1967 Penang Hartal riot
[edit]- ... that 1967 Penang Hartal riot erupted in response to the devaluation of the Malayan dollar against the newly established Malaysian dollar?
5x expanded by Earth (talk). Self-nominated at 10:19, 30 May 2017 (UTC).
I do not think the expansion of this article is large enough. I can't be sure as DYKcheck is not working properly for me for some unknown reason, but I do have a concern here. The hook is cited, backed up in the source, but a little dry if you don't know why Malaya and Malaysia are different. While you're at it, filling out some of the reference information (I had no idea the hook source was the Straits Times) and adding an inline citation to the last standalone sentences of the Cause and Aftermath sections would be very good idea. No QPQ needed — you have four DYK credits total with the last one coming in January 2009, so it's great to see you come back! Raymie (t • c) 06:56, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Earth: DYKcheck is working again and this article does not meet 5x expansion. You may want to add some of what I've suggested above. Raymie (t • c) 06:38, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
- Please note that the article was 499 prose characters prior to expansion, and is currently 2150 prose characters, short of the 2495 needed to attain a 5x expansion. It has already been a couple of weeks; I hope the expansion to incorporate an additional 345 prose characters can be started soon. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:09, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
