Brindille1 (talk) 03:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC). This was not expanded five-fold in the past week (since 24 April), but great work on the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Me Da Wikipedian (talk • contribs)

@Me Da Wikipedian: Hey, this article definitely underwent a 5x expansion that finished in the last week. The entirety of the “Managerial History” section is new: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_New_England_Revolution_managers&oldid=1220820808. If you look before April 22nd, there was even less of a lede: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_New_England_Revolution_managers&oldid=1219433381. This meets WP:5X as I expanded the article’s prose by 5x, and that effort ended this week. Brindille1 (talk) 13:56, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Brindille1: As far I can tell, there has not been five-fold expansion, but still a lot of it. And for the purposes of DYK only the past week is counted. Put it into a word counter and character counter, everything agrees. Thank you though for expanding it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Me Da Wikipedian (talk • contribs)

WP:DYKcheck says this was 866 characters as recently as 26 April and is 6476 now. Full review needed.--Laun chba ller 15:26, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Full review:

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall:

Article was nominated within a week of being expanded fivefold. Article coverage is neutral with the prose being consistently backed by reliable, high-quality sources formatted with inline citations. Earwig shows no copyright violations; top result only borrows spoken quotes. Though it's rather embarrassing to see as a Revs fan, ALT0 is unfortunately the most interesting hook out of the bunch, with ALT2 being second-best. All hooks are sourced and mentioned in the prose. No QPQ requirement necessary for this user. Here's to hoping the Revs can at least get the #1 draft pick next year... in the meantime, this nom is good to go! Aria1561 (talk) 23:49, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
