  • Sorry, Spooky31 but it's not eligible. Prior to your edits (even allowing some extra time beyond the seven day limit), it was 22587 prose characters, and it's currently 25163. (You may determine the prose size using WP:DYKcheck.) It's extremely unlikely that it could be expanded by the required five times. If you get the article to good article status, you may resubmit within a week of that designation. Please see WP:DYK for general information. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 09:38, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
