  • Hi Adolphus79, this article is currently too short to be featured as a DYK. As per the rules new articles must be at least 1,500 characters long. Let me know if you can expand it some more and I will come back to complete the review - Dumelow (talk) 09:22, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I have just tried to expand the article. Unfortunately, being a tiny unincorporated community in Ohio, there is not much to go on... if it is not big enough, that is fine, I'm sorry for wasting your time... - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:43, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Adolphus79, it's at 790 characters now so needs to be about twice as long to qualify. If you can't expand it any further that's fine, just let me know and I can close the nomination. Don't be disheartened though, I enjoyed reading your article (the rat hunt is particularly interesting), and be sure to bring your next article to DYK if it qualifies - Dumelow (talk) 17:42, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Nah, I've exhausted about everything available to me for this little town... I just thought it was a random entertaining fact, and I know we need them, that's all... maybe next time... - Adolphus79 (talk) 19:12, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
No worries, Adolphus79. Good luck with the next one! There's a bot that should detect the cross symbol and automatically close this shortly - Dumelow (talk) 19:34, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
