5x expanded by Kline (talk). Self-nominated at 04:29, 29 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Wawa Airport; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Special:Diff/1187424825 is easily a 5x expansion. I think the fact sounds interesting and, if I'm not wrong, is not a common occurence with airports. Prefer ALT1 due to concision while conveying the same point.--N Ø 22:17, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MaranoFan and Kline: I moved a citation in our article to cite the hook fact at end of sentence. This was to adhere to DYKCRIT about hooks. Bruxton (talk) 15:39, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
