  • Very nice work! However, the list neither has 1500 characters of prose, nor has its prose been expanded 5x. - The Bushranger One ping only 22:03, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
Well, I didn't even consider that I didn't get 5x due to huge overall expansion. I won't be able to look at again until tomorrow however. I was going to re-visit this later for a FL run when I could figure out what else to write :) Neonblak talk - 22:26, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
  • I've expanded the article, and it should now meet the DYK length requirements. - PM800 (talk) 04:28, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Sensu stricto, this would need to have 2315 characters of prose to qualify as a 5x expansion. However as the previous prose amounted to 'this is list X of Y', and the tables themselves are wildly improved, I'm going to WP:IAR this. Now, a note, while it's true that the lede is referenced to the tables (except for the first paragraph), I'd suggest that you add references to the table-referenced bits of the lede, just to satisfy the rules lawyers. AGF on offline (rulebook) sources. There is, however, a quibble: Reference [3], livestrong.org, is this a reliable source? - The Bushranger One ping only 04:47, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Wow, I didn't realize that it wasn't 5x. Sorry about that. I've just added more references for everything. - PM800 (talk) 06:05, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks much to you PM800 for expanding the lede, it would have been at least a two or three days before I would have been able to get back to this. As for the quibble on the first paragraph, the rule book only goes just so far on what it considers a "home run", and I found that this site had a good explanation of the little-known interference situation, however, it looks like PM800 added citations that would explain those as well, so that site can probably be removed.Neonblak talk - 06:32, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
Nicely done! This is good to go. - The Bushranger One ping only 07:04, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
