5x expanded by Kaleeb18 (talk) and VladimirBoys (talk). Nominated by Kaleeb18 (talk) at 14:06, 13 November 2021 (UTC).
Hi Kaleeb18, unfortunately I do not think this article is eligible for DYK. You'd need to have expanded the text content by 5x in length, which I am not seeing in the page history. You'll also need to resolve the many tags for additional citations and expansion in the article. Your best bet would be to get it to good article status and renominate then. See the DYK rules for more details. PS: I removed the image from this nomination, fair use (ie. copyrighted) images are permitted in articles only - Dumelow (talk) 14:35, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
- Ok that's fine if it can't be nominated and thanks for the suggestion. I'm also wondering what 5x or five fold means like how do I know if an article has been expanded 5 fold. Kaleeb18 (talk) 16:28, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Kaleeb18, no worries and good luck with the article. The expansion is based on the number of characters (ie. letters, spaces etc.) in the article before you started work on it and the number after you've finished. You can use a script like Wikipedia:Did you know/DYKcheck but I just copy the article text into an online character counter (there's loads of websites if you do a Google search for "character counter" or similar) - Dumelow (talk) 16:40, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
- There's also a handy Prosesize gadget that you can install from your Wikipedia preferences. ClaudineChionh (talk – contribs) 23:37, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
- @ClaudineChionh: is there an article describing hiw that gadget works or what it does? Kaleeb18 (talk) 13:55, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- A week before nomination, the page was 26257 characters. Now it is 15914, so it has shrunk. You would have to get to about 132000 characters to pass the 5x, so not really feasible. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:01, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Graeme Bartlett: yeah I forgot we removed a setion called relationships, which talked about Woody's relationship with everyone in the movie, was completely unnecessary and we got rid of 16,000 bytes by getting rid of that section. Kaleeb18 (talk) 13:47, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Kaleeb18: Yes – the Prosesize link I gave earlier. ClaudineChionh (talk – contribs) 05:47, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
