 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Everything looks good to me. Length, date, hook and offline source all seem fine. - JuneGloom    Talk  00:31, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Not. quite. This is a 5X expansion:
 * Currently, it is 7,368 characters
 * On Sept 15 the day before LauraHale and Hawkeye7 began expansion it was 1,830 characters = 1,830 X 5 = 9,150
 * It was 1,779 characters on August 16, 2012 1,779 x = 8,895

 * It is 9,863 bytes, which was above 5x expansion. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:33, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * DYK Check says after yesterday's edits: 8,917 characters of readable prose right now.  I'm going to relinquish this to another reviewer right now.  I think you use a different tool to check the characters than I do.  I'm only going by DYK. Maile66 (talk) 10:40, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to note that I did check the expansion and believed it to be correct. However, I notice there has been quite a few changes since I reviewed it. - JuneGloom    Talk  16:25, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * DYKcheck does indeed give 8,917 prose characters. It also says this is a 5x expansion since September 15, 2012. However, given the recent instability in the article, which included major text deletions and restorations, it's unsurprising that Maile66 checked at a point when the article didn't qualify because it was indeed below 5x (6,685 bytes had been removed). I would like to suggest that we wait 24 hours to make sure the article has stabilized before the review is finalized; whoever does so then should examine the changes since JuneGloom07's review to make sure they don't violate any DYK rules. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:05, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey, everybody. Everybody in this thread has been correct, including me, at some point in the article's recent history.  Timing was everything. I was just looking at the time I ran the first DYK check, and looked into the history where BlueMoonset says 6,685 bytes were removed.  BlueMoonset is correct in that I ran that check after the byte deletion.  Also looking at the history, had I run the DYK check a mere 2 minutes later, this whole dialogue would not be happening, because somebody reversed out the removal. Well, I hope this nom proceeds smoothly once the article stabilizes.  Maile66 (talk) 23:29, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
