Elizabeth Howard, Duchess of Norfolk[edit]

  • Comment: Extensively revised, expanded, rewritten and sourced with reliable sources during past 5 days; links to dozens of other Wikipedia articles added.

Created/expanded by NinaGreen (talk). Self nom at 22:43, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Prior to expansion, the article had 5617 characters of prose. It currently has 8895 characters, or a 1.58x expansion, well short of the 5x required for dyk. Chris857 (talk) 23:01, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for reviewing it. Is there a quick way an editor can check the number of characters in the earlier and revised versions before submitting an article to DYK? NinaGreen (talk) 05:32, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
Yes DYKcheck . It will calculate the expansion, and post a message at the top of the article saying whether or not it met the 5X. You can use it with or without loading it onto your left-hand Toolbox. If you have it in your Toolbox, all you have to do is pull up an article and go over to the Toolbox and click DYK check and let it do its magic. Lists, tables or blocks of quotes are not counted. Should you have questions about any result, you can always post a query over at WPDYK— Maile (talk) 21:54, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks! I'll give a try with the article I'm editing now. NinaGreen (talk) 22:49, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Cleanup is always appreciated, but this instance is not for dyk. Good luck on future articles. Chris857 (talk) 04:07, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I now have DYKcheck installed, and can check article expansion in future before submitting to DYK. NinaGreen (talk) 06:45, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
