5x expanded by WesleyDodds (talk), Casliber (talk). Nominated by Casliber (talk) at 14:02, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Several issues with the nomination but the most glaring is that the article was created in December 2010 and has not even increased two-fold in the five days leading up to the nomination. FruitMonkey (talk) 19:06, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Correction, the file size of the page increased from 2,415 bytes to 5,194 bytes. The prose, which is what dyk counts, increased from 306 characters 2094 characters, a 6.8x expansion. Chris857 (talk) 20:25, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Fruitmonkey, the tool that is needed is at User:Dr pda/prosesize.js. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:03, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Apologies, I've been away a bit and appear to be a bit old school on DYK. If the content count is covered as stated above then, the hook works, I'm assumming the off-line cite to the fact is covered in the cite at the end of the paragraph, which can therefore be taken in good faith, especially as a quick look at You Tube shows Robert Smith "dancing" in what appears to be a bear costume. One small point to the article that does not effect the DYK, is that the Fair use rationale to the image used links to the wrong single cover as its original point of reference. Apart from that it seems good to go.FruitMonkey (talk) 23:21, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

I added the content to that paragraph, and I can verify that the cite at the end of the paragraph covers all the details of said paragraph: filming location, costumes the band wore, and Tim Pope's comments. WesleyDodds (talk) 23:41, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
