5x expanded by Antony-22 (talk). Self nominated at 02:04, 15 January 2015 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg Article wasn't expanded fivefold. It was 4543 bytes before Antony-22 started editing it and it's 16199 bytes now. The DYK Check tool seems to think it's been expanded enough. If there's some other way this math has to be done, please explain. The hook (182 characters) is short enough, appears in the article, and is sourced. The article is long enough, isn't COPYVIO (it looks like a paragraph found in mediander is either a mirror or posting govt public domain content), and is within policy. QPQ was done.

 * Per WP:DYK rule 1b, only readable prose is counted for the expansion, and the table doesn't count as readable prose. DYK Check correctly accounts for this. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 04:04, 20 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Chris troutman|, DYK doesn't count in bytes, it measures prose characters, which is why DYKcheck gives results the way it does. The article had 1227 prose characters prior to the expansion on January 12, which would require an expansion to 6135 prose characters. It currently has 6145 prose characters, which fulfills the 5x expansion requirement with 10 characters to spare. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:25, 20 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article seems to be expanded 5x by my own calculations. Obviously long enough and is within policy (no plagiarism detected aside from the public domain source commented above). Hook is interesting and cited. QPQ is in order. Nice work. 23W 07:10, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
