Back Swamp, North Carolina queen...I can relate to the rural NC childhood. Anywho, I'll take a look at this article. APK hi :-) (talk) 23:57, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! Happy to address any concerns you might have. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 00:03, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Lede...

• Maybe mention where she grew up and her being Lumbee in the lede?

Early life...

• I feel like "Early life and education" could be expanded a bit if you have sources. I don't see any mention of Back Swamp, which was always referenced on DR. This source mentions it.

Career...

• her full drag name is constantly used, instead of just Matthews after the first use
  • Yes, this is intentional and consistent with other drag queen articles promoted to Good status. This is because "Matthews" is not a true last name, and in many cases, a drag performer's last name is awkward out of context. For example, we would not refer to Alaska Thunderfuck as "Thunderfuck" throughout, or use "Icunt" as shorthand for Detox Icunt. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:40, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

• "lip sync" is linked twice
  •  Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:40, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

• comma after "challenge"
  •  Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:40, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

• "as well as the roast comedy challenge" ====> "as well as the comedy roast challenge"
  •  Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:40, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

• "interview guests included" ====> "and interviewed guests including" or "interviewing guests including"
  •  Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:40, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Personal life...

• Mention specifically where she's from in NC
  • I've moved mention of Back Swap to the early life section. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:40, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

• link "indigenous" to either Native Americans in the United States or Indigenous peoples of the Americas
  •  Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:40, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

• change the COVID link to COVID-19 pandemic in the United States
  •  Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:40, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Categories...

• add Category:People from Robeson County, North Carolina
  •  Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:40, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Another nice article. Thanks for writing it. APK hi :-) (talk) 00:30, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks so much for reviewing! Please let me know if anything else is needed here. Has been a nice break from restaurant entries, but I've just nominated a couple more for GA status for fun. Happy editing! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:40, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Everything looks good. Nice job! I've been writing about art and artists, so yeah, a break from the norm is nice. I have several GANs waiting as well. APK hi :-) (talk) 02:23, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks again! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 02:50, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
