This article has not been edited by a human for more than a month, therefore it is not eligible. Please read WP:DYKCRIT before nominating anything else.--Launchballer 19:27, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- I just added information about the use as an anthelmintic, with citations. ⲔⲖⲞⲢⲠⲒⲔⲢⲒⲚ (talk) 19:30, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- To be considered here, articles need to be either completely new, expanded 5x by character count, or promoted to Good Article. None of these apply.--Launchballer 19:34, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- I thought one of the criteria was that the article should have been translated from another language, which is what I did with a section. I believe the information I gave is interesting enough to be featured as DYK. ⲔⲖⲞⲢⲠⲒⲔⲢⲒⲚ (talk) 19:36, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- The rule is that transwikied content can count as new, but what you've added isn't enough; you've increased the total from 7147 to 8053. You'd need another 27682 characters to qualify.--Launchballer 19:44, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Well, I plan on working on the article to make it a Good Article, would it qualify? ⲔⲖⲞⲢⲠⲒⲔⲢⲒⲚ (talk) 20:01, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
