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 So Why 13:53, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

@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)

. 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 So Why 09:19, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
