Overall: 5x expanded. It's now a great article. I like the initial hook, actually. Good, very recent, pic.

It does not affect the DYK approval, but you may in accord with MOS want to move two or three of the images that are now on the right to the left. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:C439:9C40:594F:1080 (talk) 08:26, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
