- Comment: My expansion of this article took some time to complete, but was all one connected group of edits and was completed two days ago.
5x expanded by Pi.1415926535 (talk). Self-nominated at 04:58, 22 September 2017 (UTC).
A major part of the expansion occurred over two months ago, back in July, from under 400 characters to over 4000 initially, and then to 6143 over a week later. (It would have been eligible for DYK after the initial expansion, and leniency might have been given if nominated on July 24.) The September portion went from 6143 prose characters to 10196. Unfortunately, a DYK article is supposed to be expanded over a period of seven days, not over nine weeks, and this does not qualify. I see you have nominated this to be a Good Article, which is the final way to qualify for DYK; once it is listed, it can be successfully nominated at DYK within seven days. Best of luck!
