- This article is still classified as a Stub. Not yet 5X expansion. The article was started in 2007. As of May 5, it was 1,360 bytes. Expansion brought it to 5,406 bytes, but it would need to be 6,800 to be 5X expansion. Maile66 (talk) 14:32, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
- If you look in the "History" of the article you will see that the version on May 5th had 171 B and 27 words. It now has 3127 B and 527 words. I think that is an 18x expansion. I have removed the stub classification from the banner. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:32, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
- OK, I see the Stub has been removed, so that's fine. There's a difference in what we're looking at, as far as expansion. Your figures are an increase in the DYK check for readable prose. My figures on expansion came from the History and make it look different. And going back and reading the DYK guidelines, you are absolutely correct. My error on this one. Sorry about that.
