• -Hook, source, length fine. Moved from sandbox to mainspace so expansion is fine.Smallman12q (talk) 13:29, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

• It's difficult to figure out because there were two copies of the same article being edited (and I may have just made a mess of the history merge) but it looks to me like the was already at least 28,000 characters before the students' work began [1] and is about 40,000 now [2], this is only about 1.5x expansion. We greatly appreciate your class's work on these articles, but one of the DYK criteria is that articles must be new or expanded in size fivefold. rʨanaɢ (talk) 16:08, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
