5x expanded by HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk). Self-nominated at 06:57, 21 November 2021 (UTC).
I'm going to stretch the rules a bit and call this new enough. Pre-expansion, the article was 2135b of readable prose, now it is 9647b or readable prose. That is a 4.519X expansion, but that rounds up to five, right?Per the count the article is long enough. Regarding copyvio/paraphrasing, Earwig is happy and so am I. Matches are long Proper Names and a quote. Article written in neutral manner, and everything has an inline citation. Hook within format guidelines.I don't think the hook is accurate, the article and the source say 0.4 seconds, not 0.7 seconds.Hook is neutral and generally interesting. QPQ not done yet.No image to check against.Fix the hook, and the QPQ, and hope the promoter agrees with me regarding the length, and this is ready for mainspace exposure. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 20:19, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
- 78.26, Thanks for the review. I fixed the hook and I have expanded the article to 5x. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:06, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
- HickoryOughtShirt?4 - article now 5x expended outright. Hook fixed, is in article supported by inline citation. Ping me when you've got the QPQ done and this is ready. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 01:56, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
- An error on my part. There is indeed an image, with appropriate permissions. Displays fairly well at small size. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 02:39, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

All issues fixed. The hook is accurate and inline cited to a reliable source. The length issue is fully addressed. This is ready for mainpage exposure. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 17:07, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
