Marion Nicholl Rawson[edit]
- ... that Marion Nicholl Rawson – author and illustrator of early American life, arts and technology – documented unique New England expressions like "I wish I had a neck as long as a cartrut" (good drink!)?

- Question I haven't nominated many DYK's and I'm not sure I selected the correct status of the article (new, expanded, etc.). It was one of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Women artists/Notability concerns and additional content and sources have been added recently. There were some interesting facts in the bio that I thought would make for a good DYK. My question though is: Is this a type of situation where a DYK is allowed?--CaroleHenson (talk) 17:40, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

This would be treated as an expansion, but unfortunately it hasn't been sufficiently expanded. As determined by DYKcheck, it was 1725 prose characters before expansion, and it's now 3583. Since a five times expansion within five days is required, another 5042 prose characters would be needed to make this eligible. Sorry. (BTW, when the DYK form asks for the "article creator or expander", only users who participated in a recent creation or expansion are credited; a user who created an article four years ago would not receive DYK credit.)

It was worth a try - I was just trying to give our women artists a day in the sun, but I understand the criteria better now.--CaroleHenson (talk) 21:15, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
