Well-written

I have even less to say this time! Did a little copyedit, particularly for MOS:GEOLINK (tell me if I did it wrong), and I also added her DOB. Here's what I've got!

"Memes" should be piped to "Internet memes" (or, if you'd like, just be "Internet memes")

I'm not convinced by the "parody" and "remix" links, they feel like everyday terms.

was second alternate to Miss Minnesota Continental — I feel like I've heard this alternate to phrase before, but it's not fully clicking. Does it mean she just placed second?
- It is a common placement in pageantry. See Drag_pageantry#Former_titleholders for example. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 04:08, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Interesting! I've reworded it to place more emphasis on the "second alternate", feel free to change it. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 14:58, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
and her vocals received a dance remix — expand "dance" to "dance music" (with the link)

Verifiable with no original research

Most sources appear reliable. Pride.com is marginally reliable, as well as Screen Rant, but their uses are minimal and uncontroversial. As a publication of Financial Times, This is Africa appears reliable, and the Yahoo! Entertainment articles are syndicated from ET and TheWrap, two respectable publications. As well, Earwig shows a low score of 6.5%.

The Century Times is a student newspaper which accepts submissions and represent an already small college. They do interview Diamond, but for the sentence it's citing, I would remove or, if necessary, replace it.

Broad in its coverage

I've looked through the news coverage of her, and I'm quite confident that this article adresses the main points of her Muslim background and competition in season 11.

Neutral

Summary

Another add to your arsenal, great work! And sorry this review took a little longer to get out (I've been traveling around with family). Averageuntitleduser (talk) 03:49, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Averageuntitleduser No prob! I think I've addressed your concerns, but let me know if anything else is needed. Thanks for reviewing! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 04:13, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
