Moved to mainspace by Chris troutman (talk). Self nominated at 21:14, 3 January 2015 (UTC).
Hook sourced, length is good and pretty interesting (crossed out the "boring" one); 2996 characters in prose so definitely fine length-wise; tone of article and hook is formal and neutral; however, the DYKcheck tool is saying the expansion was started in late November, well beyond the seven day limit. (Alot of content was added just today though.) Can I get a second opinion, please? --ceradon (talk • contribs) 00:01, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: By the way, I mean no offense when I say "boring", just the one that's likely to get less clicks. Cheers, --ceradon (talk • contribs) 00:03, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- I moved it into mainspace today, which counts it as new. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:34, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- @Ceradon: did you check the sources for close paraphrasing? Yoninah (talk) 18:08, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
I, in fact, did. Sorry I didn't make a note of it though. Thank you for pointing that out. Cheers, --ceradon (talk • contribs) 20:46, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
