5x expanded by I am. furhan. (talk) and 142.177.125.72 (talk). Nominated by Exoplanetaryscience (talk) at 20:39, 4 May 2015 (UTC).

• If we take the expansion date as April 30, then the pre-expansion article prose size (as of April 28) is 12714 B, post-expansion size is 16165 B, far from a 5x expansion. There was some expansion earlier in April, but even if we go back to the last version in March the prose size was already 9571 B, and we're stll not close to 5x. Additionally, many paragraphs and some whole large sections (e.g. Visibility) are still missing sources or poorly sourced. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:10, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
