Gouzenko Affair

    • Comment: The article was expanded 5 fold since December by User:Jifflers1, with its most recent expansion on the 20th.

5x expanded by Jiffles1 (talk). Nominated by Earl Andrew (talk) at 14:19, 22 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Gouzenko Affair; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • Offline source. Approve ALT1 as cited inline, but ALT0 struck out for now as I do not see the red scare statement mentioned and cited inline (outside the lead, which is not cited inline). ALT1 is more hooky anyway. Earwig flagged a 43%, but that's due to a quoted sentence and a particularly long commission name. Sufficient expansion and referencing otherwise, QPQ not needed as this is Earl Andrew's first DYK. Good to go. Juxlos (talk) 07:29, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
