[edit]- ... that on September 2, 2008, Somali pirates seized the yacht Carré d'As IV, prompting a French commando operation within two weeks?
5x expanded by GeneralizationsAreBad (talk). Self-nominated at 02:31, 7 July 2016 (UTC).
The article before expansion started was at 1784B readable prose size which has been increased to 7021B. But that's not 5x yet. Ping me for further review if and when 5x expansion is done. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 08:51, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Dharmadhyaksha:
Done. Thanks for your patience. GABgab 02:15, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Dharmadhyaksha:
- So the article is 5x expanded now. Article is written well. Images used are properly licensed on Commons. Hooks is good. No apparent copyvio problems. QPQ is not needed being nominator's second nomination. However all quotes need citation just exactly where the quote ends. have added cn tags accordingly and done some copyediting. Not a major point, but in "at about 6:30 in the morning" 6:30 in which world's time? Also, "The attack on the Carré d'As IV was not France's first encounter with Somali pirates" sound very much like a news byte. Please rephrase that. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:39, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Dharmadhyaksha: Done: phrase removed, reference to time removed (I couldn't discern what time zone it was), and all quotes are cited. Thanks once again for your help. GABgab 22:46, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
