Wes McCauley[edit]

5x expanded by Athomeinkobe (talk). Self-nominated at 07:34, 15 November 2016 (UTC).

  • DYKcheck sez that "Article has not been created or expanded 5x or promoted to Good Article within the past 10 days (279 days)". It is also still classified as a stub. Cheers, Kingoflettuce (talk) 13:57, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
    • Kingoflettuce, it appears DYKcheck sez wrong. The version immediately before I expanded the article had 82 words. The version that was current when I submitted the DYK had 422 words, so it was expanded more than 5x. It also had more than 2,100 characters (2,500 if you count spaces), so it is well over the 1,500 minimum required for DYK and the 250 words generally considered the stub level. In any event, I have expanded it further, so it is now at 484 words, almost 6x expansion. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:23, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
I did take a look at the history, but eventually doubted my own maths (maybe a lil' off 5x??) and trusted what DYKcheck said... Now that's out of the way, I'm happy to say this is good to go: has been expanded, hook is interesting and cited, and article as a whole is well-referenced. Cheers!
