5x expanded by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 09:01, 30 June 2021 (UTC).
- Article has been expanded 5x so is both new and long enough. Cited hook is referenced. Article appears to be within policy. Submitter just needs to carry out their QPQ before it can be ticked off. ISD (talk) 11:48, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- ISD, it looks like you only reviewed one article. Did you review both nominated articles (130th Regiment of Foot and Sir George Pigot, 3rd Baronet) or just one of them? (Dumelow, it does kinda appear to be one long link instead of two; I'd recommend rewording a bit to separate them, but if you're happy with it as is, that's fine.)

- Thanks ISD and Mandarax, second QPQ now completed. I see what you mean about the closeness of the links. How's the ALT below? - Dumelow (talk) 06:57, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- ALT1:... that the 130th Regiment of Foot, raised by George Pigot in 1794, was disbanded just two years later after suffering heavy losses due to tropical disease?
