  • Comment: My 5th nomination, so I believe this is the last one where I am exempt from QPQ. I will work on the article a bit more, but nominating now to meet the deadline.

  • This article doesn't meet the DYK size requirement; it is only 1079 characters—well below the 1500-character minimum. Sorry! MeegsC (talk) 17:30, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Oh, I totally missed that! Sorry. However, it seems like the DYK check did not account for the entire "types" section because it was a bulleted list. I have removed the bullet points (for now; I want to rewrite that a bit anyway), so afaik it now passes the limit. Not sure if this is considered cheating MeegsC and The C of E, but I feel like that is readable text. If you can allow the nomination to stay here a bit, I will work on the article further. If not, well then just remove the nomination. --LordPeterII (talk) 14:33, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
  • OK, I'll leave this here to stop it getting closed prematurely. I don't have time to check it at the moment, might be able to later. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 16:13, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Thanks. However, I now realize that the article is in a worse shape than I thought, with several sections badly sourced or outdated. The first hook might actually not be accurate as per this source [4], but I wasn't aware of this until just now. If you can bear with me, I will try to get the article in better shape. Feel free to start the review, but I believe it currently would not pass all quality criteria. --LordPeterII (talk) 14:02, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
  • @The C of E: Thanks again for the help, but I'm afraid I'll withdraw the nomination now anyway. The article is now being heavily edited (thanks Obama Senator Sanders!), and I can not guarantee its integrity for DYK. Also, I have other projects and things to do irl, so... yeah I withdraw this. Maybe once it is a good article we can try again :) --LordPeterII (talk) 09:28, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
  • @LordPeterII: If this article makes it to GA, please bring it back to DYK. --evrik (talk) 16:53, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
