- Comment: I've only nominated 3 articles for DYK without doing a QPQ, so this is my last freebie
Created by Ficaia (talk). Self-nominated at 03:29, 7 December 2022 (UTC).
Article long enough, new enough, and generally appropriately referenced. QPQ is indeed not needed yet. Reliable sources are used properly throughout the article, and the hook is cited and mentioned in the article. Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px. Can't seem to notice any significant copyvio, so good to go. Taung Tan (talk) 16:19, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Ficaia and Taung Tan:
As text copied from the public domain does not count for DYK prose purposes, this article fails DYK's 1500-character length minimum. Could the article be rephrased or expanded? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 13:20, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Theleekycauldron: I'll work on expanding the article. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 00:16, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Ficaia: Any progress? BorgQueen (talk) 21:48, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- @BorgQueen: Yes, by my count I've added 1736 characters of text based on other sources. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 07:14, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

I'd like another reviewer to take a look. BorgQueen (talk) 07:34, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
