Thanks Regina:

That information (i.e. this data comes from the US Census tiger data) is what I expect to see mentioned in a providence review. 

So if you had an entry about the docs you could say:
- creative commons license
- dataset xxxx from US Census Tiger data
- data or snapshots generated by community
- raster example from xxxx

I was just going quickly through the page you linked us to and checking for the kind of thing that has caused trouble in the past.

i.e. issues raised and/or fixed, forgetting to consider documentation and sample data

To repeat we don't need these issues fixed; only raised against your project issue tracker, and a link to the issue. It would also of been nice to see the tickets from problems you found and fixed during your review.
