5x expanded by HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk). Self-nominated at 06:57, 21 November 2021 (UTC).[reply]

I'm going to stretch the rules a bit and call this new enough. Pre-expansion, the article was 2135b of readable prose, now it is 9647b or readable prose. That is a 4.519X expansion, but that rounds up to five, right? Per the count the article is long enough. Regarding copyvio/paraphrasing, Earwig is happy and so am I. Matches are long Proper Names and a quote. Article written in neutral manner, and everything has an inline citation. Hook within format guidelines. ~~I don't think the hook is accurate, the article and the source say 0.4 seconds, not 0.7 seconds.~~ Hook is neutral and generally interesting. QPQ not done yet. ~~No image to check against.~~ Fix the hook, and the QPQ, and hope the promoter agrees with me regarding the length, and this is ready for mainspace exposure. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 20:19, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

78.26, Thanks for the review. I fixed the hook and I have expanded the article to 5x. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:06, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

HickoryOughtShirt?4 - article now 5x expended outright. Hook fixed, is in article supported by inline citation. Ping me when you've got the QPQ done and this is ready. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 01:56, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An error on my part. There is indeed an image, with appropriate permissions. Displays fairly well at small size. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 02:39, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

78.26, QPQ done. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 16:36, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All issues fixed. The hook is accurate and inline cited to a reliable source. The length issue is fully addressed. This is ready for mainpage exposure. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 17:07, 5 December 2021 (UTC) To T:DYK/P6 without image[reply]
