5X expanded by Bremps (talk). Self-nominated at 22:49, 10 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Nestor Binabo; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

I think I still have a freebie or two left? Bremps! 22:54, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article expanded over fivefold at the date of the nomination. The original hook is quite interesting, though then again so is ALT1. Either way, both sourced and cited inline. This is your third DYK, so after this you have 2 more freebie. Juxlos (talk) 08:11, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. 👍 Good work on the Indonesian articles btw. Bremps! 14:48, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I mean 5X expanded. Bremps! 22:49, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
