5x expanded by Figureskatingfan (talk). Self nom at 20:07, 21 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't start the expansion on Dec. 9, but that's when I started getting serious about it. I added to article space as each section was written.  Thanks for the consideration. Christine (talk) 20:27, 21 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg Expansion confirmed and I am willing to overlook the fact this nomination was made 12 days after expansion began instead of within the expected 5.  Spot checks of the available online sourcing looks good, so AGF of sourcing for hook fact that is based on dead tree sources.  Only thing preventing promotion is satisfaction of the review requirement. --Allen3 talk 19:49, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, appreciate the AGF. Many of the sources of this and other Angelou articles are "dead tree sources", as you say.  Most of that's unavoidable, but two of the now six articles on her autobiographies are FA and acceptable to most reviewers.  Next time, I won't put the articles I write in article space until they're completely finished, but I felt a need to add each section as they were completed instead.  Probably because I wanted to brag about the accomplishment of completing articles on every installment in Angelou's series. ;)  I also didn't want to bring it to DYK until I could be certain that I wouldn't be embarrassed by its appearance on the main page. I've also reviewed an article as required; it's been a while since I've been here at DYK, so I was unaware of this new development, something I fully support, BTW.
