Crocheron–McDowall House
- ... that the Crocheron–McDowall House is the "finest and most intact" Greek Revival building in the US state of Texas?
Source: National Archives Catalog
(Page 21): "One of the finest and most intact Greek Revival residences in the state [of Texas]."
(Page 4): "The Crocheron-McDowall house at 1502 Wilson is one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture not only in Bastrop, but in Texas as well"- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/In Win Development
- Comment: This is my first article about a US historic landmark. Feedback is welcomed. Also, I'm open to using the image since it is under public domain.
5x expanded by MX (talk). Self-nominated at 23:47, 16 October 2022 (UTC).
Hi MX, I'm measuring just less than a 4x expansion from this version of the article. Could you check your calculation and confirm what character counts you are using for pre- and post-expansion? Thanks - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
Dumelow - Thank you for the review. I'd like to withdraw my nomination because I don't think I'll be able to expand 5x after further review of the sources available. I nominated this because most of the article was entirely unsourced and thought I had done enough. But I will consider this if/when it goes through a full GA review. Thank you.

- Hi MX, a number of years ago it was the case that unsourced content didn't count towards article length at DYK. It was gotten rid of because of the complexity of calculating this but it does discourage article improvement somewhat. Best of luck with the article - Dumelow (talk) 07:09, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
