  • Hi, welcome to DYK. I'm sorry to tell you that the page doesn't meet DYK requirements. It needs to have been a five-fold expansion, and going from 11,000 to 17,000 characters of readable prose—which does not include bullet points—does not qualify. I see you're working on this article for a class at UNO. I'm reading over this right now, and I have a few non-DYK thoughts that I feel may be of use to you:
  • The article is excessively detailed and contains details that are useful only to the most niche portions of the festival. Read Wikipedia:Too much detail.
  • Part of the problem is that the article now has a lot of lists which I would probably remove. Most of our articles are primarily prose, not a list, because it's easier to read that way and creates a more encyclopedic end product.
  • Some additions may be excessively promotional in nature.
@Whodatmom, Luliloisel, and AlexisReed: While I have to deny the nomination, I've also asked a couple of editors to give you feedback on the talk page and suggestions to make your contributions integrate better with the encyclopedia as a whole. Hopefully my comments and theirs will assist in the improvement process. If you have further questions, I'm more than willing to provide guidance as well.
