... that New York City police officer Adrian Schoolcraft was confined involuntarily to a psychiatric ward after criticizing the city's "stop and frisk" policy?

~~2x expanded and sourced (BLP)~~ Expanded by Groupuscule (talk). Self nominated at 08:21, 17 May 2013 (UTC).

Article has only been expanded about 3x and was sourced before expansion. I don't think that's OK per the rules. ^King Jakob _C2 01:22, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

True, this isn't a 5x, but it's a very interesting article and I'd like to give it a bye. Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:19, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

As I said, I don't think it can happen as a 5x expansion would mean that you need to add 89,184 bytes to the article. And the 2x expansion wouldn't work because it was already sourced. ^King Jakob _C2 12:30, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

With this edit, the readable prose increased from 1394 characters to 10328 characters, based on DYK check. Isn't that an expansion of more than 5x? Sorry if I'm missing something obvious. groupuscule (talk) 12:45, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

You're correct - and why was that not obvious to me when I looked at the history? Must be markup. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:01, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Facepalm Of course! I was counting Wikimarkup, not readable prose. Given that, I will say

Good to go.^King Jakob _C2 14:50, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

I'll use this window of re-un-protection to say thanks, y'all :-) groupuscule (talk) 16:11, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
