Not a 5x expansion

William Buchan

[edit]
  • ... that Domestic Medicine written by William Buchan was one of the longest standing medical texts? Source: " It was one of the most popular and long lived books in Europe. There were over 80,000 copies and 19 different editions and was translated into almost every major European language. It continued to be printed in Britain until 1846 and in the Americas until 1913."

5x expanded by Lethalbehemoth (talk). Self-nominated at 19:10, 10 March 2017 (UTC).

  • To be more precise, the article was 2843 prose characters prior to expansion, and 6103 prose characters afterward, a little over a 2x expansion. To attain 5x would require 14215 prose characters, which seems just about impossible. Probably the best route to DYK eligibility would be through the article becoming a Good Article, but the copyvio issues would need to be addressed before that route is attempted.

  • Marking for closure: there has been no response from the nominator despite edits elsewhere, and no expansion to the article. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:51, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
