You mean 325 words? I used the prosesize software to verify what you said. Actually, the old revision was 1,842 bytes. George Ho (talk) 07:25, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Errr, yes, sorry - you're right, of course. It was 1,842 characters and is now 9,872, which is a bit more than 5x. Prioryman (talk) 10:25, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Article new enough, long enough, and adequately cited. Hook short enough, interesting enough, and also cited. Article appears to be neutral and free of copyright violations and plagiarism. Cheers!♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:33, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
