Woodward Park (Tulsa)

 * ... that the rose rosette virus has killed at least two-thirds of the roses in the Tulsa Rose Garden in 2014?
 * Reviewed: 1930 Graf Zeppelin stamps
 * Comment: Expansion has occurred over a multi-day period June 6 - 14, 2014

5x expanded by Bruin2 (talk). Self nominated at 23:37, 13 June 2014 (UTC).


 * Comment: Reworded the hook a little. Edwardx (talk) 00:13, 18 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg I nearly failed this, forgetting that we now have 7 days' grace to do expansion, which occurred from 6-12 June. Oops. The hook is cited to the Tulsa World which claimed on April 1, 2014 that two-thirds of the roses had been destroyed, so it is factually correct. The article itself doesn't clarify this quite as well, so I've done a small copyedit there. The expansion went from 1,351 characters to 7,986 in this time, which more than the five times required. I've copypasted a few sentences into Google, and there doesn't seem to be any evidence of duplication. So we're good to go. Ritchie333   (talk)   (cont)   14:46, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
