Vovan and Lexus
Elton John (pictured) was pranked by Russian comedians in 2016
- ... that Russian prank duo Vovan and Lexus, who were behind prank calls to English singer Elton John and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, are accused of ties to Russian security services? Source: Elton John and security service claim, Trudeau prank
- Comment: Not sure about the image caption, so this can be changed if needed. The Trudeau mention can be replaced by another "victim" of the duo if people here think they're more interesting.

- Comment: I am puzzled that my addition is listed in the 5x expanded claim above, as my paragraph addition was made on 15 July 2021, well outside the past seven days criteria. Also likewise NikosLikomitros addition was in November 2020. Only the proposer's additions are within the past seven days, and of thos additions only 379 characters clearly refer directly to an event in 2022, the rest seems general article expansion. (But I am a DYK novice, so maybe I misunderstand WP:DYKRULES.) Rwendland (talk) 11:05, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Doing a 5x hand check (unix wc of text without TOC, photos, cites, notes, excess white space): 5 days ago: 4462 characters (history: 9,033 bytes), current article: 5485 characters (history: 16,378 bytes).
