Taichung BRT Blue Line

... that the Taichung BRT was the first articulated bus in Taiwan?

5x expanded by BigBryan0 (talk). Self nominated at 14:40, 30 January 2015 (UTC).

@Kaob1: The prose portion is 2.71 KB. It was created on 9 January so that may be a problem. It may also need some more references in the body paragraphs. However, it is long enough and within policy. Epic Genius (talk) 16:31, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

How big does the prose section have to be? I thought it was just at least 1,500 words. Also, why does the date pose as a problem? This is my first nomination, sorry that I don't know these things. Kaob1 (talk) 02:59, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: it appears that the page was created on January 9 as a stub, and then was 5x expanded on January 30, the same date as the nomination. Yoninah (talk) 18:41, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Apologies, I saw that the addition was from 1.6 kb to 5.4 kb, but it looks like the prose was 5 times expanded. I didn't see that qualification before.
@Kaob1: The date may be a problem because if the article wasn't expanded 5 times over within the past five days, it may not be eligible. However, after looking it over, I think it's fine now. It looks good to go. Epic Genius (talk) 18:57, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: Thanks! (was Kaob1, changed username) BigBryan0 (talk) 14:31, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

@BigBryan0: No problem. I've updated the DYK template so you can get attribution under your new username. Epic Genius (talk) 20:55, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Removing tick added by nominator; approval icons should only be added by reviewer. As the article's was 5x expanded on the date it was nominated, it certainly qualifies in terms of newness and length. (DYKcheck is the gold standard for checking DYK prose size, and an article should be nominated within seven days of creation or start of expansion.) Current status of the nomination—approval or problems—is indicated by the icon the reviewer places at the beginning of a review. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:58, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

(Pinging original reviewer Epic Genius. Also wanted to be sure that you've checked neutrality and close paraphrasing.) BlueMoonset (talk) 02:01, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Oops, so sorry. I forgot all about this.
After looking through the plagiarism detector, etc., I did not find any evidence of plagiarism or close paraphrasing. The images are good, and no QPQ is good. The hook is short enough, the content is new as of the time of this nomination, and is within policy. I think this is good to go. Epic Genius (talk) 03:16, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
