- Comment: DYKcheck may not pick this up as a 5x but it is 5x from the immediate last revision. In memory of Addie Ottley (1941–2022). My first radio DYK in the USVI (all that's left is Puerto Rico!).
5x expanded by Sammi Brie (talk). Self-nominated at 06:20, 13 February 2022 (UTC).
, hooks are mentioned and have been verified. (AGF on paywalled NYTimes article). I like ALT0 better. A qpq has been conducted. Article was expanded from 697 B to 4029 B of prose, indeed over a 5x expansion. I wish the article could be brought up to present day, but this is good to go regardless.
