 * Symbol possible vote.svg Very well documented, and the sources are reliable. Article was at 2708 characters (450 words) on 14 January 2013 prior to expansion, is now at 12140 characters (2031 words), making it a 4.51 expansion by word count and a 4.48 expansion by character count (prose only). You would need to expand it by at least another 220 words or so to make it a 5x expansion. That is the only issue I see, though. It is very well sourced and interesting to read, and meets all the other DYK requirements. Can you expand it another 220-300 words in the next couple days? (maybe expand the post-war section by a couple or three paragraphs or something, if there are more sources for that) ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 17:05, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I added a block quote and some other things. How about now? — Ed! (talk) 18:29, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg prose is now at 13367 characters (2231 words) (it looks like the block quotes aren't counted by the DYK Check script...not sure why not as they are prose, too), so that makes it a 4.96 expansion without the block quotes. Maybe someone else can chime in regarding whether the block quotes count. If they do, then this is definitely a 5x expansion now. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 05:24, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * If you aren't going to accept the birth date, then don't use it in the undefined template as that will give allegedly false information (since you don't accept the birth date). ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 17:11, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Template removed. — Ed! (talk) 18:31, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't have any other concerns. We just need someone else to confirm whether the block quotes count or not. I think they should count, but we need a second opinion. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 09:03, 26 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg I'm just going to say yes on this one. With the block quotes (which are prose), the prose has gone from 2708 characters (450 words) on 14 January 2013 prior to expansion to 14404 characters (2423 words), which is a 5.13 increase in characters, and a 5.38 increase in words (I added another inline quote and sourced it). The expansion was done over Jan 23-26. This one is good to go. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 19:48, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
