Insufficient recent expansion

List of jailbreaks by al-Qaida affiliates edit

  • Hook is supported by citations, DYK check gives size as only 604 characters, as it does not count inside the tables. I shall have to seek another opinion on this, although obviously the list has sufficient text. No dead links, no copyvios detected, no dabs. Hook ok. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:18, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Could someone look at list length re above comment. Jezhotwells (talk) 08:28, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
  • First the "Bad News". The article is too old and does not have enough new and original text. Only the bit at the start counts as we ignore tables and lists. However! the good news is that all you have to do is to increase the lead section from 600 characters to over 3,000 characters (a factor of 5). You can start this when you like but the expansion must take less than 5 days. Then you can re-list this article here and it will go to DYK. Hope that helps.
