::It occurs to me that maybe this should be clarified: the DYK length standard refers to the ''readable prose text'' of the article that a reader sees on the screen, not to the length of the raw article code. The raw text includes things like templates, references, infoboxes, categories, and so on that make the file longer but don't contribute to the text of the article. At present the raw article file is 3458 characters long, but the readable text is only 1370 characters, and that's what the DYK criterion cares about. Incidentally, this is also how the criterion for the length of the hook works. -[[User:Bryanrutherford0|Bryan Rutherford]] ([[User talk:Bryanrutherford0|talk]]) 15:31, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Epidemic curve

Created by Almaty (talk). Self-nominated at 07:57, 20 February 2020 (UTC).

Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.

comment at the time of nom, it met the criteria. I have reinserted some of the explanation which was copyedited and removed. I think its quite a good one to put on the front page! --Almaty (talk) 05:40, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
Hmm... I'm not sure what you mean. As of your final edit prior to nomination, the readable prose text was 1086 characters in length, and none of the edits made by other editors has shortened the article. After your edit yesterday, the readable prose is still only 1370 characters, and the DYK standard is a minimum of 1500. It's a very interesting and important topic, I agree! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 14:37, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
It occurs to me that maybe this should be clarified: the DYK length standard refers to the readable prose text of the article that a reader sees on the screen, not to the length of the raw article code. The raw text includes things like templates, references, infoboxes, categories, and so on that make the file longer but don't contribute to the text of the article.
