The article was submitted a day late on the 28th, rather than the 27th or earlier. Otherwise, there are a couple paragraphs that need citations at the beginning of the article. The 5-day rule meaningless if people routinely ignore it and allow exceptions to become the rule, but I am going to make this exception because of the unusual subject matter, pre-fab steel houses with built-in furniture. In general, though, I consider new people to be eligible for an exception, not someone who knows the ropes as you must. Otherwise, the article expansion is plenty long enough. Shouldn't acreage be converted to hectares, rather than square meters, though? Square meters is usually for building interiors. I don't believe the template works for hectare, but since the dimensions won't be changing, I usually just figure out what they are and type them in (though with the articles I do, I'm always converting hectares into US measures). If you can fix the citation issue, this article will be ready for approval. Marrante (talk) 17:21, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
- We have long accepted late submissions because we rarely get around to reviewing them for days. I realize that makes our deadlines seem a little more like suggestions, but if we wanted to make them stick we'd have every new nom reviewed and archived within that time frame. (Also, I could have submitted it within the time frame, but even though it was large enoguh it wasn't finished yet and I'd prefer not to submit something incomplete, especially when that would create unnecessary reviewing issues).I use square meters for land areas that are going to come out smaller than a full hectare, in line with the practice I've seen in metric countries (and we do the same, with lots below a certain size being measured in square feet rather than fractional acres).Will fix cites.
