Created/expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self nom at 02:17, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

  • Symbol possible vote.svg More specifically, it went from 1288 prose characters to 5893, so another 547 would bring it up to 5× expansion. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 06:51, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
  • I wasn't clear on whether it has to be 5x expanded in characters or words, or both. Words are expanded 206 to 1021. I'll add some more to remove any ambiguities. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:35, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Characters are now expanded 5x. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:00, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Symbol possible vote.svg 5x expansion confirmed. The article is insufficiently referenced, though. The DYK requirement is to have at least one inline reference per paragraph, but many of the paragraphs have zero references. See rule D2. Schwede66 19:25, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Symbol redirect vote4.png Fixed. Every paragraph now has a reference. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:31, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
