Residence hall

Is it really necessary to list the residence hall she lives in? I don't want to remove sourced material without consensus, but that seems pretty sketchy. 97.102.30.205 (talk) 14:30, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, it’s something that’s relevant to her life at the University of Notre Dame, where students typically live in the same residence hall for all 4 years of college and where that resident hall plays an outsize role in your social life. I personally wouldn’t remove it since it’s sourced and it’s more than trivia when examining her college years. — Mhawk10 (talk) 17:18, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by Mhawk10 (talk). Self-nominated at 05:03, 28 January 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Oh, I went to do a review and did not know that is was an expansion. However I was surprised to see so much info repeated so I removed that as I copy edited. Now I look at the expansion and its 500 or so characters short. Is there more original content? Victuallers (talk) 23:28, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Victuallers: There are some interviews she's granted regarding her educational pursuits. I should be able to add ~500 characters. I can ping you when I get done with this. — Mhawk10 (talk) 00:23, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Victuallers: I think I'm back above the 5x threshold. — Mhawk10 (talk) 01:05, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion fine now. Lots of refs (I think too many, 3 refs and more for one fact?). One of first 5 so no QPQ. I cannot see the refs due to not being in the USA so AGF. Neutrality is OK (unlikely to attract negative comment). No cut and pastes spotted. Nice subject. I boldly changed the first hook to agree with the article. Thank you!

Sounds good. As a heads up, grade school is what the U.S. calls the thing that the UK calls "primary school". — Mhawk10 (talk) 16:18, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Birth date?

Would be good if someone contributed with the birth date. UfoTheUfo (talk) 18:16, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Best I can find is this Tweet from Read Indeed, which indicates a birthday of May 18, 2000. That being said, I'm not exactly comfortable using a tweet to determine the exact day (could be a day late or a day early). But it does help to indicate that the birthday is May 2000. — Mhawk10 (talk) 18:50, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
