 * Article expanded from 5,088 on 1 December to 9,703 bytes on 6 December, which falls short of fivefold. Hawkeye7 (talk) 19:30, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Five times expansion refers not to file size (which you've listed), but to prose (see here and here). Use of a tool such as User:Shubinator/DYKcheck.js is recommended for determining prose size. In this case, note that a copyvio was removed. Assuming that removal was legitimate, it went from 567 characters of prose to 4227, more than 7x expansion. (Note: I haven't checked anything else on the article.) M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  00:20, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
