I'm done working on this sandbox: the article is live. Thank you!Juliettelm (talk) 20:59, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I'm starting to walk through articles and give everyone informal early feedback on how they're doing. You'll notice this is a little bit form-letter-ish but I hope it is still helpful! My general take right now is that you're making good progress on this article, so please keep working. Be sure to incorporate feedback from the peer review. You might find it helpful to apply the peer review guide to your own article as you think about where to go next. Kaylea Champion (talk) 22:41, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Go Live Approval
Hi

You are approved to go live. One quick change to make is about tone -- in particular, the use of the phrase "fit every body" -- this feels a bit more like a marketing slogan; it seems factual to say it fits a wide range of body types, but I suspect there are at least some bodies they won't fit.

Since this is a new article, you might want to also think about linking other articles to it -- currently the term redirects people into a section of Kim's biography.

Going live with a new article has a slightly different go-live process than what we talked about in section. You will want to go to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Skims&redirect=no

What you see there is the redirect magic that behind the scenes lands people in Kim's bio. In source editing mode, replace #REDIRECT Kim_Kardashian with your article, and then proceed:


 * 1) Note on article talk page.
 * 2) Note at the top of your sandbox version.
 * 3) Submit a link to your article on Canvas.
 * 4) Celebrate!

Your edits
Thanks noticing the issue with the reference to the Forbes contributor in. Removing the reference to a nonreliable source is great. That said, it would probably be prudent to be a little more careful when removing text from articles that are unsourced only because you are removing a reference. In this case, you can see that the only claim the Forbes article was supporting—the sentence you removed as unsourced—was a short sentence in the lede explaining that the company had been founded in 2019. In general, this kind of claim could be left in the article with a request, perhaps with a template requesting a reference?

In this particular case, the fact in question (i.e., the fact that Skims was founded in 2019) was repeated in the article two paragraphs later in the history section with a reference from the New York Times. I don't expect you dig into them, of course, but you shouldn't be surprised that many of the references from unambiguously reliable sources repeat this very basic fact. It seems that a little more thoughtfulness and care in this process of removing text that you are rendering unsourced would be appropriate. — m a k o ๛  01:02, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
