Broad

  • The life and career explains musical progression pretty well honestly. I have a personal/minor qualm that I don't think the artistry section explains any signature kate nash elements.... not that i've done the reading. ignore this is random // Chchcheckit (talk) 17:17, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

::I'm going to respond to this anyway. Her musical style is scattered across the Life and career section as her change of genre was why she was dropped. I think it would be tautologous to repeat this in the Artistry section.--Launchballer 18:00, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Prose

  • Why is the line {{blue|A fifth album, 9 Sad Symphonies, was released on Kill Rock Stars in 2024, and Nash opened an OnlyFans account to subsidise losses from its tour.}} placed in the second paragraph of the lead as opposed to the first?

::Mainly to keep the paragraphs roughly the same size, though I may revisit this depending on what happens later.--Launchballer 17:19, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

:::{{yo|Chchcheckit}} I trimmed the Under-Estimate the Girl documentary and moved the fifth album into the first paragraph. Are you still working on this?--Launchballer 13:59, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

::::Yeah, I am. Just a lot of text. Chchcheckit (talk) 14:03, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

  • also: does the onlyfans line need to be there? // Chchcheckit (talk) 17:14, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

::Technically no; I added it because I plan on running this as a multinom with user:Launchballer/9 Sad Symphonies Tour and user:Launchballer/Butts for Tour Buses and that sentence would contain links to those, but for now I trimmed it.--Launchballer 17:54, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

:::I see that you put it back.--Launchballer 18:04, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

::::That was unintended; i was adding author and date to a source. // Chchcheckit (talk) 22:14, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::I took it back out again.--Launchballer 22:46, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Life and Career 1987-2011

  • Any better source for North Harrow other than a Kickstarter page?

::All of the secondary sources I could find says she grew up there and this complies with WP:ABOUTSELF.--Launchballer 12:04, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

  • That harrow gig, according to Hrrow times source, was Nash's debut gig

::Fair cop. Added.--Launchballer 12:04, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

  • {{blue|Upon release in August 2007, Made of Bricks charted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart in August 2008,[21] where it sold 56,000 copies in its first week.[19]}} Could be made clearer; like "Upon its release in August 2007, Made of Bricks sold 56,000 copies in its first week to debut at number one on the UK Albums Chart"?

::I reworded this, but not that way.--Launchballer 14:59, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

::that was the intention. you're better than me at writing // Chchcheckit (talk) 15:14, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

  • {{s|{{blue|Among the album's tracks were "Birds", "Foundations", "Mouthwash", "Pumpkin Soup", and "Merry Happy",[24]}} why are the non-album singles "Birds" and "Foundations" mentioned?}} (i am blind)

::"Birds" and "Foundations" are on the album?--Launchballer 14:59, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

::again: blind Chchcheckit (talk) 15:14, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Life and Career 2020-present

  • currently has a 2017 picture; commons has pictures from 2020 onward which would better suit this section

::commons:Category:Kate Nash by year says we have images from 2018 and 2024. I added a single image from the latter for the last two paragraphs.--Launchballer 17:54, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Spotchecks

  • {{tick}} {{green|Nash's second single, June 2007's "Foundations",[18] spent five weeks at No. 2 on the UK singles chart behind Rihanna's "Umbrella" and Timbaland's "The Way I Are", once missing out on No. 1 by 16 copies.[19] The success of the single prompted the label to bring forward the release of her debut album by five weeks.[20]}}
  • {{tick}} {{green|In July and August 2007, Nash featured on Lethal Bizzle's "Look What You Done" from his album Back to Bizznizz and Kano's "Me & My Microphone" from his album London Town.[30][31] The year after, following relentless touring and a lack of nutrition on tour, Nash developed alcoholism and candidiasis and suffered a breakdown in Germany, prompting her to take a year out and develop obsessive–compulsive disorder. She cut out wheat and dairy on the advice of a specialist and then meat before moving into a rented flat in Bethnal Green she later bought with her boyfriend Ryan Jarman,[32] who she met in 2007.[33] She also spent time working at a refuge for survivors of domestic violence and self-harm.[34] Jarman later introduced her to Bernard Butler, who she began recording her second album with August 2009.[35] She subsequently began playing bass guitar in The Receeders,[36] a punk band formed with two men who were supporting her solo content.[37]}}
  • {{tick}} {{green|Nash contributed a cover of Cub's "My Chinchilla", then a regular in her setlists, to the March 2012 Nardwuar and The Evaporators' album Busy Doing Nothing!.[58] By June 2012, Nash was best known for gentle indie pop music.[59] That month, Nash embarked on a 12-date Faster Pussycat Run Run Tour across the UK[60] and released the song "Under-Estimate the Girl" for free on her website,[61] which she had written, recorded, and made a video for in under 24 hours.[62] The punk rock track received mostly negative feedback[63] and compelled Fiction Records to drop her[12] in August 2012.[64] That summer, she had recorded a small role for Syrup with Aram Rappaport, who subsequently directed the music videos shot for her third album;[65] the film was released the following year.[25] By October 2012, she had covered Fidlar's "Cocaine"; that month, she featured on their track "Awwwkwaarrrddd"[66] and appeared as Buffy in a production of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Once More, with Feeling" at Hackney Picturehouse.[67]}}
  • {{tick}} {{green|In October 2018, she signed on to play Boudica in Horrible Histories: The Movie – Rotten Romans,[121] which premiered in July 2019.[122] She then released the grunge song "Trash" in January 2019, in which she condemned environmental pollution.[123] To mark the BBC premiere of Underestimate the Girl, she released the track "Bad Lieutenant" and released a video for "Body Heat",[115] which had previously appeared on Yesterday Was Forever.[111] By April 2020, Nash had tired of regular social media and had created a Patreon account,[124] which she used throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to livestream gigs.[125]}}

NPOV

  • Almost no problems...
  • Underestimate the girl: {{blue|Joel Golby of The Guardian suggested that much of its footage was otiose and that it would be better for a tighter edit and a 40 minute duration.[119]}} This is one review... imo it would be better to cite the [https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/kate_nash_underestimate_the_girl/reviews rotten tomatoes] page to get a better critical consensus
