Cat Creek, Montana

  • Comment: This article started "expansion" on the date given here, however the vast majority of the "expansion" was vandalism and the addition of unreliably sourced hoax material, that was not cleared up until today, at which point the article has been improved significantly from its pre-vandalism and mostly-reverted-to state. Given this, and that there are still unreviewed DYKs on this and earlier dates in the queue, I believe this falls under additional rule D9 for its date.
  • Note: Since the DYK was nominated, edits to the article have dropped it below a 5x expansion. Would request that it still be considered per WP:IAR due to overall improvement, but no hard feelings if not. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:15, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

  • Symbol possible vote.svg This is going to be a bit hard to sort out due to the vandalism issue, so feel free to challenge any of my assumptions if they are incorrect. I agree that the hoax text should not be counted against you, but credit can only be given for material added in the five-day time frame. This version from April 1 is, as far as I can tell, vandalism-free and has about 1500 characters of prose. The current version as of April 3 has about 5500 characters of prose, so you would be about 2000 characters short. My question is whether the Geography and Demographics sections, which were added on March 23, are hoax text as well. Without them you're starting at 1000 characters, which would satisfy the 5x expansion requirement, but those sections were sourced and I'd need some evidence that either the source is unreliable or that the numbers presented are incorrect. Or you could expand the article a bit more to make the issue moot. You've done fine work on this article so I hope this can be worked out one way or another.

  • The geography and demographics sections that were in the article at that time were sourced to a website that was removed on the grounds of misrepresenting census data - and that frankly looks to be the opposite of a WP:RS from my looking at it. Bzuk did all the work, so he gets the credit - but I'll see if I can't wordsmith some in the morning. - The Bushranger One ping only 04:23, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
