The High Llamas

[edit]

Expanded by Ilovetopaint on 25 December (talk). Self-nominated at 16:30, 29 December 2017 (UTC).

  • Good job expanding, but it seems like this wasn't expanded 5x. 7 days ago, it was at 3739 characters of readable prose. It is currently at 10544 characters, but a 5x expansion would require 18695 bytes. /~huesatlum/ 02:57, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
@HueSatLum: The article was rewritten completely from scratch. Everything apart from the infobox and quotebox from this revision was unsourced. If I had removed all the uncited material before expanding, then it would have appeared as a 10x expansion. Does it make a difference that I skipped that step? --Ilovetopaint (talk) 03:32, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
Unfortunately, WP:DYKFN F2 states: Fivefold expansion means at least five times as much prose as the previously existing article – no matter how bad it was. So it doesn't matter that the previous content was unsourced. /~huesatlum/ 03:52, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
OK then I guess I'll resubmit after it's reviewed for GA.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 04:55, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
Okay, marking X for clarity. /~huesatlum/ 14:41, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
