- Comment: New version moved from userspace on May 7
5x expanded by Ruby2010 (talk). Self nominated at 00:10, 8 May 2014 (UTC).
I am afraid I don't get this article to be a five-fold expansion Before, After, but rather about a three-fold expansion. Regards, Iselilja (talk) 18:55, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
- I was hoping that the starting version would be counted as this on May 7 (the previously deleted sentences were not verifiable to me; I could add them back in I suppose, but they would still be uncited). Thoughts? Ruby 2010/2013 20:54, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
- I have tried also that version, but I still don't get a five-fold expansion. With the short 7 May version, I get with my edit counter 922 charachers if I don't include the "Titles, styles, honours and arms" section,while the expanded version with my measure is 3271 characthers (if I exclude the issue/titles sections). If I include the issue/titles sections, I get short version 1371 characters and expanded version 4108 characters. What numbers do you have by your counts? I am absolutely not an expert in this, so I am open to a second opinion. Iselilja (talk) 21:35, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
- According to DYKcheck, the article currently has 3190 prose characters. Expansion is from the 914 prose characters the article had before the May 3 deletions, unfortumately, not the 651 prose characters after those deletions. As it says at WP:DYKSG#A4:
Fivefold expansion is calculated from the previously existing article, no matter how bad it was (copyvios are an exception), no matter whether you kept any of it and no matter if it were up for deletion.
Since this was just uncited text, it counts. To be a 5x expansion, the article will need to be 4570 prose characters, which means an extra 1380 prose characters need to be added. Ruby2010, do you think this is feasible? (Incidentally, one of the deleted sentences has returned, in part: the one about Albert II of Monaco. For DYK purposes, there's nothing preventing you from adding the others to existing paragraphs, though independent paragraphs must be sourced, and you'll need sources if you intend to take the article to GA.) If you don't think it's feasible, then if this does become a Good Article it could be renominated then. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:33, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
