5x expanded by Daniel Case (talk). Self nominated at 19:09, 9 July 2014 (UTC).
5× expansion of 6 July 2013 version completed from 493 characters to 12,000+ and nominated 5 days later. Duplication detector check of online sources [1][2][3][4][5] and quick read through the others (that either can't go through Dup detector or don't contain prose) reveal no close paraphrasing issues (waiving direct quotes and applying WP:LIMITED). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 174 characters long (ALT1 is 188; ALT2 is 155); all three are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Image is free and in public domain. Refs 2 (verifying ALT2), 3 (verifying main), and 4–6 (verifying ALT1) are all reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 19:11, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
- The article exceeds 1,500 characters. The article history indicates the expansion of 5x began on July 4. If July 6 is taken as the start date, then the expansion is much less than 5 times. I think July 4 is correct and the 5x expansion is OK. Other than that, I found the article content interesting and the base hook grabbed my attention. It is accurate, and has an in-line citation, The two alternates did not really grab my interest, so I vote for keeping the original hook. I don't see any plagiarism or copyright vios. The image is free of copyright issues. I haven't done a QPQ search, but I notice that the author's page indicates he has many many credits for DYK nominations. I think the nomination should go forward. Bruin2 (talk) 16:03, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
