The following Wikipedia contributor has declared a personal or professional connection to the subject of this article. Relevant policies and guidelines may include
conflict of interest,
autobiography, and
neutral point of view.
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
- Article is not a 5x expansion. The count went from
944 characters to
4525, which my copyedit brought down to
4429. You are a few sentences short (the target is 4,720).
- Neutral, cites sources, does not appear to contain plagarism (passes Earwig and eye checks)
- Hook is interesting and cited.
- This would be their fifth DYQ, so QPQ is not required.
- I have added in an image. It is freely licensed, the full size is used in the article, and looks good at 120px. Promoter: Note that uploading and adding to the article the original file are the uploader's only two contributions to any Wikimedia project.
Thank you for the comments and I will work out to add those sentences in order to match with the cut out. Give me a day to finish off my work.
