WPCE

  • ... that a 1967 promotion by Virginia radio station WHIH, anticipated to receive 15,000 entries, instead received nearly 180 million? Source: p41

5x expanded by Raymie (talk). Self-nominated at 00:48, 9 August 2020 (UTC).

  • Symbol confirmed.svg Hi Raymie, review follows: article more than 5x expanded 8-9 August and exceeds minimum length (even if discounting some of the overlapping content); article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing from a spot check on the sources; hook is excellent, mentioned in the article and checks out to the sources cited; my only recommendation is that you expand the lead to summarise the article content per WP:LEAD, but I won't hold up the approval because of this - Dumelow (talk) 14:14, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
