Siege of Paris (845)[edit]

(

... that Danish Vikings sacked Paris in 845, and did not leave until being paid a ransom of 7,000 pounds (3,200 kg) of gold and silver?

Comment: May not be fully fivefold expansion (more than four though, and possibly closer to five), but virtually turned a stub/start into good article material. Don't know exactly how strict the rules are. Thhist (talk) 16:24, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

5x expanded by Thhist (talk). Self nominated at 16:24, 25 April 2013 (UTC).

The rules are very strict... Bit b****y, if you don't mind me saying. But fortunately for you, DYKcheck says its expanded 5x, so I will tick that box. Looking at your talk page, you don't need to do QPQ, so check. Length good. Verifiable and unfree of copyright violations. Interesting. Passed. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 13:51, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
