Un-word of the year (Germany)

(

... that ethnic cleansing, collateral damage and human capital were each once named un-word of the year in Germany?

I am afraid the article is not adequately sourced. There is only one inline citation and it does not appear to cover the hook fact. Surtsicna (talk) 21:19, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

At only 391 characters, the article is also far too short. Text in tables is not included in the DYK text count. Gatoclass (talk) 11:19, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

As Gatoclass says, this article isn't long enough with respect to prose, since the table text doesn't count. I find plenty of information in the sources about topics such as how the word is chosen, other words considered, etc. That could be used to expand the prose in the article. --Orlady (talk) 21:42, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Please close and disregard. Currently, I'm not able to address these issues. --FoxyOrange (talk) 07:58, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
