5x expanded by Theklan (talk). Self-nominated at 20:50, 3 April 2017 (UTC).
Reddit and YouTube are not reliable sources and can't be used. Half of the lead needs references because it's not stated or sourced elsewhere in the article, the last sentence in Background needs a reference, much of Organization and procedure needs direct references, and the Spin-offs list is completely unreferenced. It has also not been 5x expanded - it was 4893 characters and somehow went down to 4438 characters. I will have to mark for closure as failed. SL93 (talk) 12:25, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- Reddit changed for other link stating the number of kilometres (that was the only point about referencing it). YouTube is perfectly valid if I want to link the song, that is, precesely, a videoclip. If you prefer I could insert all the links as an "External links" section, but it seems redundant to me. The sentence you mention have deen deleted, but the years of the editions are mentioned in the "Editions" section. I have edited the spin-off section, with references to every one. About the 5x, I didn't write it, it was automatically created, so don't blame on me but on the software, please. -Theklan (talk) 13:58, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you mean by automatically created because it was created by an editor in 2007. The revision before the edits was 4893 characters long. It is now 4347 characters which is not an expansion. SL93 (talk) 14:05, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- I mean that I did not write the 5x content, it was created by the template by its own. I don't even know how it was calculated. -Theklan (talk) 20:05, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
- The only ways for this to qualify for DYK is to be expanded 5x (it wasn't), be a new article that was created within the past 7 days (it wasn't), or be a recent Good Article (it isn't). SL93 (talk) 20:12, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
- So, if I take an article with a non-encyclopedic long text (as you can see in the history), delete all the non-sense, and make a similar lenght article full of citations... it doesn't count as YOU DECIDE that the old article had the same length. That's a complete random way of assessing quality. -Theklan (talk) 11:45, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- This nomination has not succeeded, but if you can get this article to Good Article standard then it will be eligible for "did you know". BencherliteTalk 15:46, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
