- I just found a larger Italian Wikipedia article on Pizzo Coca. The first one found was the Italian version in English and was listed was a stub. This Pizzo Coca it.wikipedia.org has more information and appears to be sourced by four Italian cites. Do you know how to port over an article like this and could that be used for the character count?--Morenooso (talk) 23:07, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- You can plug any language website URL into translate.google.com for a pretty accurate translation. I added some text to the article using this method that may need some minor cleanup but puts it over the 1500 threshold. Burpelson AFB (talk) 03:41, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- The nomination should now exceed the requirement thanks with an assist from Burpelson AFB. Going back and forth from the Google translations is killing me. I may add one more citation before I go to bed and will work on the article tomorrow. --Morenooso (talk) 05:42, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- The main hook was added and the old one became ALT1. I've taken the article as far as I can. Not sure if it qualifies for 5x expansion. ----moreno oso (talk) 06:24, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
