  • article has not been expanded 5x: only 506 characters to 1610 characters. It needs 1000 more characters to be a 5x expansion. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 20:14, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the observation. Please see that the article is new & I expanded it meet the 1500 character requirement for new articles for DYK. My mistake in saying that it was expanded 5x. Please confirm whether or not the DYK is acceptable under new article criteria or not. AshLin (talk) 17:53, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Expanded to 2690 characters (449 words), just to be on the safe side.
  • Article of a good length, well referenced, new enough (apologies for the confusion). Interesting hook and referenced. Good to go. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 01:43, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
