Chocoholism

Created by MelanieN (talk). Self nominated at 16:25, 15 April 2013 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg Couple things: the nominator says that this article was created by her, but that's untrue; on April 13 she began editing an already-existing article, thus the requirement here is 5× expansion. Looking at the editing history, it doesn't appear this article was expanded enough (yet) to be considered for DYK.
  • Actually that wasn't an existing article; it was deleted three years ago, in 2010. I had it userfied to me at that time, intending to write a new article but wanting to preserve the article history. Within the past few days I did a complete rewrite in my sandbox; virtually nothing from the deleted article was retained. I asked the original deleting administrator if my version was different enough from the deleted version to post, and was told to go ahead. I moved it from my sandbox to articlespace on April 14. I believe it should count as a new article since it did not exist in mainspace before the 14th. My understanding is that sandbox work does not count for DYK purposes; the date it is moved to mainspace is regarded as the date the article is created. Sorry, I should have explained this at the get-go; I realize the history of such an article can be confusing. MelanieN (talk) 18:32, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg Ok I understand now. Re-checked the article and everything is in order. Hook is also referenced in the article. Jrcla2 (talk) 14:58, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
