- ... that the Munich Mouser, Neville Chamberlain's pet, and Nelson, Winston Churchill's pet, had a rivalry during World War II? Source: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/12/27/forget-larry-palmerston-original-number-10-cat-rivalry-revealed/ "However there was already an occupant – Mr Chamberlain’s cat, dismissively nicknamed 'The Munich Mouser' [...] In the end, Nelson – Sir Winston’s cat – triumphed. The Munich Mouser was chased out of Number 10 and he moved in alone"

- Comment: Munich Mouser is a 5x expand, not a GA promotion. Last week it was at 114 words, and is now at 585. For that article, I did Template:Did you know nominations/Running Out of Time (Paramore song)

@Tim O'Doherty: Good articles. Onegreatjoke (talk) 16:58, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
Not quite a 5x expansion for Munich Mouser. I'm seeing 670 B (115 words) expanded to 2725 B (461 words) of "readable prose size". Note that block quotes aren't counted per A2 (I'm using prosesize.js). gobonobo + c 17:46, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- @gobonobo Right. I used a manual word count checker for that article. I'm going on holiday tomorrow—in fact, I was packing my bag when I got the notification—and I thought that it was a fivefold expansion. Could you please do a IAR here, as I'm a bit pushed for time and I still think the article counts as "new enough". If not, I'll see what I can do. Best, Tim O'Doherty (talk) 18:07, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Tim O'Doherty I have no problem with waiting until you've returned from vacation. Or, if you want to just proceed with DYK for the Nelson article and the same hook, the only difference is that Munich Mouser wouldn't be bolded. gobonobo + c 18:23, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Gobonobo - Thanks for that. I'm planning to take Munich to GA after I come back; might we wait until then? I'd quite like it to be a joint-article hook. If that means waiting a bit longer, I'd be game. Cheers, Tim O'Doherty (talk) 18:28, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Munich Mouser is now expanded past 5x. Everything checks out for DYK. gobonobo + c 15:43, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
