5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self nominated at 06:20, 13 September 2014 (UTC).
- Even with the lengthy info box knocked off, article is long enough at 2,410 characters. Spot check reveals no paraphrase/copyright vios. Either hook is easily short enough. I supplied ALT2 in an attempt to be a bit more concise. QPQ is good to go. However, edit history reflects only a minor gain in article size (1,795 bytes to 3,405 bytes) before being nominated as 5X expanded.Georgejdorner (talk) 15:01, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- You are quite right, I had not expanded the article enough. I have now done so, so please take another look. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:07, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
I rechecked length. Character count of the nominated article is now 5X the character count of the text before expansion. Image is right out of Wikimedia. Article is good to go. So are hooks. ALT2 is probably best of the lot.Georgejdorner (talk) 17:34, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
