5x expanded by Tomobe03 (talk). Self nom at 14:57, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- Please explain why you think this is 5* expanded and DYKcheck doesn't. Also I would name the three capitals in the hook, Europe is large, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:36, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
- The original article consisted of a two sentence lead, and a single sentence in Croatia section. Those contained a total of 468 characters including spaces. The remainder of the article contained bulleted lists containing further 350 characters, infobox, e-road template and markup. Currently, the article contains 4,900+ characters without the Concurrencies table, which contains further 1,800+ characters (see also and references sections, infobox and e-roads template were not counted in either case). Since the WP:LENGTH excludes tables and lists from prose size, i believe this article was expanded from 468 to 4,900 characters, i.e. tenfold. I cannot explain the DYKcheck result though.--Tomobe03 (talk) 09:54, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
