Praise

[edit]
  • ... that praise can promote positive behavior in adjacent, non-praised individuals?

5x expanded by Bcaplanucla (talk). Self nominated at 21:02, 8 December 2014 (UTC).

  • The nominator made improvements in userspace and added the content to the main article on 2 December. This means that the readers who read the article before 2 December didn't saw the improved version. This is an excellent example of post-histherge complications. @George Ho: please review the article. Thanks.--Skr15081997 (talk) 15:50, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Oh, Skr15081997. I almost forgot to tell you; the logs before 27 November 2014 from the sandbox were merged into the logs of this article. Before that, the user copied-and-pasted from the sandbox on 27 November 2014. The expansion starting on 25 (or 27) November counts as fivefold. The WP:DYK rules wants typically fivefold-expanded and newly created articles. For improved articles, they must be Good Articles first. Get it? --George Ho (talk) 17:59, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
  • I'd like to request another review, since this is a first time nominator editing as part of an education program. I've added a QPQ, but won't object if another person agrees with George's conclusion. Fuebaey (talk) 20:02, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
This is a superb article that I found both easy to read and very informative. It's precisely the sort of thing that we should be promoting. I can't be sure, but it appears the arguments against DYKing this are based on the delay between the major expansion and the posting of the DYK request here. If that is the case, I vote in promoting this because its good content irregardless of it following or not following some arbitrary rule. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:37, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
