• Comment: The expansion of the article began in my userspace on 1 May, and was moved to mainspace on 3 May. This is my 3rd DYK nomination.

5x expanded by Ciridae (talk). Self-nominated at 09:16, 3 May 2020 (UTC).

• The primary hook is interesting here and the sourcing checks out, however the article hasn't been expanded enough to be eligible for DYK. It needs another few thousand bytes of data before it reaches 5x expansion. Mccunicano☕️ 04:59, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

• @Mccunicano: The article has been expanded 5x when it was submitted for DYK on 3 May 2020. You need to check the prose size not the size of the article itself. The prose size was 129 words (820 B) before the expansion and 720 words (4405 B) after it. Ciridae (talk) 07:30, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

• Thanks for pointing that out, I'm still a bit new to reviewing these. This is good to go then! Mccunicano☕️ 07:49, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

• No problem, and thanks for reviewing! Ciridae (talk) 07:56, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
