may have snubbed Mumba's subsection completely, but I've taken care of the issues you've pointed out to the best of my ability. I also removed that uncited date in the release history table. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 01:15, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ResolutionsPerMinute: One down, one to go. Thanks for the prompt reply. I meant that that first paragraph needed to end in a citation, not specifically that sentence. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:18, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sammi Brie: Okay, I've added the proper sources. Any other comments? ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 01:25, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's now good! Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:36, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
