5x expanded by Pinklily08 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:36, 16 November 2020 (UTC).
This is not a five-fold expansion. Please review the eligibility criteria and consider nominating articles that you create or expand in the future. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:45, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
Muboshgu, this is an expansion from 2099 prose characters to 9962 prose characters, very close to 5x (over 4.7x). At DYK, we will invariably give someone a chance to make up the difference if they don't quite get the expansion to the correct number, especially since many people don't know how to accurately measure prose size. Pinklily08, a 5x expansion of 2099 prose characters requires that the article be at least 10495 prose characters, so you will need to add another 533 prose characters. That's another 100 to 140 words, plus or minus. Do you think you'll be able to do that? Please let us know. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:02, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- BlueMoonset, that is not what I see. DYKcheck says it is not a 5x expansion. Manually going back to the edit before Pinklily's first edit shows it to not be 5x. Where is this 2099 character version? I don't see one. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:11, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- Oh, this is the pre-expansion version? The first edit to expand this was November 1, more than twice the two week time frame. I affirm my orange x. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:14, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- Eh on second thought I'll strike that. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:16, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- Muboshgu BlueMoonset Thank you for your help! I nominated my article to DYK in hopes that it'll get more recognition. I thought that because my expansion was enough to meet the criteria (near 5x). Unfortunately, due to time constrictions on my part I could not add enough words to fill in to meet the criteria. I do hope that someone else can continue to expand the article. Thank you very much for both of your time. Pinklily08 (talk) 12:41, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
