@Ficaia: Any movement on this? If the article doesn't meet the length requirement in a week, I think we should probably close. Also, for anyone passing by, rephrasing a bunch of public-domain text already in the article is a pretty easy way to pick up a DYK credit... theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 07:49, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Theleekycauldron: Pbritti and I have been working on it. I'll try and add/change some more. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 08:17, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Theleekycauldron: Ficaia did some additions and rewording in mid to late December. Do you think the changes are sufficient to pass this? 97198 (talk) 22:22, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't think so. A lot of the attempts to rephrase wind up being WP:CLOP, and most of the new additions are just citations, which don't count. I'm going to suggest that if the changes aren't made within a week, the nomination should be marked for closure. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 22:31, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Theleekycauldron: By my count, there are 1000-odd characters in the lead, also I've added about 300 characters to the body from 2 sources I added, and Pbritti has done some rephrasing. As this is very nearly ready, please don't mark it for closure. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 04:54, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ficaia: Parts of the lead throw Earwig flags as well, make sure you get those. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 22:58, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alllll righty! Looks like we've got an expansion done; Pbritti, want to do a re-review given the new content? theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 00:06, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good (for real this time!). Hook approved and article passes. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:00, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
