 * Symbol confirmed.svg These two articles are new enough and long enough. The hook facts have inline citations, the articles are neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:56, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Independence Act of Panama is actually a bit short - it was missing the blocking on the beginning of the long quote. You could either unbold it or do a bit more expansion. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:09, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

How is it too short?♦ Dr. Blofeld  05:51, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * If you are using the DKY counter program it is not counting the sections of the act because it does not count lists. These aren't a "list" they articles of the document and since I was translating the document and they are listed in it as enumerated articles, I know of no other way to transcribe it than as I did. You cannot omit the numbers and have the document be accurate. If you run it through http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/charcount.shtml just the wording of the act itself is 3703 characters, well over the 1500 and that does not include any of the other parts of the article.

 * But we can't include the wording of the act itself in the character count - it's a direct translation of the source, which is okay because the source is PD but is excluded from the count per rule 2b. The parts of the article original to Wikipedia are under 1500 characters. Nikkimaria (talk) 11:46, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I added a sentence, it is over 1500 chars by DYK check tool. SusunW (talk) 13:16, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks for that, now good to go. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:59, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
