Vermont gubernatorial election, 2014

(

• Back to T:TDYK

• ... that because no candidate won a majority of the vote, the 2014 Vermont gubernatorial election will be decided by the Vermont General Assembly?

• Reviewed: Von Sydow murders. Tiller54 (talk) 11:11, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

5x expanded by Tiller54 (talk). Self nominated at 22:30, 11 November 2014 (UTC).

• Sorry to say it, but I don't think the first slot should be wasted on what is essentially a "B-roll" establishing shot. EEng (talk) 05:12, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

• Sorry but I don't know what you're referring to (this is my first DYK nomination). Tiller54 (talk) 11:41, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
• 16px I don't know what B-roll means. However, the expansion is not fivefold. The November 10 edition was 1480 prose bytes (or the Nov 11 edition was 1644 prose bytes). The current version is 4917 prose bytes. That is less than fourfold. If you can expand it to fivefold, the article can be reviewed again. Otherwise, the nomination will fail. --George Ho (talk) 06:22, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

• How about now? Tiller54 (talk) 11:41, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

I mean that having a picture of the state house doesn't really add anything. It's like when the news is talking about the president meeting with Joe Smith, but for some reason they don't have any footage of the president meeting with Joe Smith, so they just present a shot of the White House while the newscaster talks. (Don't think everyone at DYK is grumpy like me. I just haven't had my coffee.) EEng (talk) 13:16, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Would a picture of Governor Shumlin be a better option? Tiller54 (talk) 13:38, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

I recommend skipping the picture altogether. EEng (talk) 14:11, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

• Over 9000 bytes which meets fivefold requirement. Time for someone else to re-review this. --George Ho (talk) 03:57, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Any update on this? Tiller54 (talk) 17:42, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

• This article is new enough (or was new enough when nominated!) and long enough. The hook is uncontroversial and supported by many sources. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:27, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
