Josiah Marshall Heath[edit]

  • ... that as well as patenting the use of manganese oxide in the making of Sheffield steel, Josiah Marshall Heath had a bat named after him?

  • Comment. In this version of the article, dated 12 August 2013, was an {{Expand French}} from September 2012. I have done so (and marked the translation on the Talk page). Although the byte count has not quite increased fivefold, I believe the actual body content has increased more than fivefold since most of the byte count of the article at that version (the version before I started editing today) is infoboxes, references, categories and so on. A portrait would be nice but I can't find one in the public domain. Si Trew (talk) 14:51, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Comment. I know in the past it as been discussed whether a translation counts as new content. The consensus seemed to be that it does. Si Trew (talk) 10:14, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
DYK Eligibility criteria 1.f Articles that are translations from other wikis count as new articles. — Maile (talk) 00:17, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Full review needed. According to DYKcheck, this qualifies as a 5x expansion. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:22, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
Long enough, expanded, hook is short enough and sourced. Books as far as I'm concerned are offline sources and thus I haven't checked for copyvios. This is your final freebie. Good to go.--Launchballer 13:30, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
