 * Symbol delete vote.svg This is an impressive expansion but nowhere near the required fivefold. this version has 3297 characters while the one for submission here has 10395. I'm sorry but this cannot go for DYK. --Pgallert (talk) 07:42, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * oh... it lacks 6K... I'll try to add the 6K needed. --Pedro (talk) 08:12, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * 6K is a lot, but do post here if you achieve that. Please also remember that every paragraph needs a reference, there are a few missing right now. --Pgallert (talk) 08:24, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Arent you confusing this with feature articles candidates? the actual source is there, so not that hard to get, just needs to be checked which. added 3380 right now. It now lacks 2710 characters. I'll add it later today with new pics. Useful pics is what is really lacking in the article. I plan to take some today. ---Pedro (talk) 09:39, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * No, it is a DYK rule (of thumb, exceptions possible), see DYKAR. The main sources, unless I have misunderstood what you want to say, are offline and in Portuguese. That's indeed what I would call hard to get. That makes it particularly important to tag which source supports which statement. Cheers, --Pgallert (talk) 11:58, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The size of the article is no longer an issue. Added some more sources and several pics I took in the morning. Some didn't turned out well, but others look great. --Pedro (talk) 21:58, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg Article has not been expanded 5x (only around 4.5x). - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 12:11, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * According to my calculations it suppressed. Nevertheless, I kept expanding the article (further 2K) with more info and refs... luckily there is a lot to talk about... --Pedro (talk) 13:17, 1 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg DYKcheck confirms that this article has now achieved 5x expansion. Time for someone to undertake a comprehensive review. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:56, 1 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is now a 5x expansion and is long enough to qualify for DYK. The expansion started on May 10th and the hook is established from multiple sources. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:26, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
