5x expanded by Ruby2010 (talk). Self nominated at 05:09, 2 May 2013 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg Just a note that I think DYK Check is a bit deceptive on this one, as it does not read it as 5X expanded. However, before expansion, this article was essentially a lead sentence and only other three sentences. DYK Check for the pre-expansion size was 700 characters of readable prose.  Currently, DYK Check comes in at 3,179 characters.  However, just looking at the before and after, I don't see how it could not be 5X expansion. — Maile  (talk) 17:26, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I've added a bit more from the German equivalent, so the article is now at 3626 characters.  Ruby  2010/  2013  03:25, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * DYK Check now confirms 5X expansion "Assuming article is at 5x now, expansion began 30 edits ago on May 2, 2013"
 * Earwig @ Toolserver says no copyvio, either. — Maile  (talk) 15:31, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * QPQ by Ruby2010 on May 3, 2013
 * Hook is short enough, interesting enough, and sourced at end of sentence. Editor used Harvard style citations, which did not provide an URL, but the URL for one of those citations is Here, so the sourcing is correct.


 * Everything looks good, except for two paragraphs that are not sourced. If you can provide inline citations for those paragraphs, this nomination will be good to go. — Maile  (talk) 18:04, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reviewing. The information you are referring to is translated from the German Wikipedia, which does not list any inline citations but instead lists two book references, which I added into the the English equivalent. I'm not sure what else is needed, but I believe the information is verifiable. Thanks,  Ruby  2010/  2013  19:18, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Well, I don't know how to proceed on this.  So I posted the question at Wikipedia talk:Did you know — Maile  (talk) 22:56, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm going to be traveling 20 May to 12 June, so I probably will be unable to speedily respond to any further comments on this page. Before I go, I just want to reaffirm that I think the article is fine for the main page -- there are only a few sentences that lack inline citations but are hardly unsourced; I am AGF on the German books in the German article and propose that others do too; the content is hardly controversial. Thanks. I look forward to others weighing in/promoting the article.  Ruby  2010/  2013  04:16, 20 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol voting keep.svg I looked at the paragraph about her foundation of a Kindergarten in Coburg, translated a bit more closely to de. It's documented and pictured here: de:Liste der Denkmäler in Coburg/P, Park 1. I assume good faith that the information is also in the books listed. AGF also for other offline sources, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:48, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
