Did You Know Candidate[edit]

This would be a great article to nominate for DYK. It will take an additional 6000 chars to meet the expansion requirement. The article is currently 1500 chars, so 5x that is 7500. Please add all edits to the Talk page or a sandbox. When everything is ready we can make one large edit to the article. I have more prose, an Infobox and pics and a discography in my sandbox.

The way figure it it has gone form 230 words on May 11 to 1157 now. (1362 --> 6950 B (chars). Looks alright for a 5x expansion?? Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:51, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If someone has access to the NY times then this might be good for cause of death. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:00, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can see some issue with fluctuation of article size on 2/4 May. Ah well, what about a note on his grandson in the body of the text? Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:00, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
