    • Comment: Not 5x expansion but 2x expansion. However, the hooks are superb in my opinion, and this is a level 5 vital article. Thus I am calling on WP:IGNORE and submitting this article to DYK.

5x expanded by TheLonelyPather (talk). Self-nominated at 15:43, 3 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Charm quark; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • @TheLonelyPather: This is a 2x expansion and while I appreciate you trying to do an IAR I feel that you'll have to bring this up to the DYK talk page. Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:38, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
  • I think I am going to push this article to GA status before re-submitting it for DYK. I feel like I can still use some extra sources. Admins, feel free to fail or remove this nomination. --TheLonelyPather (talk) 07:28, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
