5x expanded by Donner60 (talk). Self-nominated at 20:13, 12 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Jackson expedition; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
@Donner60: Good article but there's one major issue. While the article was 5x expanded, it doesn't look to have been done in the past 7 days, instead being done over a longer stretch of time. You might have to bring this up to the DYK talk page to see if i'm wrong but that's something i noticed. Onegreatjoke (talk) 01:44, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
- OK, I'll ask. I did work on it for more than 7 days. I only finished the expansion yesterday and inserted the hook less than 7 days ago. I hope that counts. Otherwise, I suppose I have an extra QPQ for later. Donner60 (talk) 01:51, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: I have looked at the supplementary rules and it is clear to me that this does not qualify because the article improvement took place over more than 7 days. I would like to withdraw the nomination. I can't find any special icon or procedure for a withdrawal. All my previous DYKs were from new articles; obviously I did not pay enough attention to the rules for expansions. Thanks for looking at this. Donner60 (talk) 02:04, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
