This article is new enough and almost long enough. Before you started expanding it, it was 1503B characters as far as I can see and it is now 7251B. The long block quote does not count unfortunately. Can you add a few more sentences so that it gets over 7515B? Sorry to be a pain! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:09, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Hmm. I must have mistakenly checked the version before my December edit (which is outside the expansion window). Done now. Paul_012 (talk) 08:59, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! The article is now long enough, the hook facts are sourced, the article is neutral, Earwig gives the article a clean bill of health and I detected no policy issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:31, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
