Sorry, AlabamaFan101, but it's not eligible. Before your recent edits to the article, it was already over 11000 prose characters. It's currently 11525, and it's extremely unlikely that it could be expanded by the required five times. (Also, the nomination hasn't been transcluded.) If you get the article to good article status, you may resubmit within a week of that designation. Please see WP:DYK for general information. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:51, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Mandarax, I am willing to help improve the article. I even asked this question on Talk:Lloyd Austin and I will allow you to answer the question there. That said, I request speedy closure of this nomination. —AlabamaFan101 (talk) 21:05, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
- Mandarax, turns out they actually knew the rules, most likely. :-) Drmies (talk) 02:07, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hehe, seeing their block, I thought it was a little harsh to call 'em an "Incorrigible Troll", until I realized that Incorrigible Troll is the sockmaster's name. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 03:01, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
