5x expanded by DDMS123 (talk). Self-nominated at 21:08, 18 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/William Bligh; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- I've added the obvious and necessary links. Seems good - is a QPQ needed? More later. Johnbod (talk) 21:46, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, the first hook checks out, but it seems odd to avoid the famous Mutiny on the Bounty in the hook. The source for the 2nd says it was the only time the government was overthrown by the military - "the only person in Australian history to be overthrown by the military" reads rather oddly, as I dare say the Australian military have done a good deal of "overthrowing" individuals over the years. A reword would be good. Johnbod (talk) 01:29, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
Never mind - the 5x rule says: "For DYK purposes, an article is considered new if, within the last seven days, the article has been created in mainspace from a redlink or redirect; expanded at least fivefold in terms of its prose portion" - here the recent expansion is much less than that, so it's no go I'm afraid. Most of your additions (in byte terms) are added references, which are admirable but don't count towards the "prose" numbers. Sorry! Johnbod (talk) 01:34, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
