... that the Saleh Mosque (pictured) in Sana'a, in Yemen, when built was considered too expensive at US$60 million in relation to country's general impoverishment of 42% of people living in poverty?

5x expanded by Nvvchar (talk). Self nom at 07:22, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm, I count slightly less then 5x: before the expansion,

157 words, and after, 724. I believe that's about 50-60 words short. Can this be expanded? (Also, some subsequent copyediting reduced this further to 645 words). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 18:36, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes, pl allow a day more. Dr. Bloefeld and Rosiestep are adding more text as per my earlier request to make it 5x. They also need to be credited. Thanks you.--Nvvchar. 23:05, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

It is expanded now. Both Dr. Blofeld and Rosiestep who have added and edited text have been given credit in the list. Thanks.--Nvvchar. 02:13, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

722 words now, which is still short by some. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:37, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

I've expanded it a bit more. --Rosiestep (talk) 01:10, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

DYKcheck is now reporting sufficient expansion. Please note, for future reference, that expansion is measured in prose characters, not words. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:27, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Full review of article and hooks needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:03, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Article is a fivefold expansion and is long enough and new enough. The hook ALT1 (which I have tweaked for smooth reading) is well sourced. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:43, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
