Tommy Sims
The AllMusic entry for Real Life credits Tommy Sims as "Tommy Simms", which seems to be a typo. This Gannett News Service article refers to him as "Sims" and explicitly states that this is the same Tommy Sims who co-wrote "Change the World". Jpcase (talk) 20:24, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Promotional Appearances
As seen in this Way Back Machine archive from 2004, Helton's official website lists a number of television appearances: The Today Show, Good Morning America, CNN, Total Request Live, Good Day New York, and The Tonight Show. Specific dates are not given for any of those appearances though, so in most cases, I cannot say which of these appearances were done to promote American Idol and which may have been done to promote Real Life. The one exception is the Tonight Show appearance, which was done with Helton's B-Rite Music labelmate Kirk Franklin and which Helton's website says was a recent appearance at the time of Real Life's release. As such, the only one of these appearances that I've listed under the "Release and promotion" section is the Tonight Show appearance; I've also added an appearance Helton made on PrimeTime Live, which isn't listed on Helton's website but is mentioned in a USA Today article, which specifies that the appearance was done in May 2004. If I can find information showing that Helton made any other TV appearances in promotion of Real Life, then I'll add those as well, but at the moment, The Tonight Show and PrimeTime Live are the only TV appearances I can say for sure were related to Real Life. --Jpcase (talk) 16:59, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
 * This later archive of Helton's website from October 2004 has an additional appearance listed: FamilyNet's At Home Live. Since this appearance was added to Helton's website after the initial list, it seems likely that it occurred during the interim between when the two Wayback Machine archives were taken and therefore would have been in promotion of Real Life. That said, I'm still going to leave it out of the "Release and promotion" section unless I can find more concrete information on when the appearance occurred. --Jpcase (talk) 17:09, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

rjhelton.com and rjaholics.com
I've decided to use Helton's official website, rjhelton.com, and his official fan website, rjaholics.com, as sources occasionally throughout the article. They should both be acceptable as primary sources. rjaholics.com can be verified as Helton's authorized official fan site, since it is listed as such in the links section of rjhelton.com, as can be seen at the bottom of the page here. Also, according to this page from rjaholics, whoever was responsible for operating the fan site was also responsible for Helton's second official website, rjheltonmusic.com. --Jpcase (talk) 21:30, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
