... that baby talk actually helps infants learn?

5x expanded by Kfinsand (talk). Self nom at 19:01, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Note: I removed Angie Hartline from the credits, as no such user exists; I assume Ahartlin was intended, but they haven't touched the article since March 22. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 23:17, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, but it's well short of the five times expansion required. It went from 15964 prose characters to 22256, less than 1.4× expansion; and that was starting on April 24, so the nomination was also made outside of the permitted time, which is within five days of the start of expansion. Even if you count from the smallest version created by Kfinsand, it would still be just a 2.3× expansion (and such accounting is not allowed for DYK unless the material removed was vandalism or a copyright violation).
