Overall: Thank you for this fascinating and worthy article. Assuming that 5x expansion began on 30 December, the 5x expansion between 30 December and the present is 1,046→5,311 characters. So in spite of the above reservations, DYK Check does bear this out, as does a manual check - so no problem there. The hook has 186 characters, which is within the max 200 characters, and it is repeated and cited in the article. Good to go. Storye book (talk) 21:44, 11 January 2022 (UTC) To T:DYK/P3
