5x expanded by Levendowski (talk). Self nominated at 22:45, 1 June 2014 (UTC).
This was a good expansion, but it does not appear to be eligible for DYK because the expansion was not fivefold. Prior to June 1st the article had 2854 B (458 words) "readable prose size" and now the article has 6643 B (1022 words) "readable prose size". gobonobo + c 20:24, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
I have checked the character count and I agree with Gobonobo's comment above. Sadly, I honestly do not believe that the self-nom would be able to expand the readable prose content of this type of biographical article, about a copyright official, to over 14,000 characters within the foreseeable future.--Storye book (talk) 17:30, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
