Spotted imperial pigeon

[edit]

5x expanded by Gulumeemee (talk). Self-nominated at 03:35, 14 March 2017 (UTC).

  • Right, to begin, this is my first review. The article was created on 24 July 2007 but was not nominated within 7 days range. It was expanded over two days and was nominated on 14 March 2017. Considering 7 days limit, the article had 1291 characters (123 words) on 12 March 2017. As of today, the article has 5967 characters (654 words). The characters have not expanded by fivefold within the date range, although the word count has. Perhaps consider further expansion as there was only 488 characters between the article and fivefold its original size before 21 March.
  • Thank you for the review. The fivefold expansion is actually a fivefold expansion of the prose, not including infoboxes, references, external links and categories. The 1291 characters includes characters that are not counted as prose. I used User:Shubinator/DYKcheck.js to count the prose characters. There were 279 characters in this version before the expansion and 2758 characters in this version after the expansion, so the prose was expanded by more than fivefold.

  • Sorry for the delay, I thought I had responded. Nevertheless, thank you for that. The article is new (expanded), long enough (2758 characters), is neutral and within policy. The hook is 135 characters, interesting to a broad audience, sourced and is neutral. You have not used an image and have reviewed another hook. Therefore, the hook is ready and acceptable for DYK, well done Gulumeemee. Soaper1234 (talk) 10:29, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
