  •   Sorry, Yasmiiine, but it's not eligible. Prior to your edit, it was 8573 prose characters, and it's currently 9975, less than a 1.2 times expansion. (You may determine the prose size using WP:DYKcheck.) It's unlikely that it could be expanded by the required five times. If you get the article to good article status, you may resubmit within a week of that designation. Please see WP:DYK for general information. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 08:21, 30 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Move back to uppercase request edit

According to both the sources and the n-grams this title should be returned to uppercase. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:55, 23 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello Deisenbe, wondering why you moved this page last November. Sources and n-grams seem to favor the long-term uppercasing. Are you open to a move back? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:00, 23 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
So change it back. I don't remember my thinking. deisenbe (talk) 11:07, 25 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
