  • Unfortunately, it falls just short of the length criteria: 1,485 characters before, to 6,909 characters afterward. The expected character count would be about 7,425 characters. I'm willing to give some leeway and allow you to add a couple more characters, even though you nominated it several days ago. I can then continue with the rest of the review.
Epicgenius, thank you! That's unfortunate to hear - I'd assumed it was a big enough expansion. I'm still pretty new to this. Thank you for the leeway - I'll expand the article a bit further today and let you know when I'm done. :) Ganesha811 (talk) 15:27, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
@Epicgenius: - I've expanded the article and it should be above the 5x standard now. Let me know if there's anything else I need to do! Thanks for your help. Ganesha811 (talk) 15:50, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
@Ganesha811: Should be good to go now. epicgenius (talk) 16:24, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
@Ganesha811 and Epicgenius: Great article and hook! Should we add the image from the article to the hook? It appears to be PD (pre-1924). – Levivich 17:03, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
Levivich, Epicgenius don't see why not! I don't know how, though - only had one DYK before and it didn't have an image. Ganesha811 (talk) 17:32, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
