  • Hi Sims2aholic8, review follows: article promoted to GA on 17 March; article exceeds minimum length; I didn't find an issue with overly close paraphrasing in a spot check on sources; article is cited inline throughout to what appear to be reliable sources for this subject; I've just got a couple of queries on the hooks:
  • ALT0: I think it should be "future Atomic Kitten member" not "former Atomic Kitten member", the latter could be read as that she had been the Atomic Kitten before Eurovision
  • ALT1: There's some inconsistency in dates. The Telegraph article which is one of the sources used states she joined in 2000, I presume we are happy this is an error as the Belfast Telegraph article states 2001? Our article currently says "The group eventually disbanded in 2001: Jenny Frost became a member of British girl group Atomic Kitten", which isn't specific as to when she joined Atomic Kitten
A QPQ has been carried out. Image is freely licensed, used in the article and appropriate. Just my queries on the hooks, but otherwise this one is looking good - Dumelow (talk) 09:06, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Thanks Dumelow. Happy to go with "future" over "former" for ALT0, hadn't considered that point before. For ALT1, yes I believe the Telegraph article is an error, going by the Atomic Kitten and "Whole Again" articles (the last single under Kerry Katona, who Frost replaced, which was released in January 2001).

Thanks Sims2aholic8, I've made the change to ALT0 and added a little to the sentence in the article to clarify that Frost joined Atomic Kitten in 2001. Good to go wqith either ALT - Dumelow (talk) 07:31, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
