  • ... that Psalm 149 (pictured) begins with a call to sing a new song to the Lord, as also Psalm 98, known as Cantate Domino? Source: several, and the sourcetext of both

5x expanded by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 22:40, 8 January 2018 (UTC).

  • Just in time for the date but I'm sorry @Gerda Arendt: but this isn't a 5x expansion. It was 844 characters on 1st January which means it would need 4,220 characters and at the moment, it is 3,678 as I have to exclude the block quote of the text of the Psalm under rule A3. Also the opening paragraph and Anglican section are both unsourced. Furthermore, Psalm and Psalms needs to be capitalised in all instances. Please ping me when you have done them and I'll look over it again. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 23:04, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
  • Do you use DYK check? It tells me it's ok. If you calculate manually, you have to start with the last version before the expansion (735 chars). - If I say "a psalm" it is not capitalised, as "a concerto", so not "in all instances". - There's no blockquote. If you can't count the quote, I will have to rephrase, but I like - for topics I don't know much about - to stick with the wording of the expert. - Can you offer a bit of patience? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:15, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I'd like to withdraw the nomination. Two articles were changed, and I don't support the changes. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:34, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
