5x expanded by Big Blue Cray(fish) Twins (talk).

Unfortunately, Big Blue Cray(fish) Twins, you're correct – neither article is eligible for DYK. For rules, see WP:DYK; in particular, within the last week, an article must be newly created or five-times-expanded. Oerlikon GDF is currently 4900 prose characters, and Prize of war is 3059, so 5x expansions would be unlikely. You could get the article(s) to WP:Good article status and renominate within a week of that designation. If you do, be sure to include a bold link to each nominated article in each hook.
