Improved to Good Article status by Mackensen (talk). Self-nominated at 02:24, 8 March 2017 (UTC).

Maybe I am missing something here, but it looks like this DYK? nomination simply doesn't meet the necessary criteria for this; after all, it was neither created nor expanded five-fold within seven days of this DYK? nomination being made. Indeed, can someone here please double-check this? Futurist110 (talk) 19:15, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
@Futurist110: it was promoted to good article status within the past seven days. Mackensen (talk) 20:20, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
I'm sorry; I didn't see that. :( Futurist110 (talk) 01:10, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

I love the ATL1 suggestion. It would be a good joke on April Fool's Day. FunksBrother (talk) 18:34, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes, that would have been great had this DYK? nomination actually qualified. Futurist110 (talk) 19:15, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Per WP:DYK "Articles designated as Good articles within the past seven days, regardless of whether they were expanded, are also eligible." This article achieved GA status March 8, 2017. Futurist110 If you wish to use this as a QPQ credit, please provide a review that covers the DYK criteria. For your convenience, at the top of this template in the DYK Toolbox is a Reviewer's template that lists each of the criteria required for a review.
