Hi, I came by to promote this, but it does not appear to be a 5x expansion. On September 8, before expansion began, the character count was 1290. As of the latest edit on September 14, the character count is 4933. Another 303 characters are needed to reach a 5x expansion. Yoninah (talk) 21:25, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Yoninah:. Y The original expansion had characters deleted by another editor, but have now added text so it now stands at 5,677 characters. Papamac (talk) 15:32, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Iainmacintyre: thank you. My Java Script counter counts 5,668 characters. But a 5x expansion from the 1,290 figure would be 6,450 characters. Yoninah (talk) 22:38, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Yoninah:. Y Further expanded. Wikipedia character counter now shows 6519 characters. Can hopefully now be promoted. Papamac (talk) 09:21, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the character count is at 6593 char now. No close paraphrasing seen in new text. Restoring tick per Ergo Sum's review. Yoninah (talk) 15:00, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

revert[edit]

not clear what this adds to the article,[1], the second part would be ok....Wishart's name is given to one of the two forms of type 2 neurofibromatosis, the Wishart phenotype, which is seen in young people and characterised by multiple rapidly growing cerebral tumours.[19] not the first part of the revert...IMO--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:44, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ozzie10aaaa: Thanks for those edits. I've restored that second part as above under heading Legacy, which certainly seems appropriate.Papamac (talk) 19:22, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
