The Twin Miracle edit

  • ... that the Buddha performed The Twin Miracle in a miracle contest against six rival religious leaders? Source: page 115 [1]
    • ALT1:... that the Buddha performed a miracle where he emitted fire from the top half of his body and water on the lower half in what would be known as The Twin Miracle? Source: page 45 [2])
  • Reviewed: I am credited with several DYKs because i helped get them to GA status, but i did not nominate or contribute to those DYKs. I was only involved in 4 DYK's, this is my 5th and final non-QPQ DYK.

5x expanded by Wikiman5676 (talk). Self-nominated at 06:04, 11 May 2019 (UTC).

  • @Wikiman5676: Readable prose was not 5x expanded according to DYK tool. Zerach (talk) 20:46, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
Okay, i will work to expand it more. Wikiman5676 (talk) 05:12, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

@זָרַח: I have expanded the article some more. I checked using the page size tool this time and it appears to have reached the 5x expansion this time. Wikiman5676 (talk) 06:48, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

  • @Wikiman5676: I am not sure what tool you are using; mine says that you need about 300 more characters to get there. That's not very much so I'll do the full review now.

  • @זָרַח: According to the page size tool i used, script mw.loader.load('//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3ADr+pda%2Fprosesize.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); // User:Dr pda/prosesize.js, this page, [[3]] was 174 words of prose. to now which is 876 words of prose. Which is why i thought it was okay. I will continue expanding, but can you let me know which tool you're using so i can check page lengths more accurately in the future? Looks like the one I used might be off. Wikiman5676 (talk) 05:02, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
  • @זָרַח: Oh I see now. Thanks. I will use that tool to check from now on. I have expanded the article once more btw. I think the character count has reached 5x by now. Wikiman5676 (talk) 04:04, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
