The Iraq War: A Historiography of Wikipedia Changelogs edit
... that a 7000-page compendium exists in book form showing all edits made between December 2004 and November 2009 to the Wikipedia article for the Iraq War?- ... that The Iraq War: A Historiography of Wikipedia Changelogs consists of 7000 pages of Wikipedia changelogs?

Currently this article has 845 B of prose, well below the required 1500. Chris857 (talk) 17:34, 28 June 2012 (UTC)- Agree that it's too short. I'm fascinated though - what was the motivation of the author? There must be lots to write about this. My alt hook: Secretlondon (talk) 22:05, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

- I changed the hook to your proposal. Blue Rasberry (talk) 12:49, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- I've got it up to 1100 characters but I'm struggling. All the coverage is trivial - the technology blogs of news media. Is there enough here to write 1500 characters? Secretlondon (talk) 22:47, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, it is a work of art and interpretations and reviews of it are significant when they are reported from reliable sources. I added more and I put it through a character counter to get 1700. Thanks for your contribution. Blue Rasberry (talk) 01:42, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry it's still only 1367 chars according to DYK check. Secretlondon (talk) 16:56, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- I added more! Surely now there is enough. I tried to set up DYK check for myself but I could not get it to work and want to play with it more another time. I copied the text to a character counting tool. 64.17.247.50 (talk) 17:28, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
- I found more sources still. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:43, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
- It's long enough now - 1707 characters. It needs to lose the stub tag, there's probably other stuff too. Secretlondon (talk) 14:15, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Good to go (however I wrote a little bit of it - does someone else need to sign off?) Secretlondon (talk) 03:33, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- Normally, yes, especially as you also came up with the hook. However, it's being double-checked as part of the promotion, so it works out this time. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:57, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
