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. 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. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 15:31, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
maybe an ALT-2 is needed--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:59, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
No. An article expansion is needed. Without an expansion, there is no need for any hooks as the article currently does not qualify for DYK. Schwede66 00:19, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
I have just struck the original hook, which at 217 prose characters exceeds the absolutely maximum of 200. (It also violates the rule against not using parenthetical comments, see WP:DYKSG#C9.) Almaty, as noted above, the nomination is currently failing because the article remains below 1500 prose characters, the minimum requirement for DYK eligibility. I hope the article can be suitably expanded, and also that the "clarification needed" template is addressed. Best of luck going forward. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:33, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
No worries. I think personally that the outbreak is getting enough attention and at a later date I may 5x expand epidemic curves, with a different hook. --Almaty (talk) 05:01, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
