 * Symbol question.svg Article should have been listed as December 25 nomination -- it was created on that date and not expanded fivefold since then. Otherwise, article looks good: well cited and length proper.  I prefer the ALT1 hook.  -Kgwo1972 (talk) 22:29, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, the original hook was missing the name Charles Radbourn, which I've added. -Kgwo1972 (talk) 22:36, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for fixing the hook. I'm not sure why the question mark symbol though - even if Dec. 25 was the correct date it was still within 5 days when nominated.  But DYK eligibility is based on prose, and lists are excluded.  The entire prose section was added on Dec. 30 - there were zero characters of readable prose on Dec. 25 - so Dec. 30 is the date as of which the >5x expansion took place.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Ah, thanks for the explanation.  ALL good to go then.  Again, I prefer the ALT1 hook .  -Kgwo1972 (talk) 16:29, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
