John Harvey Kellogg edit
- Kellogg published The Uses of Water in Health & Disease where he detailed the benefits of hydropathy. The chemical and physical properties of water lent its ability for its healing properties including cooling functions for fevers and functions as a tonic among many other functions. Kellogg believed in the curative properties of water, but disapproved it as a "one-size fits all" property. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Diegoluytoto (talk • contribs) 21:42, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- ... that John Harvey Kellogg, the physician who invented the famous corn flakes, was both a vegetarian and strongly against caffeine in any form?

- ... that John Harvey Kellogg, most famous for his invention of corn flakes, also patented and invented medical devices for light, vibration, and massage therapies?
Expanded a lot, but not x5 - it was 35k on crude byte-count before (though with long quotes), & is now 61K. Lots of citation needed tags. Next time please don't do different ALTs for different editors (especially when the biggest single addition is by neither of you two), & link & bold the subject in the nom. Some added material might be better at Battle Creek Sanitarium. Johnbod (talk) 16:01, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
- @ArjavS and Vfang3: Unfortunately, this article was too long to begin with for a 5x expansion to be feasible. If you really want it to be featured in DYK, you could try to improve it to Good Article status and then nominate it here afterwards.
- @Johnbod: FYI, you need to use the DYK check tool to get the readable prose length. The length on the History tab counts all characters, including invisible markup, and does not reflect the length of readable prose. For this article the expansion was from 13,945 characters to 29,676 characters, still far short of a 5x expansion. See Rule A3 for details. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 03:51, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
