- Comment: The last pre-expansion edit, in August 2013, has the article at 3,681 characters. The current version (as of my nomination) has 18,551 characters, making this 5.04-times expanded.
5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self nominated at 15:55, 8 September 2013 (UTC).
5× expansion of August 16 version completed within 5 days. No copyright violations detected. Article is well-sourced. Hook is 92 characters long (129 characters for ALT1); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Ref 1 and 2 (verifying the hook) are both reliable sources; the former from Ruffing's SABR bio, the latter from a newspaper article at the time. Image is free and in public domain. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:48, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
