- ... that nervous laughter can relieve stress?
5x expanded by Kristinafreund (talk). Self nom at 12:43, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
- After I removed two paragraphs of content that wasn't really relevant to the topic, the article no longer meets the fivefold expansion requirement. rʨanaɢ (talk) 13:01, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
- It feels unfair to the author/expander of this article that you as the reviewer made the article inelligible by your edits. Forgive me, but just saying :) I reverted; please give the author time to make changes necessary for a promotion. You have not made suggestions to this author, have you?

- Perhaps Rjanag's economy of words made his review/edits seem unfair, however after looking at the revisions made to the article it looks justified (and makes for a 'better' article). The content removed was irrelevant and/or superfluous and should go. I believe that the expansion and DYK submission were both made in good faith by a new editor to wikipedia and advice and guidance are a great way to improve any future contributions. Even still the article as written (or sensibly revised by Rjanag) doesn't qualify for DYK. --MTHarden (talk) 17:19, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
