(

... that Uthayan is the only newspaper in Jaffna which did not cease publication during the Sri Lankan Civil War, amid numerous attacks and threats?

Two sentences in the section titled Attacks are unreferenced. I will continue the review after they are referenced. SL93 (talk) 17:56, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
- I noticed that the article needs to be 8,885 characters in all to be 5x expanded. DYK doesn't count what is in bullets, so you might want to make everything prose under Attacks. SL93 (talk) 17:59, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

I converted bullet points to prose. According to my calculation, this version contains only 1622 characters of prose, which means 8110 are needed for 5x expansion. And it contains 8400+ chars now. ASTRONOMYINERTIA (TALK) 17:36, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

According to DYK check, it says "Prose size (text only): 1177 B (202 words) "readable prose size" for that version. The tool is correct and I suggest using it check it yourself, but I was wrong earlier. I used the wrong version - it needs to be 5,585 which it is 8,328. Sorry. Everything is fine.
