- 5x expansion confirmed for 1991 Chicago Marathon and Joseildo da Silva. Dooney created 1/16 and is long enough. Articles appear policy compliant, and Earwig detected no issues. Hook is interesting, short enough, accurate and sourced. QPQ requirement satisfied. Cbl62 (talk) 22:12, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
