• Expansion well beyond 5× (3.1K to 23.3K). Began August 8, so new enough. QPQ checks out as well. I took the liberty of changing the hook to read "about one-third". From the info in the table. the actual proportion is a hair less than a third. Otherwise, the hook is OK—short enough, cited in the article to a news source. (Although the percentage isn't directly indicated in the article, it can be determined easily from the data in the included table.) Overall referencing OK. No other outstanding issues; didn't see any potential copyvios lurking around. Ready to roll. — Dale Arnett (talk) 02:31, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
