5x expanded by Nvvchar (talk). Self nom at 07:22, 28 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Hmmm, I count slightly less then 5x: before the expansion,

157 words, and after, 724. I believe that's about 50-60 words short. Can this be expanded? (Also, some subsequent copyediting reduced this further to 645 words). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:36, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, pl allow a day more. Dr. Bloefeld and Rosiestep are adding more text as per my earlier request to make it 5x. They also need to be credited. Thanks you.-- Nvvchar . 23:05, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It is expanded now. Both Dr. Blofeld and Rosiestep who have added and edited text have been given credit in the list. Thanks.-- Nvvchar . 02:13, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 722 words now, which is still short by some. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:37, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I've expanded it a bit more. --Rosiestep (talk) 01:10, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * DYKcheck is now reporting sufficient expansion. Please note, for future reference, that expansion is measured in prose characters, not words. M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  00:27, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is a fivefold expansion and is long enough and new enough. The hook ALT1 (which I have tweaked for smooth reading) is well sourced. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:43, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
