Not 5X expansion, according to DYK Check
- The history of the German article was imported to this article. I created this article on enwiki and it is impossible that it does not meet the requirements. Also it says "DYKcheck does not account for previous versions with splits or copyright violations."--GoPTCN 15:41, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
- Well, even without the DYK, all you have to do is look at the article's History. It says that before the expansion it was 6017 bytes, and after expansion 5637 bytes. Also, in the history, it looks like what you believed you were merging shows up as red links. Maile66 (talk) 17:50, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
- It was or is about 6017 bytes at the German wikipedia, but then I created this article on enwiki without the history of the German version. Then User:Graham87 imported the history of the German version per the request of the original contributor, User:Denis Barthel, and the old history appears now as the "first". The first English version is actually [1]. Also all similar previous DYKs have passed, eg Template:Did you know nominations/Trichia decipiens. The size is less than in the previous versions as German language is usually more wordily than English. Regards.--GoPTCN 18:00, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Passed, based on all criteria discussed above. AGF on German references. Maile66 (talk) 18:32, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
- I have a question here, this article is translated from German wiki right? Did You Know eligibility criteria 1.b states "The content with which the article has been expanded must be new content, not text copied from other articles." Does this count for text copied from other wiki projects? If it does this should rule this article ineligible, if not surely 2.b "DYK articles may freely reuse public domain text per Wikipedia's usual policy, with proper attribution. However, because the emphasis at DYK is on new and original content, text copied verbatim from public domain sources, or which closely paraphrases such sources, is excluded both from the 1,500 minimum character count for new articles, and from the x5 expansion count for x5 expanded articles." Would rule this as ineligible, unless a translation is counted as new content.Liamdavies (talk) 15:47, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
