QPQ: Done.

Overall: Since the "Money" source puts her age as 13 on 28 January 2019 and the "Success" source puts her age as 14 on 11 June 2019, her birth year can imho be said to be 2005 without violating WP:SYNTH since it's simple math (cf. WP:CALC). I have changed it accordingly. Other than that and what I said above, it looks good. Regards SoWhy 13:53, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@SoWhy: Thanks for your review and the simple math! I think I rephrased all the present tense statements that don't concern ongoing actions, and reduced the quotes to only one. --GRuban (talk) 15:54, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
. I don't think that quote is needed either but for DYK purposes it's okay. If you plan on taking it to GA, you might have to change that though. Regards SoWhy 09:19, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

[edit]

All right, I get that this is a kid and so most of the coverage is positive and all, but this article reads like a puff piece at times. Seriously, in no other article would we allow content like:

  • "Tom has called working for her one of the most fulfilling things that he has done in his life"
  • "intends to go on to college to learn more about running her company"
  • "Making the candy in molds at home did not work and only made messes"
  • "invested her life savings, $3,750 from birthday and holiday gifts"
  • The entire Million Smiles Initiative section, which is mostly cited to an industry source.
  • "I hope every kid in America has a clean mouth, a healthy smile and a Zollipop in their hands"

It makes the entire article sound like one of the cutesy write-ups that local newspapers do, not an actual encyclopedia article. AryKun (talk) 17:41, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of edits needed here
