Hook is cited in article and is acceptable, but expansion from 3,763 to 9,001 is not 5x. Mgrē@sŏn 18:15, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Beyond that, on 28 June, the size was: Prose size (text only): 360 B (60 words) "readable prose size". Today, the size is: Prose size (text only):: 1911 characters (303 words) "readable prose size". 60*5 = 300. Five fold expansion. --LauraHale (talk) 21:23, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

She's right. We count the number of characters, not the raw byte size (otherwise people would just add spam in hidden text). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:22, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Sources are good, article checks out. Good to go. Mgrē@sŏn 03:06, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Shall we add this to the Olympics related pile to be run during the games? Secretlondon (talk) 07:27, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes please. :D That was the inspiration in writing it. :D --LauraHale (talk) 07:48, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
