  • Article is classified as a stub; stubs may not be DYK entries. If it isn't a stub, it should be reclassified prior to approval. Can the reviewer please specify which checks have been done? A simple checkmark, especially for a recent addition to DYK reviewing, is not a good idea. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:13, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
  • I originally classified it as a stub, but it's been expanded beyond that point. The article is currently at 2070 characters of readable prose. I've removed the tag.--SGCM (talk) 22:21, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks. I like the further additions you've made even since the article was reviewed. I've made some tiny edits to the article, and agree it doesn't appear to be a stub any more. However, as I can't tell what was reviewed and how—DYKcheck would have caught the stub classification issue—I can't reinstate the approval until I'm sure all the other bases were indeed covered.

  • I didn't know stubs weren't eligible. It passed on everything else. Aaron You Da One 10:28, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Which is? At this point, a list by you of "everything else" is in order. There may well be something else you didn't know to check for. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:37, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Good to go. The following has been checked in this review:
