If you strictly apply the DYK rules, this nomination fails because it was made on December 1st and the 5x expansion started on November 23rd. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:17, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I know, but many similar exceptions have been made in the past and with DYK so backed up I saw no need to hurry.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:19, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

And I was past the 5x mark within the time, but I was completing and polishing.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:19, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

A substantial and interesting article. 5x expansion, date, image and hook are all fine. The duplicate detector does not bring up anything that is concerning. Despite being submitted slightly late, I think this is a worthwhile article for inclusion in DYK. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:20, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, I appreciate the flexibility.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:24, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
