Hi Adolphus79, this article is currently too short to be featured as a DYK. As per the rules new articles must be at least 1,500 characters long. Let me know if you can expand it some more and I will come back to complete the review - Dumelow (talk) 09:22, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hello, I have just tried to expand the article. Unfortunately, being a tiny unincorporated community in Ohio, there is not much to go on... if it is not big enough, that is fine, I'm sorry for wasting your time... - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:43, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Adolphus79, it's at 790 characters now so needs to be about twice as long to qualify. If you can't expand it any further that's fine, just let me know and I can close the nomination. Don't be disheartened though, I enjoyed reading your article (the rat hunt is particularly interesting), and be sure to bring your next article to DYK if it qualifies - Dumelow (talk) 17:42, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
- Nah, I've exhausted about everything available to me for this little town... I just thought it was a random entertaining fact, and I know we need them, that's all... maybe next time... - Adolphus79 (talk) 19:12, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
No worries, Adolphus79. Good luck with the next one! There's a bot that should detect the cross symbol and automatically close this shortly - Dumelow (talk) 19:34, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
