Pindad Komodo

 * ... that development of the Pindad Komodo started when President Yudhoyono visited Pindad and challenged them to make a comparable 4x4 tactical vehicle as an alternative to other vehicles like the Humvee?
 * ALT1:... that the Pindad Komodo was named after the Indonesian Komodo dragon so that the vehicle can bring glory to Indonesia?
 * Comment: This was written as a translation of the Indonesian article. Now it would have been nominated and worked on earlier except that I had to go to the hospital for treatment. No pictures are in the article since the one is Commons is unclear since it was found on other public forums. Need to have a Komodo image that is publicly released. It'll be expanded again when needed if and when I can find new info.

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Was 1327 characters on 21 May, so it needs to be over 6.3k characters to pass the 5X requirement. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:03, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Can you clarify if you mean an additional 6.3 characters more? And if so, can someone check if it's okay or it needs a bit more expanding since it's getting more difficult to find more references on the Komodo. Ominae (talk) 16:46, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Now at least above 21k characters. Can someone check if it's okay for DYK? Ominae (talk) 13:34, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * No, the DYK folks work off the text prose characters. This was 1327 characters on 7 June before expansion. It is 5210 characters now. You need 5 x 1327 = 6985 characters, so the article is still 6985 - 5210 = 1775 characters short. Can you find another 1775 characters of prose? Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:22, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * All done. It's above 6985 words by now. Ominae (talk) 05:14, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Article new enough, large enough, fully referenced. QPQ required. Hook verified against online source. Do not like the ALT hook at all. Hawkeye7 (talk) 09:54, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * So the first hook is a go then? Ominae (talk) 10:38, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * No. You need to review another DYK nomination first. (QPQ = Quid Pro Quo). Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:14, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay. Haven't done that before though. Ominae (talk) 12:09, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 12:40, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
